Poker Keno is a simple, poker-based game available at the Sky Vegas Internet casino. The player makes a bet and is dealt seven cards, Texas Hold 'Em style. He wins if he has at least a pair of jacks. I'm not sure what it has to do with keno, other than perhaps because there is no actual skill required. It's entirely a game of luck.

The optimal bet size is £2, because you qualify for the jackpot, while minimizing your expected loss in the base game. At a £2 bet, the return goes up by 1.92% for every £100,000 in the meter. The break-even point (exactly zero house edge) is at a meter of £308,463.07 for £2 bet.
