When describing keno to newbies, some gaming experts compare it to bingo. This is at least in part correct, in that both games are generally numerical. But to take that comparison too far can be to undervalue the many unique traits that make keno so entertaining. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the ability to choose the numbers for each card.
Keno cards have a grand total of eighty numbers, but the gambler is accord an increased level of personal responsibility by being able to pick as numerous (or as few) numbers as he desires. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to figure out how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all of your desired numbers with a good old#2 pencil like you used when you were a kid.
After you have selected your numbers, carry your keno card back to the clerk at the keno stand. The keno pit manager will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Do not misplace this (potentially) expensive bit of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your mug and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will get precisely $.00 for your efforts.

You need to get back to the keno stand to get your winnings, since a new round of keno will most likely begin within 5 minutes.
