Keno Schemes That Win
It may not generally be thought of as the funnest game in the arena of gaming, but keno has huge amounts of dedicated followers. And it ought to! It’s a always entertaining lotto-like game that’s a snap to learn, readily available in many assorted variations, and one that might yield mega-dollars for those who learn its countless subtle nuances. But let’s deal with the basics here.
When describing keno to newcomers, some gaming masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least to some extent apt, in that both games are fundamentally numerical. But to carry that comparison too far would be to downplay the great many unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Not like bingo, keno enthusiasts have the power to choose the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is given an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to select as many (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your desired numbers with a standardpen like you used when you were in third grade.
Once you’ve checked your numbers, take your keno card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The girl will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your pretty face and wants help out, without a winning slip on you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your efforts.
And there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us move on to something a little bit more useful, yes?
After you’ve marked your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and watch the action happen on the video monitor. That is where the winning numbers appear in lights. If you have winners, mark your card accordingly. Be sure not to dilly dally, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You are required to get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, since a new drawing will almost certainly begin within five minutes.
Strategy number 2: always go back to the keno stand on time!
Since you can’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin each time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 tickets. When the max number of games (matching the number of tickets) is finished, you may then get off your numb bum and go collect your winnings.
Another choice is recognized as a "stray and play" keno card, which usually lets you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Heck, you can take an ocean cruise and not have to worry about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" tickets are good for up to a whole year after you by it!
So now you are aware of a handful of essential methods for winning keno. If you are an accomplished gambler, they might appear to be stupidly obvious. However, it won’t hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a novice keno player, every bit of information will help make your keno playing time more captivating.
