Keno Tips

There aren’t to many tips that you need to play Keno well, but there are always pointers that will make the game more enjoyable, and this will help you to win more often.

1 – Look around. When you get to the casino, look around the Keno lounge to see where the game display boards are, where the cashiers are, and where the chairs are. This is a very good point because you want to get somewhere that’s close enough to the cashiers so that you can get your bets on quickly and collect your winnings quickly. Spending to much time trying to find a Keno booth may just mean that your winning ticket may be declared null and void, so make sure you can get there in time!

2 – Pay attention to the games. This is important not only when you win, but also when you bet and watch the games. Make sure you know that a winning ticket can be collected in time, and also make sure that you can get your numbers on in time for the next game. Watching the games is very important too. You don’t want to get mixed up and loose a good ticket just because you haven’t kept up with what game is being played.

3 – Get a “Walk Away” ticket. Most real-life casinos offer a Walk Away ticket, meaning that you can claim the prize in a more realistic time frame. Be sure to check exactly how long you have to claim the prize as this can vary between casinos. This helps because you don’t need to be concentrating so hard on the games and you and take a more leisurely approach to playing Keno.

4 – The numbers are random. Just because the numbers that you chose this game didn’t come up, that does not mean that they are more likely to come up in the next game. The numbers are chosen purely randomly, so the chances of each number coming up are exactly the same every time a number is drawn.

5 – Patterns don’t match. Picking numbers in patterns does not give you an advantage. Choosing the numbers ’10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15’ will give you exactly the same chance of winning as if you chose ‘4, 15, 18, 36, 49, 70’. A lot of people don’t like to group numbers together because they think that those patterns don’t come up. The reality of the game is that they can come up, and there is always times when they do.

6 – Collect your bonuses. When you play online, the online casinos will always offer some form of deposit bonus or sign-up bonus so make sure that you claim this! The only thing sweeter then winning with your own money is winning with the casinos money.

7 – Don’t bet on a lot of numbers. This comes down to the odds of having the numbers drawn and the expected return from the bets. The bets odds for expected returns are available when you don’t bet on any more then 8 numbers on each ticket. Betting on 8 numbers gives you odds of 230,000 to 1 of having all 8 numbers drawn. Betting on 9 numbers gives you odds of 1,300,000 to 1 of all of those numbers being drawn. Remember, lots of small wins over a long amount of time is better then one (but probably no) big wins.
