I was wondering if the state realizes that when they put the smoking ban for bars in effect that that might have been what caused the keno to decrease. I bartend at a local restrauant and there has been a significant drop in customers since then because most of them that came in drank and played keno. Now they don't want to have to go outside to smoke so they just don't come in as often or stay as long.
