Why is it masculine?
Jogo is masculine because it derives from Latin "iocum" (a neuter noun meaning jest or game), and Portuguese inherited the masculine gender from its Latin ancestor. Like many Portuguese nouns ending in "-o," it retained the masculine gender marker that descended from Latin's "-um" neuter ending, which evolved into the "-o" masculine form in Romance languages.
