WHAT DOES KENO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Keno

Keno /kiːnoʊ/ is a lottery-like gambling game often played at modern casinos, and is also offered as a game in some state lotteries. A traditional live casino keno game uses a circular glass enclosure called a "bubble" containing 80 balls which determine the ball draw result. Each ball is imprinted with a number 1 through 80. During the ball draw, a blower pushes air into the bubble and mixes the balls. A "caller" presses a lever opening a tube, where the balls lift one at a time into a "V" shaped tube called the "rabbit ears". The caller and a "verifier" record each of 20 balls drawn, and the computerized keno system calculates all wagers based on the numbers drawn. Players wager by marking an "S" over the "spot" choices on a blank keno ticket form with 80 numbered selection boxes. After all players successfully place their wagers, the casino draws 20 balls at random. Some casinos automatically call the ball draw at preset timed intervals regardless of whether or not players are waiting to place a wager. Each casino sets its own series of pay scale choices called "paytables".
