Keno Strategies That Will Help You Win
It will not generally be seen as the funnest game in the realm of gambling, but keno has tons of dedicated fans. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a always thrilling lottery-like game that’s a breeze to pickup, abundantly available in lots of different formats, and one that can yield millions for those who master its countless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the basic facts here.
When describing keno to beginners, some gaming connoisseurs compare it to bingo. This is at least partly apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. But to take that comparison too far would be to downplay the good many unique traits that make keno so exciting. Not like bingo, keno players have the ability to select the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is given an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he wants. 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 handpicked numbers with a good oldpen like you used when you were in grade 3.
Now that you have selected your numbers, carry your keno card back to the girl at the keno booth. The person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t misplace this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning slip with you, you will be given precisely $.00 for your time spent.
So, there you have strategy #1: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let’s move to something a little bit more complex, yes?
Once you’ve marked your numbers, get into a comfy keno booth and observe the action happen on the video monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you picked winning numbers, mark your card aptly. Make sure not to move to slowly, or sit there congratulating yourself for too great a length of time. You are required to get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, and a new drawing will surely begin within a few minutes.
Strategy number two: always make sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you can’t trust yourself to make that five-minute margin each time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to twenty tickets. When the max amount of keno games (the same as the amount of tickets) is finished, you should then get off your numb rump and go retrieve your winnings.
Still another option is known as a "stray and play" keno card, which generally lets you make number picks for thirty keno rounds or more. Golly, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to retrieve your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after it’s bought!
So now you are aware of a handful of needed strategies for winning keno. If you are a discerning player, they might appear to be very obvious. However, it doesn’t hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice gambler, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno playing more entertaining.
