As the new Lord of the Rings series ‘The Rings of Power’ is set for an Amazon September premiere, a Maltese makeup artist’s take on one of the characters took social media by storm.

Galea’s talent was picked up whilst he was involved with the ACM Awards in Las Vegas. They promptly urged him not to post any Rings of Power related content before they reached out to him to ask him to create one of the many designs.

After some tweaking and a lot of creative work, Galea’s design was released to the world and promptly featured on posters shown worldwide. Following strict guidelines, Galea had came up with a design for what is the next massive instalment in the J.R.R Tolkien adaptations. 

Amazon bought the TV rights for The Lord of the Rings for around $250 million in 2017, committing to a five season worth at least $1 billion. This makes it the most expensive television series ever made.

Keno is a classic lottery game, it is simple to play. Here are just a few of the vital facts you should know before getting to grips with the game.

After all bets have been placed, 20 numbers are then drawn randomly using balls from a machine or a random number generator. Players must place bets by choosing numbers that are usually listed between 1 and 80. Players win if their numbers are drawn.

What is the story behind the game?

It is believed that Keno has origins that can be traced back to the Han Dynasty in China over 3,000 years ago. The word Keno comes from French and Latin, roughly translating as five winning numbers.

The world’s first draw was inspired by the “Thousand Character Classic” – a Chinese poem containing 1,000 unique characters each used just once. By taking the first 80 characters of the poem, and carving them into individual woodblocks, a warlord named Cheung Leung came up with a game of chance that forms the foundation of modern-day Keno.

Knowing that you “can’t win if you don’t play,” Han citizens played with such passion that Leung soon solved his dynasty’s money problems. Back then the lucky winner was awarded prizes such as livestock, tools, and other necessities in abundance.

There is also an epic legend that surrounds the inception of Keno. The story has it that the game was responsible for saving a city from falling during a war. It has also been credited with raising funds to build the Great Wall of China.

During the 19th century, the Chinese derivative of the word Keno was “white dove ticket”. This was due to results of the games hosted in the big cities were transferred to smaller villages far away by carrier pigeon.

As the game became more popular in China, it was played using characters on sheets of paper as opposed to numbers. The game finally made the leap from China to the western world when Chinese immigrants travelled across the Pacific Ocean to the US to construct the First Transcontinental Railway.

Keno’s popularity increased rapidly and by 1866 the game was hugely popular across the US in its current form that we recognise today.
