Kino (English spelling)

Japanese: キーノ - きーの(英語表記)keno
Kino (English spelling)

A type of gambling game in the same genre as Lotto and Bingo. It started to become popular in the 1880s and was once played in many countries, but now it is only played in casinos (official gambling halls) in a few countries, such as Las Vegas in the United States and Korea. Players choose their favorite numbers from a keno ticket, which has numbers from 1 to 80 written on it, and submit the ticket along with their bet to a keno counter or keno runner. The number of numbers that can be chosen can be any number, from one to a dozen or so. The upper limit of the number that can be chosen varies depending on the casino, but is usually set at around 12 to 15. The lottery is drawn using 20 numbered ping-pong balls that are sprayed out of a transparent container in sequence, and if the number you choose matches a certain number or more, you will receive a payout. The payout ratio depends on the number of numbers that match the number of numbers you selected in advance.

Japanese:

ロットlottoやビンゴと同じ系統の賭(か)け事の一種。1880年代に流行し始め、一時は多くの国で行われたが、現在はアメリカのラス・ベガス、韓国などわずかな国のカジノ(公認賭博(とばく)場)で行われているにすぎない。参加者は、1から80までの数字が順次に書いてあるキーノ・チケットのなかから好きな数字を選び、賭け金を添えてキーノ・カウンター、またはキーノ・ランナーとよばれる係員に提出する。選べる数字の数は、1個から十数個までなら何個でもかまわない。選べる数の上限はカジノによって異なるが、12個~15個くらいまでに設定されている場合が多い。抽選は透明なコンテナーから順次に吹き出される20個の数字の書いてあるピンポン玉で行われ、選んだ数字と一定以上一致すれば配当金が支払われる。配当倍率は事前に選んだ数字の数と一致した数字の数による。
