Keno procedures changed

Keno players may access keno tickets directly from a machine rather than relying on an attendant under a bill passed May 20.

LB490, introduced by Wilber Sen. Russ Karpisek, amends state law prohibiting player access and activation from a machine. The bill deletes access from the prohibition and defines activation as the selection of winning numbers.

Senators approved LB490 on a 44-0 vote.
