Veikkaus is the Finnish national betting agency and they launched a new personal Keno draw in the Internet. So we created an animated hostess to present the whole show - she’s called “Lady Keno”.
Indeed, she’s not looking for stardom, simply because she’s above those kind of things (just like running or cleaning, Lady Keno wouldn’t stoop that low). She’s gorgeous and confident, but has a sense of cosmic justice. She believes in the law of karma. Her humor is dark and she delivers her lines sarcastically and laconically. She hates people who are chirpy or fake, or – worse – both. She can’t be bothered to sympathise with the people who lose in the game. To be honest: she’s really not that interested in other people all together. It’s not uncommon for Lady Keno to help out the universe (or herself for that matter) when karma isn’t working quickly enough. She might resort to mischief, and she’s quite resourceful and inventive in her ways. Lady Keno is smart, street-smart and worldly. She has opinions, but isn’t always bothered to tell people about them. She doesn’t need to prove herself to you or to anyone.
All in all, Lady Keno is a large project that involved months of development and testing together with talented people from Great Apes, Palmu and PHS.
