Chazbean, you have no class. It had to be said, however I doubt you will understand.
Good job !!! I always think of playing some keno progressives, but it looks so booooooring. I just love videopoker, but given the fact that you can hit it big on keno I might throw in a 100 bucks or so next time when I come to Vegas on such a bank.... Congratulations and greetings from Switzerland :)
