Keno Strategies That Will Help You Win
It may not generally be seen as the most fun game in the field of wagering, but keno has huge amounts of dedicated players. Why wouldn’t it? It’s a consistently thrilling lotto-like game that’s simple to pickup, abundantly available in loads of different variations, and one that might yield millions of dollars for those who master its uncounted subtle intricacies. But let’s start with the basic facts for now.
When defining keno to newcomers, some wagering masters compare it to the lottery. This is at least in some ways apt, in that each game is fundamentally numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to underrate the innumerable unique characteristics that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno users have the ability to choose the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the player is given an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to select as numerous (or as few) numbers as he desires. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your chosen numbers with a every day oldpen like you used when you were in school.
Now that you’ve checked your numbers, take the keno card back to the nice person at the keno booth. The nice person will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Do not lose this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your pretty face and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will win precisely $.00 for your time spent.
Ok, there you have strategy #1: always make sure to keep your keno slip. Let us advance to something a tiny bit more useful, what do you think?
Once you’ve marked your numbers, get into a nice keno booth and see the action take place on a big video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers are displayed for us. If you checked winners, mark your card appropriately. Make sure not to drag your feet, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You want to get up to the keno stand to get your winnings, and then a new round of keno will almost certainly get going within a few minutes.
Strategy number two: always go back to the keno booth on time!
Since you can not trust yourself to beat that five-minute deadline every time, you always retain the option of purchasing a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to twenty cards. When the maximum number of games (matching the number of tickets) is played, you should then get off your lazy rump and go collect your winnings.
Still another alternative is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which generally lets you make number picks for 30 keno games or more. Hell, you can take all the time in the world and not have to worry about getting back in time to get your numbers. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
So now you have learned a few required techniques for winning keno. If you are an adept gambler, they may seem to be incredibly obvious. Still, it won’t hurt to bone up on the basics, and if you are a new player, every little bit of information will help make your keno betting more enjoyable.
