Which came first, Keno or the lottery? I don’t know either, but the lottery isn’t part of DECAGONATHON so we don’t have a page for it. Keno is a great slow down and relax when the tables/slots are kicking your ass game of chance. There was a time when every casino had a Keno room, Keno runners, Keno cologne, KenoKenoKeno! Seriously though, in most casino diners Keno cards were right there on the table and a runner would come around more often than the waitress to see if you wanted to play. Like many casino table games, the employee overhead for Keno is much higher than the electronic version and the live Keno rooms are becoming harder to find. DECAGONATHON appreciates the greatness of live Keno and it will be an official DECAGONATHON game until live Keno’s coffin is nailed shut with 20of20 nails.
