Keno Methods That Win
It might not usually be seen as the best game in the arena of betting, but keno has huge amounts of dedicated supporters. And it should! It’s a regularly entertaining lottery-esque game that’s a snap to play, readily available in many different styles, and one that might return millions of dollars for people who learn its limitless subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basic rules here.
When defining keno to newcomers, some wagering masters compare it to bingo. This is at least in part apt, in that each game is generally numerical. Yet to take that comparison too far would be to minimize the endless unique aspect that make keno so compelling. Not like bingo, keno players have the power to select the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the player is given an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your handpicked numbers with a ordinary#2 pencil like you used when you were in grade 3.
After you’ve checked your numbers, carry the game card back to the keno pit manager at the keno stand. The girl will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) lucrative 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 exactly $.00 for your winning card.
OK, so there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us move to something a little more advanced, ok?
After you’ve marked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and see the action unfold on the big keno monitor. This is where the winning numbers are displayed in lights. If you selected winners, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You really want to get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, since a new drawing will likely begin within five minutes.
Strategy number 2: always make sure to get back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you can’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin each time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 cards. When the maximum number of rounds (matching the amount of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your lazy back side and go redeem your winnings.
Yet an additional alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno ticket, which generally allows you make number selection for thirty games or more. Hell, you can take vacation to France and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!
And now you are aware of a number of needed techniques for winning keno. If you are an accomplished player, they may seem to be stupidly obvious. But it will not hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice player, every tiny bit of information will help make your keno wagering more exciting.
