Thanks for watching! Kiitos katsomisesta!
In Finland you can bet in almost every grocery store, R-kioski or gas station. Gambling is operated by veikkaus which is owned by the state and it has a monopoly on gambling in Finland. It also runs those Casinos.
Yep, All Betting related activities are handled by Veikkaus Oy, witch is the Government owned monopoly on all forms of betting, lottery, and slot machines.
And the money Veikkaus makes is mainly used to common good.
I suspect that at least a lot if not most of the sports betting happens online nowadays. You can do it in shops and wherever as well, but how many actually fill out those paper betting slips anymore?
@@Azurall47 so the "house" is the government.. interesting. The "house" always wins!
@@hellionfi that really never happened here in the States - only in Vegas. Now most states have legalized gambling.
2:18 That R-kioski was unfortunately closed three years ago.
12:11 The 'lily' on the bus tells that it was in Turku.
13:20 Pippurimylly = pepper mill
13:26 If pronounced like that it becomes 'puupuu' which means 'tree tree' :)
the second one looked oddly familiar and the I realized that it's my hometown
Same here! First street could have been anywhere but then it started to get too familiar with the dentist office and all
The Scandic Hotel Grand Central does not have any signs on the building because the railway station building is so heavily historically protected that they cannot install any. Even as a Finn I had trouble finding it when visiting the first time and I asked them why are the entrance is so damn hard to find. They are not even allowed to put a plaque on the door. 😅
This is actually quite interesting. By using the streetview and moving around in the area, you can see the photos from 2021 show the hotel with a sign on the roof. Not a flashy sign, but there's there. However, photos from 2019 and 2020 are missing the sign. I've never visited that hotel, so I wouldn't have paid any attention to it personally.
@@herrakaarme I visited it at June 2022 and then there were no signs anywhere at all. That is also when they told me about not being allowed to put any up on the building. The hotel is only few years old so probably the Finnish Heritage Agency (Museovirasto) has tightened the noose or something. 🤔
@@Aquelll That's even more interesting! I wonder if they installed the sign, but were told to take it down immediately. Crazy.
@@herrakaarme What annoys me is that I was just in Helsinki today and could have checked what the situation is now. But I watched the video after returning home. Annoying. 😅
You mentioned my St1 map. Some time ago I noticed that there are maps for ABC, Neste and SEO stations of Finland, but St1 and Shell didn't exist, so I created them. "Ravintola Pippurimylly" is "Restaurant Peppermill". There are lots of "pupus" everywhere in Finland :)
This wasn't my day, I shouldn't play challenges in hangover after a cruise to Estonia :D :D
The scenario author really raised the difficulty with those nondescript suburb locations.
Not pronounced puupuu, but pupu. Short and sweet.
Wife saw 8 yesterday evening when walking the dog.
Greetings From Finland!
Those voting ads (or horror galleries as we usually call them) where all the parties have all their candidates shown are facilitated by the city or municipality and all parties have their spot there. Candidates also have their own ads on roadside, side of buses, newspapers, TV and where you can generally advertise. But nobody have any ads on their personal lawn. People would think you had lost your mind if you did that. Also campaign contributions and campaign budgets are heavily regulated and limited to keep the elections fair for all candidates.
Yep RAX is a chain pizza buffet restaurant, is it any good? well...any buffet style pizza place is a bit lower quality to begin with so.. i would give it maybe 5/10 at best.
Seems they haven't improved, years ago when I ate there, their pizzas were very greasy.
This is the RAX of the US from years ago: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rax_Roast_Beef - and this was probably at 5/10 as well
Keskusta ---)) go towards that word since it is the city center or a village center...
Rax is indeed a chain and the pizza is... not great. lol
Hyvä video :)
Kiitos!
Scene 3/5 in Mäntymäki in Turku: a lot of buildings demolished and taller ones built instead.
Fall, autumn - syksy 👍
I would already get 5000 points from the Helsinki one in under ten seconds, so I was wondering what took you so long to figure out the place, when you were literally next to the railway station the whole time.😂
Those suburban rounds were a bit tricky not gonna lie. Tho on the Turku round there was minibus or some sort of van that had the text Turku on it's side, right outside of that small stretch of dirt road. I only noticed it on my second pass when I was rechecking the road names. Could've made it much faster, if I had noticed it before. Managed to get perfect score still. I prefer to use "autumn" instead of "fall", when talking about the season in English. Less confusion when there's not that second meaning, and autumn is kinda nice word to say. In Finnish the word is "syksy". The ST1 game could be fun.
There are 3 "real" casinos in Finland if I'm not mistaken, all controlled by Veikkaus monopoly like someone below already said. There used to be blackjack tables and an occasional roulette table in many night clubs before covid, but seems to me those are all pulled away now. Hardly a casino experience, but I enjoyed them.
Every time somebody mentions the word "pupu" it just reminds me of this news video "Anni's favourite animal is the bunny" where the reporter is interviewing the little girl at the animal yard. "A: My favourite animal is the bunny - R: Have you petted the bunny? - A: No - R: Have you been to see the bunnies? - A: No - R: Are you going to go? - A: No - R: Aha...". She is the most Finnish kid I have ever seen. 😅 th-cam.com/video/clQkI3M_EBE/w-d-xo.html
there is also a big pupu population in helsinki :) last summer i counted something like 14 during 30 minute walk! also because of pupus there are also foxes and owls and even raccoon dogs almost in the city center!
Wow - interesting. Any bears make it that far south or near city centers?
@@alloverthemap23 Bears can be found pretty much all over the country (except Åland). However, the populations have a higher density in northern and especially eastern Finland. I don't recall there being any sightings in Helsinki area in recent years but they are seen in urban areas every now and then. I don't know if they still do it but I remember watching tv as a kid and a red warning message would pop up at top of the screen warning that a bear had been spotted in a town somewhere. We've had a wolverine and a wolf in Helsinki in the last few years though
yep im from finland
Yup, I grew up (for about a decade) within 1km from the 2nd round location, and couldn't have said that it was from around there. So that was a pretty tricky round. And btw: it's a double-i (one capital, one lowercase) in the beginning of "Iisalmi". No "I-L".
I've been saying it wrong the entire time and someone finally told me! So, the 2nd round didn't look familiar to you?
@@alloverthemap23 I never had much friends living in or any business to that part of the city, so it looked just like a generic neighborhood - could've been from pretty much anywhere. I was kinda kicking myself for not knowing it when the map showed the results, though. 🙂
Great video. To pronounce "Ä" you say the A in the word "Act", or "And".
Man, Cat, Sad, Bad, Glad (But if you are familiar with Portal, Glados in with A in that).
Rax is not very good, but very expensive nowdays.
The Finnish word for autumn/fall is "syksy". English is not an official language here, so there's no standard on whether British or American or some other variant would be used. My personal preference is to try to minimize ambiguity, so I prefer autumn over fall, vacuum cleaner over hoover, gasoline over gas/petrol etc.
