What does a video lottery mean? Does it mean that they are going to place videos on every lottery retailer out there, or that the drawing is going to be done on video and not on TV...
Thanks a lot...
Basically it's a Keno game that has a drawing every 4 or 5 minutes and many states already have them. The plan is to put them into sports bars and restaurants that already have lottery terminals or have enough traffic to support the game. Sports bars have a large number of monitors that show a variety of sporting events and they will probably replace the badminton channel with the Keno drawings.
Some stores have areas where people can play scratch-offs and they might add Keno, but I doubt grocery and convenient stores or gas stations will have them.
Casinos have video keno machines that are similar to video poker machines where the results only affect the player. The Ohio game will be like the Keno games that some casinos offer with a deflated payoff structure.
