      <description><![CDATA[I've noticed the new Keno game displays as well.  In some ways I like them, they are easier to see farther away from the montiors.  But yes the colors are kinda loud.  My buddy and I use to play Keno several times a week and we gave it up for 2006.  We still watch, just don't spend the money to play.  Since we each had a set of numbers we always played, we've been watching and there has only been one occassion out of the last 7 months where we would have walked away a winner for the day - we are...

      <description><![CDATA[The new keno board is ugly. It's hard to keep up with. The colors are so bold it's like looking at abstract art. The payout is worse. I bet the next fiscal year will top 1.5 billion if Marylander don't stop giving their money away. This game is so fixed. We are all making somebody rich. And it  ain't us, (your ordinary keno player).<br /><br />I think I'll step back and re-examine my playing habits with the Maryland State Lottery. It gets quit boring when all you do is lose.<br /><br />litebets]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Since most of it never gets to the players I can see why they topped the margin. The payouts are miniscule.<br /><br />wake up Maryland Lottery and start appreciating your players who fund your state run projects]]></description>
