Cartoonist Bob Englehart On Keno; Gambling Game Is Among Most Controversial Issues At State Capitol

Is it a lottery game or a casino game?

A judge might one day decide whether keno becomes legal across Connecticut. Judges have ruled different ways across the country, and some would say it’s a roll of the dice.

Gov. M. Jodi Rell is pushing for legalization of keno in 600 to 1,000 bars, restaurants and taverns – saying it is clearly a lottery game. The Indian tribes that run the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods casinos say it’s a casino game.
