Keno Tactics That Work
It will not ordinarily be considered the most fun game in the world of wagering, but keno has millions of zealous followers. And so it should! It’s a consistently thrilling lottery-style game that’s simple to pickup, readily available in tons of assorted styles, and one that will yield millions of dollars for those who master its heaps of subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules for now.
When explaining keno to newbies, some wagering experts compare it to bingo. This is at least partly correct, in that each game is essentially numerical. However, to take that comparison too far is likely to be to minimize the endless unique traits that make keno so fun. Not like bingo, keno players have the power to choose the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is furnished with an additional degree of personal responsibility by being able to decide on as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she needs. And it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your chosen numbers with a normalball point pen like you had when you were in grade 3.
Now that you’ve marked your numbers, carry the keno card back to the nice person at the keno stand. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your mug and wants help out, without a winning receipt with you, you will collect exactly $.00 for your actions.
Ok, there you have strategy #1: always take care to keep your keno receipt. Let’s go on to something a little bit more advanced, shall we?
After you’ve picked your numbers, get yourself into a nice keno booth and see the action happen on the video monitor. That’s where the winning numbers appear for all to see. If you picked winners, mark your card accordingly. Sake care not to take too much time, or sit there praising 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 probably start within five minutes.
Strategy number two: always make sure to get back to the keno stand on time!
Since you don’t trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each time, you always retain the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 slips. When the maximum number of rounds (the same as the amount of tickets) is played, you can then get off your lazy bum and go collect your winnings.
Still another opportunity is recognized as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally lets you make number picks for thirty games or more. Gosh, you can take all the time in the world and not have to fret about getting back in time to get your winnings. Most "stray and play" slips are good for up to a whole year after you purchase it!
So now you have learned a couple of required strategies for winning keno. If you are an accomplished keno player, they might appear to be stupidly obvious. Still, it will never hurt to study up on the basics, and if you are a new user, every little bit of information will help make your keno playing more exciting.
