Keno Schemes That Win
It will not generally be looked at as the best game in the field of betting, but keno has millions of passionate fans. As well it should! It’s a routinely entertaining lottery-like game that’s a breeze to pickup, readily available in tons of assorted variations, and one that might pay out millions of dollars for gamblers who master its endless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basic rules for now.
When defining keno to newcomers, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain degree apt, in that both games are basically numerical. However, to take that comparison too far might be to underestimate the countless unique characteristics that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to pick the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the user is furnished with an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your picked numbers with a normal#2 pencil like you had when you were in school.
After you have marked your numbers, carry your game card back to the keno pit manager at the keno stand. The person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your efforts.
OK, so there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno receipt. Let’s get on to something a little more complicated, shall we?
After you’ve picked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and watch the action happen on a video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers show up for us. If you marked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, and a new round of keno will almost certainly start up within a few minutes.
Strategy #2: always get back to the keno stand on time!
Assuming you don’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute deadline each time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from two to 20 slips. When the maximum number of keno games (matching the amount of tickets) is completed, you may then get off your numb back side and go get your winnings.
Another choice is known as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which usually allows you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to Italy and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to redeem your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
So now you have learned several required schemes for winning keno. If you are an accomplished user, they may seem to be very obvious. But it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the basic practices, and if you are a new player, every little bit of direction will help make your keno playing more entertaining.
