Two more outlets of "Keno Quick Panalo" were launched by the PCSO (Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office) in Bacolod City, Philippines on May 27th, 2010.
The Regional Chairman of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes 6 in the Visayas area, Jeanette Oberio, cut the ribbon with the President of the Total Gaming Technologies, Mr. Henri Muzzarelli, at the Keno Quick Panalo outlet of Lydia Reboton, which is located behind El Camino Restaurant, at Araneta and San Sebastian Streets.
Another outlet of the Keno Quick Panalo game near Foodman, located in front of Burgos Market, was also launched with different gaming fans present to celebrate the momentous occasion. The first two outlets of Keno Quick Panalo can be found at the San Sebastian-Mabini Streets and at the Golden Commercial establishment.
Total Gaming Technologies' Chief Operation Officer, Tony Reyes, said that Keno Quick Panalo gives gamers a golden opportunity to take home up to one million pesos every ten minutes and players can immediately see the results of the game from a video monitor. Reyes stated that the game is simple to play and gives players wholesome entertainment with only a minimum wager.
Keno made its debut in the bars and restaurants around the Philippines in March 2004 and was re-launched by the PCSO in July 2008 in its lottery stations around the country.
Reyes said that in Region 6, it was only launched in December 2009. There are fifty-three Keno Quick Panalo stations in the region, seventeen of which are in Negros Occidental. Nine outlets are currently operating in Bacolod City.
Oberio said that the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office hopes to place outlets in every city and municipality in the province. Interested agents are required to invest eleven thousand pesos aside from a surety bond of six thousand pesos annually and to set-up a 23,000 pesos worth of computer set that is payable in a year.
Oberio said that the keno agents are entitled to five percent of gross sales and should pay their cashier in their outlet the minimum wage stated in the law.
