There's a thread before that's named 'ending game' and that came from an Asian country. The mechanics of the game is it will depend on the ending score of a basketball game and that could be an NBA match or your local basketball league.
If the final score is 98-79 then the ending result will be 9-7 (97).
Yes, thats a good betting game from the Philippines but I dont think its popular around asia or its really good. I guess Majhong is the best game that is originated from China and adopted by many countries. I play this game and its really fun and profitable to play this one, i think western countries also know this.
Dont get me wrong but i guess OP just wanted to know gaming games that originated in Asia so ending game will do. I also wanted to add cock fighting that is also a very addicting game here in the Philippines and almost all of the filipino men knows and play this one. I dont think they have similar games like this in other countries.
Cockfighting did not originate in Philippines so I don't think this is in the list.
Despite the fact that cockfighting is so popular in our country, as far as I know it did not originate here. I guess we can include the gamble of kids or sometimes adults with the spiders they caught on mountainsides since I did not heard it in other countries. Another thing is the Kara, or the other gambling games that includes coins in the streets of the Philippines.
