Good to know that there are still some out there who have a sense of humor, and don't take themselves too serious. I used meddle in that line, because it is part of the topic under discussion. Glad you got it. The word means : Interfere in or busy oneself unduly with something that is not one's concern. That could be put to great use as of late...if only.

Off the subject: Attempting to find out who the 2nd prize winners are , could be defined as meddling BD.

My two cents worth:

I am happy that the keno drawings in NJ are being cut back to twice a day. That will make it easier to beat. One can now really use websites like Kenostat and makenodata and not have to try to keep up every 4 or 5 minutes and try to figure things out on the fly. I wish Mass lottery would do the same.

The website(s) are very vague. It mentioned Caesars and we did go over there and didn't see--then again only stayed in the basement level, but I think it is gone.

Off the subject---two five # Megamillions winners in New Jersey last night sans Megaplier. Wonder if Todd was one of them

Apparently Harrah's is the only casino with live Keno which makes the idea of limiting the lottery keno even worse.

Harrah's website said they are one of two casinos that offer Keno. We didn't make it to Harrahs; Borgata was too fabulous, flying us up on a private jet (22 of us) and free hotel/no resort fees. So I don't know if it was live Keno or not.

For years the parking lots at casinos in Michigan, Indiana, PA, and West Virginia were filled with Ohio license plates until Ohio passed a bill allowing casino gambling. The horse racing people were against it so a compromise made putting slot machines at race tracks and gave a portion of the revenue to the horse racing industry. The West Virginia Lottery partnered with that states horse racing industry by putting slot machines at horse and dog racing tracks. It was a win-win for both.

Yes alter the lottery so it does not take in alot of money because it was not bringing in the money you promised it would. Might as well scrap it since you enviably will citing lower then expected money being brought in.

New Jersey lawmakers on Thursday considered overhauling a new keno-style lottery game that the bill's sponsor worries will draw business away from Atlantic City's casinos.

The Democrat-led Assembly gaming committee heard testimony on legislation that would essentially gut how Quick Draw is played, reducing its drawings from every five minutes to just twice daily.

The legislation comes about six months after the lottery, which has struggled to meet revenue projections in recent years, unvei... [ More ]
