About 4 years ago (maybe longer) Keno became legalized in bars and restaurants in my home state (Michigan).

I can't beleive how many people play this game. The odds are teribbile.

I am all about legalized gambling but just a little surprised in the popularity of this "state" sponsored game.

Was wondering how many other states have this in their bars and restaurants?

They have it here in Massachusetts at a lot of bars. Like others have said, the odds are terrible. Basically, you have to plan on losing half of your money right off the top. And usually most of the other half also.

I believe it goes from 7:30 AM to 1:45 AM Ice. Figured it must do well on your side of the state. I see very few play it here as we can get to the Indiana casinos in a half hour.

Had it in Oregon for years. Have yet to try it. Cracks me up seeing some fool at the convenience store sitting around playing keno and talking to the clerk with his 64oz pepsi and slim jim.

Oregon budget is completely addicted to gambling revenue. It's so bad, they recently added "line games." That's code for slot machines. Pathetic.
