Akron, Ohio -

What is Keno, and how does the game work?

In Keno, a  player bets $1 to $20 and will choose one to 10 numbers. Twenty of 80 numbers are drawn every four minutes. The player wins money for every number matched.

How much can a player win?

Players can win anywhere between $2 to $2 million.

When did the game begin?

The game kicked off Monday, Aug. 4.

Why has Keno been allowed while casino games remain outlawed?

On the Keno machines, players play against each other as opposed to against the machine. Gov.  Ted Strickland outlawed "skill games" such as slot machines last year.

Where is it being played?

The game can be played at any place with a Class D liquor license such as bars, certain restaurants and Veterans of Foreign Wars halls. It will be in nearly 2,000 locations by the end of this year.

How much money will this game make?

It is estimated the game will make $73 million per year.
