One more observation & question relating to the "Every Light Was On" book I'm reading--

When keno games first started, the keno writers would use a brush and ink to mark your keno slip, as a tradition related to the Chinese-inspired game. These once common brush-marked games have been replaced by computers in 99+% of keno parlors. However, one interviewee in the book remarks that the Cal-Neva in Reno still uses brushes to mark their games (as of 1997, when the interview was conducted).

Question for any Reno chippers (Larry H. or others):

Does the Cal-Neva still use brushes today, or have they changed to computers in the last 2 years??

Does anyone know of other casinos that still use brushes?

Seems to be a dying art. Perhaps the brushes, inkwells, and other such items might be a casino collectible to pick up somewhere. Even a brush-marked ticket will be (or already is) an obsolete collectible.
