Q: As with most gambling, it is always important to know how to play the game. Read up on the basic rules and variations. Then find a place to play for free to get the hang of the game before you start betting money. You will benefit from a little preparation and practice play. Keno pays out based on percentages, so the ultimate goal is to get all of the numbers you chose, although this is an unlikely outcome. Keno is a fast paced game, and typically new games start every few minutes. Part of winning is staying in the game for multiple rounds and not giving up if you don't win right at the start. The game uses the numbers 1-80. You choose up to 20 of the numbers and mark them on your card. Many games will require you to choose at least four numbers. Some games may also have a specific minimum bet you must place. On a video machine, you'll select these numbers and they will be locked in. For live games, you may need to submit the card to the Keno writer for the card to be officially in play. There is a person who randomly chooses the "spot" numbers, which are the ones that will payout each round of the game. These are usually balls with numbers on them, possibly drawn from a tumbler cage. Keno pays on a percentage table, so the more numbers you get out of what you chose, the more you win. In video Keno, your payout will register automatically, and in live games you'll need to show your card to the game administrator. For example, you might pick five numbers in a game. In most cases, to win money, you'd need to hit on three of those numbers. Then you would get more money for four out of five hits and a large payout for five out of five hits. Winnings from round to round tend to be pretty small, or non-existent, but it is possible to get a large payout on a small investment.
A: Learn the rules before you start playing. Choose numbers and place a wager. Check your numbers and pick up your payout.

Q: Start at the bottom left corner of the paper and roll it towards the upper right corner. Stop when you reach past the widest point of the paper. To avoid making the paper too soggy, apply the glue in a thin layer with a brush. At this point, you can also add a core to your wand. Here are some options: Phoenix feather: red, orange, or yellow feather. Dragon heartstring: piece of red yarn. Unicorn hair: silver or iridescent thread or tinsel. This can take 20 to 30 minutes. If you do not wish to hold your wand for that long, you can secure it with some string or twist ties. The glue must be dry before you move on. The tightly-rolled paper is probably very pointy at both ends. Use a pair of scissors or a craft knife to trim off both of the pointy ends. You will want to trim off one end more than the other. This will make the end wider, suitable for the base of your wand. This will seal the tube further, and prevent it from unraveling. For an extra touch, hot glue a small fancy bead or button to the bottom of your wand. Make sure that the bead or button is the same width as your wand; it shouldn't go past the edges. You can use the hot glue to build up a handle for your wand; they are typically the length of your finger. You can also use the glue gun to draw swirly designs on the rest of the wand. If you'd like, you can hot glue fancy beads or buttons to the handle to make fancy designs. You want using paint primer, gesso, or even decoupage glue (such as Mod Podge). Allow the primer to dry before continuing. This will prevent the paper from becoming too soggy while you paint it. If it becomes soggy, it can fall apart. Most wands will be some shade of brown, but there are wands in the movies that are also black or white. You can paint your wand a solid color, or different shades of the same color. For example, you could paint your wand brown, and add some lighter and darker brown streaks to it to make it look more like wood. This will make the designs you drew stand out more. Take a color that's slightly darker than the one you used, and apply it with a paintbrush or q-tip to all of the nooks and crannies in your design. Next, take a lighter color, and apply some highlights to all of the raised edges. If your wand is black, you only need the highlights. If your wand is white, you only need the shadows. This is not completely necessary, but it will help your wand last a little longer. Go to a well-ventilated area, and set the wand down on a sheet of newspaper. Spray the wand with a clear, acrylic sealer and let it dry. Turn the wand over and spray the other side as well. Repeat this step if necessary. You can use a matte, satin, or glossy finish.
A: Start to roll a sheet of paper into a thin, tight stick. Apply some liquid glue on the last third of the paper. Finish rolling the paper and hold it until the glue dries. Trim the ends off. Apply some hot glue to both ends of the wand. Use hot glue to draw designs on your wand. Seal the wand with some primer. Paint the wand a base color using acrylic paint. Add some weathering and let the wand dry. Seal the wand, if desired.

Q: This is more of a coconut shortbread-type cookie. Because there is no egg in this recipe, the dough may seem a bit more crumbly. If your dough is too dry and crumbly after beating the ingredients together, add 1 to 2 tablespoons cream or soft butter. Add them in 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough looks wet and sticks together. It's also important to measure out all the ingredients properly. Use metal or plastic measuring cups for the dry ingredients. Do not tap or shake the cup when measuring. Instead, level off any excess amount by running a straight edge knife across the top of the cup. To prepare the butter for this recipe, make sure it is softened but not melted. If possible, let the butter sit at room temperature 30-45 minutes before you plan to make the cookie dough. If you are using an electric mixer to beat together the ingredients, use the mixer bowl. If you are beating the ingredients together by hand, use a regular mixing bowl. Pour 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups sugar, 2 cups butter, softened, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon vanilla into the mixing bowl. Beat the ingredients at low speed until well mixed. Scrape the sides of the bowl often with a spatula. Make sure the coconut flakes are the sweetened kind to add the right amount of sweetness to these cookies. Shape each half into a 12 x 2 inch log. Refrigerate both logs for at least 2 hours to firm up the dough. Then, take out the logs and place them on a clean work surface. Place each slice 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. This recipe should make about 8 dozen cookies. If you want to make less than 8 dozen cookies in one sitting, halve the recipe. The edges should be lightly golden and brown. Then, place the cookies on a cooling rack. Enjoy your traditional Scandinavian coconut cookies!
A:
Keep in mind this recipe does not use any eggs. Take out a mixer bowl or a large mixing bowl. Combine all the ingredients, except the flaked coconut. Stir in 1 cup flaked coconut with a spatula or wooden spoon. Divide the dough in half with a knife. Wrap each log in plastic wrap. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a knife to cut the logs into inch slices. Bake the cookies for 10-14 minutes. Cool them for about a minute on the cookie sheet.
