According to HartfordBusiness.com, Connecticut plans to have 1,000 keno vendors starting in January 2014. The plan is to add keno to 400 existing convenience stores and other lottery vendors and bring in 600 new businesses for keno, mostly bars and restaurants.
Keno is a game of chance (similar to bingo) where players select numbers (typically 10 to 15) and try to match them with numbers (typically 20) randomly generated from a field of one through 80.
The state budget has keno adding $3.8 million in revenue this fiscal year and $27 million in FY 15.
