You don’t need to be Einstein to learn
how to play Keno, it’s just a matter of few minutes. As a
matter of fact, if you know the basic rules for lottery, you already
know how to play Keno games. In first place, you need a Keno ticket
that you can buy in the casino or keno parlor. These cards or tickets
have eighty numbered squares, from one to eighty arranged in rows
of ten. There also are ping pong like balls with the same amount
of numbers, they are placed at a big plastic or metal sphere. The
sphere is spun to throw the balls in a random way. Most of the placed
in which Keno is played you can choose a maximum of twenty numbers
from your ticket, since that is the biggest amount of balls that
the sphere draws.
The ticket consists of several areas that you need to mark in order
to know the type of game you choused to play. An area is determined
to mark the number of games as well as one is to mark the number
of spots or ways played. You have to mark all of this to avoid misunderstandings
when the game is over. There is a space determined to write down
the price per game and another one that holds the total price of
the ticket. That depends on how many games you choose to play the
ticket for. If your ticket costs one dollar and you are going to
play five games, the total cost of it is five dollars and so on.
Once you have filled al the required information, you have to take
your ticket to the counter or keno desk with your wager. The clerk
gives you a duplicate ticket for you to keep. The numbers that the
sphere draws are displayed in a big screen or electronic board,
so all can see them. If you win, you must remember this when collecting
your prize, the prize is instantaneous, you must claim it before
another round of the game starts. Do it right away!
If you have any questions regarding the Keno rules at your local
casino or keno parlor, just check out one of the keno brochures.
They are placed everywhere, so people could see them easily. All
the thing you could be wondering are answered in the brochure, anything
related to keno is in there. But if you don’t find an answer
to your query at the brochure, you could always ask the clerk.
A little tip, play only for fun, don’t expect to become rich
from Keno, you can’t change the odds or lower the house edge,
so, if your luck isn’t at your side, you should try another
game.
