Yet to take that comparison too far will be to underestimate the great many unique aspect that make keno so interesting. Unlike bingo, keno gamblers have the power to choose the numbers for each and every card.
Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the player is furnished with an increased degree of personal responsibility by being able to determine as many (or as few) numbers as he or she wants. And it doesn’t take a doctor of keno to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your chosen numbers with a standardball point pen like you used when you were in third grade.
Once you’ve picked your numbers, take your card back to the girl at the keno booth. The nice person will record your numbers and then hand you a receipt. Don’t lose this (potentially) lucrative bit of paper! Even if the clerk remembers your face and wants help out, without a winning receipt on you, you will be given exactly $.00 for your efforts.
And there you have strategy number one: always be sure to keep your keno ticket. Let us move on to something a little bit more advanced, ok?

If you checked winning numbers, mark your card appropriately. Be sure not to take too much time, or sit there praising yourself for too great a length of time. You must get back to the keno booth to redeem your winnings, as a new drawing will surely start up within 5 minutes.
Strategy number 2: always go back to the keno stand on time!
Since you can’t trust yourself to meet that 5 minute margin each time, you always have the option of using a "multi-race" ticket.

When the max amount of keno games (matching the number of tickets) is finished, you will then be able to get off your lazy back side and go get your winnings.
Another choice is referred to as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally lets you make number selection for 30 rounds or more. Gosh, you can take all the time in the world and not have to fret about getting back in time to redeem your numbers. Most "stray and play" game tickets are good for up to a whole year after you by it!
