And you might get better comps, cash back, mailers, etc. playing live Keno or bingo. That's an important part of your return. But my guess is that they "see" Keno Poker as a VP bet.
So another consideration not mentioned is that you are receiving reduced slot club incentives since Keno Poker will be noted in the system as "video poker" which rewards players at a substantially lower rate than when you play slots. Yet up to 40% of your bet (10 coins out of 25) is being devoted to a random slot-type outcome not dependant on your skilled VP play. I feel the slight bump in EV (if you even find Keno Poker in full-pay) would be more than offset by lost slot club points. Technically you might just be better off by simply playing the non-Keno version of the game while putting that 40% Keno portion of the bet instead into an adjacent slot machine.
