Jai-alai
Jai alai (: ) is a sport involving bouncing a ball off a walled-in space by accelerating it to high speeds with a hand-held wicker ''cesta''. It is a variation of Basque pelota. The term ''jai alai'', coined by Serafin Baroja in 1875, is also often loosely applied to the fronton (the open-walled playing area) where matches take place. The game, whose name means "merry festival" in Basque, is called ''cesta-punta'' ("basket tip") in the Basque Country. The sport is played worldwide, but especially in Spain, France, and in various Latin American countries. Rules and customs The court for jai alai consists of walls on the front, back and left, and the floor between them. If the ball (called a ''pelota'' in Spanish, ''pilota'' in Standard Basque) touches the floor outside these walls, it is considered out of bounds. Similarly, there is also a border on the lower of the front wall that is also out of bounds. The ceiling on the court is usually very high, so the ball has a more p ...

Jueteng
Jueteng () is a numbers game played in the Philippines. First reported in the late 1800s while the Philippines was under Spanish rule, it was made illegal in 1907 after the United States occupied the Philippines. Despite this, and successive subsequent crackdowns, the game remains popular throughout Luzon, while similar games exist in the rest of the Philippines. The game is popular among many Filipinos, especially in poorer communities. Due to a low buy-in and the prospect of a relatively lucrative payout, it is appealing and often considered harmless fun. Individuals who collect bets, known as ''kubrador'',In the Tagalog language, words themselves do not change when made plural, but the use of ''mga'' before the word pluralizes it. So, depending on context, ''kubrador'' can be either singular or plural. See also: Tagalog grammar; ; Tagalog language § ''ng'' and ''mga''. are often considered trusted members of local communities.
