Keno Strategies That Are Sure To Win
It will not often be deemed the most fun game in the universe of betting, but keno has loads of zealous supporters. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a constantly entertaining lottery-ish game that’s a snap to play, abundantly available in many different styles, and one that might pay out millions for people who master its numerous subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basic rules here.
When describing keno to novices, some gaming pros compare it to lotto. This is at least partially correct, in that both games are basically numerical. However, to take that comparison too far might be to misunderstand the innumerable unique aspect that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the power to pick the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is granted an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as many (or as few) numbers as she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your chosen numbers with a good oldball point pen like you used when you were in third grade.
After you’ve picked your numbers, take the card back to the keno pit manager at the keno stand. The clerk will record your numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will win precisely $.00 for your time spent.
So, there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let’s get on to something a tiny bit more advanced, yes?
Once you’ve picked your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action take place on a monitor. This is where the winning numbers are shown in lights. If you checked winners, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You are required to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, as a new round of keno will likely start within a few minutes.
Strategy #2: always be sure to get back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you can’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin every time, you always have the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty cards. When the max amount of keno games (fitting the number of tickets) is finished, you can then get off your lazy back side and go retrieve your winnings.
Still another option is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally allows you make number choices for 30 games or more. Gosh, you can take a world tour and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
And now you are aware of several indispensable schemes for winning keno. If you are a good player, they might seem very obvious. However, it does not hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a novice keno player, every tiny bit of direction will help make your keno experience more captivating.
