Establishes keno as an approved lottery game in Connecticut, defined as a game in which twenty numbers are drawn from a field of eighty numbers using a central computer system with an approved random number generator.

Authorizes use of a rabbit ear or wheel system device employing eighty numbered balls, with players matching the required number of balls to win prizes according to an approved rate card.

Adds keno to the definition of "lottery" under Connecticut General Statutes Section 12-801, making it subject to existing lottery regulations and oversight by the Connecticut Lottery Corporation.

Takes effect immediately upon passage and amends Section 12-801 of the general statutes to incorporate keno into the state's lottery framework.
