The Casino Lounges

Just ask for it back. And you don't expect the casino operator to come over to you after a big win and ask for his money back. In fact, to me the ideal way to play keno is to take away a big win and never play the game again. You've done the incredible-scored despite the odds.

Don't press your luck. Such a fortunate player was a friend of mine I'll call John, who won $15,000 and instead of giving it back to the casino in small doses, invested it in a route which enabled him to carry on a small business which he eventually sold for $300,000. Now, that was a nice keno win.

Then there's the gambler I know, one of the premier poker players of all time, who arrived in Vegas some years back after losing his entire stake in a high-rolling poker game.

He was about to call his wife for a ticket back to Texas on the Greyhound, but before doing this, he sat down to a 29¢ breakfast in a downtown casino, all he could afford. At this time he was down to a couple of dollars.

While he ate the greasy eggs and drank the bitter coffee, the board lit up with his numbers and he collected $12,500 for a 70¢ ticket. He took the money, left the food to die on the plate, ran across the street to a big poker game, and never looked back. He's a millionaire today.

So keno has done it for a few people, and there's the possibility of a big win if the game is played right and luck strikes. This page will show you how to prepare for the big win.
