My reasoning is that you would make that up on volume, everybody in the bars would be playing it, you could advertise the Hell out of that 95% return. If you ask me, I say that you have a Keno game that returns in the neighborhood of 95%. Here's something crazy about Ohio's game, you can bet up to $10/card, up to 10 combinations on a single card and then have a card that is good for up to 10 drawings, which would be a $1,000 ticket!!! There's also broadcasting, in that regard, as many of the bars (and some other locations) will have TV's that display the results. I'd have to look, but I think Ohio's may be run on completely separate machines.

I'm actually surprised that these games pay as high as 50% (like other lotto games) because there would be some additional bandwidth/server/distribution costs you would have to run something like this that you don't necessarily experience with something like Pick-Three or Powerball because the lotto machines are already in place. It sounds like this game is even worse than live keno.Īlmost by necessity, Ohio has one, too, that draws every x minutes and the return is not pretty, either. That's funny the two spot is usually the worst game.
