Restaurants and bars across the state of Ohio and right here in the Valley hoping for a boost in business beginning tomorrow. That's when the Ohio Lottery launches its newest game, Keno.

For months the Ohio Lottery has been installing equipment at bars and restaurants across the state, including about 40 of them right here in the valley.

You may have seen screens like this one popping up in your favorite restaurant or watering hole here in the valley. Well they are part of a major expansion for the Ohio Lottery. Monday morning at 11:04 AM will mark the first drawing for Keno.

"EVERY FOUR MINUTES THERE WILL BE A DRAWING. PICK UP TO 10 NUMBERS, 1-DOLLAR BET, 10 NUMBERS. THEY CAN WIN UP TO 100-THOUSAND DOLLARS."--Tom Housteau Owner Ace's Wild Wings

The machines have been installed in more than 1-thousand bars and restaurants around the state. So how does someone play Keno? It's a rather simple process really.

"THEY HAVE A CARD YOU FILL OUT. YOU FILL OUT THE CARD, HAND IT TO THE BARTENDER OR SERVER, AND THEY'LL RING IT UP FOR YOU. JUST PUT IT IN THE MACHINE."--Tom Housteau Owner Ace's Wild Wings

Then it's just a matter of waiting for the next drawing to see if you're a winner. But this easy game could add up to some big bucks for the Buckeye State. Governor Ted Strickland pushed for Keno here in Ohio, hoping it can fill some of the 730 million dollar hole in the state budget over the next year.

Official predict the game will generate 73 million dollars in new revenue in just the first year. But bar owners just hope the game will bring back some of the people who left when Ohio's smoking ban took effect.

"I THINK IT'S GOING TO REALLY PICK UP THE BUSINESS A LOT. THERE ARE NOT THAT MANY PLACES DOING IT RIGHT NOW. EVERYBODY'S GOING TO WANT GO TRY IT. SO I THINK RIGHT IN THE BEGINNING IT'S REALLY GOING TO GENERATE A LOT OF SALES."--Tom Housteau Owner Ace's Wild Wings

Michigan launched a similar game in 2003, last year the state saw 491-million dollars in sales for the game.

Critics say it's just an expansion of gambling in disguise and it will prey on people who can't afford it. The state sees it as a way to help boost a struggling economy.
