Gaming has some really strange laws and regulations about its own conduct.
- In Keno, the prevailing record is not the collected balls in the tubes, but the punching of the “Keno Punch” ticket, which becomes the master record of the draw, and not the draw itself.
- In some newer variants of Video Poker, after selecting the hold cards and selecting draw, some games will reveal a fiction of what would have been the outcome had a different selection been made. This has no bearing on the actual game, but as a tease/psychological warfare on what could have been. Apparently this is legal as it “doesn’t affect the outcome of the original wager.”
