the State House as lawmakers look to ways to raise more state revenue without raising taxes.
“This session is all about money,” said Rep. Stacy Fitts, R-Pittsfield, a member of the Legislature’s Legal Affairs and Veterans Services committee, the panel with oversight of gambling legislation. “If we can find something that brings in moremoney, it will be considered.”
Lottery Director Dan Gwadosky presented them with options concerning implementation of keno games in the state. keno is an online game that would work much like Powerball and Megabucks, but the drawing of winning numbers occurs every 10 minutes or so, instead of a couple of times a week like the existing online games.
“The amount a person can win depends on how much has been wagered,” Gwadosky said. “And the target audience is a bit different.”
