jueteng
Jueteng (pronounced ''hwe-teng'') is an illegal numbers game played in the Philippines. Jueteng originated from China and means "flower" (''jue'') and "bet" (''teng''). Although illegal, it is a widely popular game with participation that crosses most, if not all social and economic boundaries. With long odds and no limits on minimum or maximum bets, the lure of quick riches through a lucrative payout is by far its strongest appeal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Jueteng is Embedded in Local Culture )〕
==History==
The Spanish government sponsored gambling as a franchise of the governor-general in Manila.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Lottery/jueteng since 1893 )〕 It was introduced by Spanish colonizers, dating back to the 1800s. Tickets were even sold in ferries or boats to the Visayas and Mindanao.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Yes to Jueteng! )〕 During the bulk of the 20th century, jueteng operations were primarily conducted and financed by Chinese migrants, until the locals ultimately took over.
