Keno Strategies That Win
It might not often be looked at as the best game in the realm of gambling, but keno has huge amounts of dedicated followers. And why not? It’s a routinely entertaining lotto-style game that’s a snap to learn, abundantly available in several different styles, and one that can pay out mega-dollars for people who learn its numerous subtle intricacies. But let’s begin with the basic facts here.
When describing keno to newbies, some wagering pros compare it to lotto. This is at least to a certain extent apt, in that each game is generally numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far can be to devalue the innumerable unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno players have the power to select the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is given an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as she desires. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your selected numbers with a normal#2 pencil like you had back in the day.
Once you’ve checked your numbers, take the keno card back to the keno pit manager at the keno stand. The girl will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t drop this (potentially) valuable bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers you and would like to help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will win precisely $.00 for your efforts.
Now there you have strategy numero uno: always take care to keep your keno ticket. Let us get on to something a little bit more complex, ok?
Once you’ve checked off your numbers, get into a comfortable keno booth and observe the action take place on a video monitor. This is where the winning numbers appear for us. If you’ve got winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to drag your feet, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You need to get up to the keno stand to redeem your winnings, as a new drawing will certainly start within 5 minutes.
Strategy number two: always make it back to the keno booth on time!
Since you don’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the same set of your desired numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 tickets. When the maximum amount of keno games (matching the number of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your numb back side and go redeem your winnings.
Yet another option is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally lets you make number choices for thirty rounds or more. Heck, you can take all the time in the world and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
And now you are aware of a handful of indispensable methods for winning keno. If you are an advanced keno player, they may appear to be stupidly obvious. However, it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a newbie keno player, every bit of information will help make your keno games more captivating.
