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.

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).

wake up Maryland Lottery and start appreciating your players who fund your state run projects
