Keno Strategies That Will Help You Win
It won’t often be considered the most lucrative game in the realm of gambling, but keno has millions and millions of dedicated players. And it should! It’s a routinely entertaining lotto-like game that’s a breeze to pickup, abundantly available in several assorted variations, and one that may yield mega-dollars for people who master its countless subtle rules. But let’s start with the beginner’s rules for now.
When defining keno to newcomers, some betting pros compare it to the lottery. This is at least partially correct, in that both games are basically numerical. Yet to carry that comparison too far is likely to be to miscalculate the many unique aspect that make keno so interesting. Not like bingo, keno gamblers have the ability to pick the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is accord an extra degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a keno superstar to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your selected numbers with a standard#2 pencil like you had when you were in grade 3.
Now that you have picked your numbers, take your keno card back to the clerk at the keno booth. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then hand you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) valuable piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning receipt in hand, you will win precisely $.00 for your winning card.
OK, so there you have strategy #1: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let’s get on to something a little more complicated, yes?
After you’ve selected your numbers, settle into a comfortable keno booth and see the action happen on the big keno monitor. That is where the winning numbers show up in lights. If you picked winning numbers, mark your card accordingly. Make sure not to take too much time, or sit there praising yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You must get back to the keno booth to get your winnings, since a new round of keno will most likely start up within 5 minutes.
Strategy number 2: always go back to the keno booth on time!
Assuming you do not trust yourself to beat that 5 minute deadline each and every time, you always retain the option of using a "multi-race" ticket. These include the self same set of your handpicked numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 tickets. When the max number of rounds (fitting the amount of tickets) is completed, you may then get off your numb rump and go retrieve your winnings.
Yet another alternative is referred to as a "stray and play" keno card, which normally lets you make number picks for thirty keno games or more. Golly, 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" game cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!
And now you know a handful of necessary strategies for winning keno. If you are a skillful player, they may seem to be stupidly obvious. Still, it will never hurt to bone up on the fundamentals, and if you are a novice player, every little bit of information will help make your keno betting more exciting.
