Ooh the dangerous world of high stakes keno pool!

Keno pool? Does that even exist? Looks like a bunch of nonsense to me, but boy is she is easy on the eyes.
Was popular when I got to the Carolinas in 91. Gambling game
People actually had their own boards in cases lol. True story
I'd watch Banshee then, you get to see "more" of her if I remember correctly

Interesting, never seen it before.
This movie is hideous, typical pool tropes at their worst, sigh.
It's like someone said, write me a screenplay that will insult pool as much as possible.
Somebody coached he well...her stroke looked legit to me. In so many movies it's too obvious you're watching an actor pretending to play pool.
Early on, a not so good 8 ball break, but after that, not bad at all. Oh yeah, very kind to the eyes. So, which is worse, an actor pretending he or she can play pool, or a pool player pretending he or she can act? Without naming names, we've all seen both.
Agreed about the script....seems to be standard fare in pool movies to portray the game in a bad light. Still, it kept me interested enough to watch it to the end.

I played some in the past but its been a while. Looked for a board in SoCal for a while but never saw one. I gambled while playing but never saw any high stakes keno games.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
But seriously, this video is a gem. It's humorous and campy as all get out. It's just hilariously overblown but the concepts are right. Watch the card players and you'll see some nice cameos.
It's not bad though, I believe it's made to be entertaining for pool players. A guy can't take himself too seriously and enjoy this game.

This pos is as bad as the worst I have ever seen. Sorry I could not hold out to search for a plot but, truth is, I like myself too much. If this is the best you could do, why would you?
And as far a Mataya -- still dumber than a bag of bolts.

Yes, he is hilarious. Problem is that he is being absolutely serious -- playing it as straight as an arrow.
