In Spain , La Quiniela is a registered brand managed by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, the entity in charge of managing games of chance .

Latin American pool
The Latin American Quiniela is played in countries such as the Dominican Republic , Uruguay and Argentina and involves betting on the last figures drawn for the lottery 's main prizes .
It involves predicting numbers , either directly (hitting the exact numbers in the correct order) or indirectly (hitting some, regardless of the order). These are chosen from a predefined range, and the draw is carried out according to the rules established by each country, which can vary significantly from one country to another. In the Argentine case, for example, the money awarded by the pool depends on the number of correct guesses by the bettor.
Generally, twenty four-digit numbers are drawn through five rolls: the first four express the unit (the thousand, the hundred, the ten and the one), while the fifth indicates the location in the list of prizes. The pool rewards the bettor according to their successes, taking into account the numbers and location.
In some Latin American countries, the pool may also include additional elements , such as associating numbers with certain events or situations in everyday life. It is important to note that the rules, prizes and playing methods of the pool may vary in each Latin American country, so it is advisable to consult the specific regulations of each place.
The amount of money for the winner varies according to the number of correct answers.
ball game
Quiniela is a ball game commonly played in Spain and some Latin American countries . It is a traditional and popular game that involves five people. It is played on a rectangular court divided into two halves. Each team is made up of two players and a neutral referee. The objective is to score points by throwing a hard ball against a front wall so that it bounces towards the opposite field and is difficult for the other team to return.
Players position themselves strategically on the court to return the ball and prevent the opposing team from scoring points. Different techniques can be used to throw and receive the ball, such as the lob, the rebound and the hook , among others. The score in the pool is counted in "points": one is scored when the ball bounces into the opponent's field and cannot be returned correctly. The team that reaches the maximum level determined wins.
It is important to mention that the rules may vary slightly depending on the region where the pool is played. Some versions may include additional rules , restrictions on rolls, or differences in the score required to win. In any case, the pool is an exciting ball game that combines skill, strategy and agility. It's a fun way to pass the time and enjoy the friendly competition between players.
