A few
years ago, some guy won a bunch of money from a Keno machine
that had an RNG that was predictable under certain conditions. I
heard reports of his arrest, but never heard the outcome of the trial.
I believe that it was at the Rio and it was human error. The people running
the Keno game mistakenly shut down the computer each night and when they
restarted each morning, for the first game, the same numbers came up as the
day before. Someone noticed and figured out that it was advantageous to know
in advance which twenty numbers were going to be drawn.
