Topic: Is your local game includes in online casino ? - page 3. (Read 433 times)

It seems to me that local games common in a particular area are traditional, and sometimes unique for a given region, and it is unlikely that they will be included in online gambling, where they are mainly interested in attracting users based on the interest of players in the most popular gambling games in the world.

If a provider is interested in turning a traditional game into a gambling game and successfully introduces it to the public, this could be included in the casino platform. But it won't be easy because maybe only some people will know how to play this traditional game. Maybe it will make some people who miss traditional games will thank gambling providers for adding traditional games to the gambling platform. But other people will think of it like any other gambling game, although some people will be curious about this traditional game.

I think there is a limit to which games can and cannot be transformed into a gambling version for casinos. For example, you cannot make chess into a gambling game. The reason is very simple. It is a game which can be algorithmically exploited by simple code bots. Thats why computers will beat even the best master chess players in the world. The game obviously needs a probabilistic nature to it. Otherwise how would it be gambling?

Casinos are probably aware of this and are very wary of which games they do and do not introduce to us. 

Me too, used to play this when I was a kid but we don't use seeds there, we used shells of small snails called "sigay".

If it will be injected as a gambling game, it might work. The only downside is waiting for the other player which could sometimes be boring if it won't click with gamblers. If they will use bots instead, then I won't agree with the game, I'd rather pick another than play it against the system which would probably have a higher chance to win because of its mathematical capability.
This type of game should only be played by real players.

I don't think such a game can be a good game for gambling.  But the op's picture suggests that the game is played so happily and popularly in his country that it may have evolved into gambling. Anyway, watching this reminded me of my childhood and memories of this game.  Although it was not a very popular game in my country.  Only kids used to play this game but now I don't see any trend of this game in my country

If I’m not mistaken this game is same with bantumi game on classic nokia phones before. I believe board games and other local leisure game is not possible with gambling since this is skill based and not based on luck. You can dominate your opponent or enemy if you are good on simulation with this kind of games.

I think only local gambling games is possible to integrate in the casino. The only local gambling game that I saw in casino was Cara Y Cruz on Bitsler before and the rest can be played only on the appstore and not through the casino.

We have a dedicated platform for our local games, although some of the casinos are starting to embed some local games in to their platforms (although with a mixed of modern-day elements, of course). Mostly online casinos are the ones featuring the local games here from where I'm at, as it's easy to implement and because some local games are prone to rigging when it comes to real-life platforms (physical alterations on the board, minor tweaks on the weight of the die etc).

We also have similar game in my country but has different call and Mostly this has been played in Wake when a family member or friend passed away.


We love to play this  from night till Dawn specially when we are still young and active , But nowadays ? for years that I never entertained this game.

But what I find interesting that in your Place this has been used to Betting ? we should do this here also lol.

Holy moly, I know that game you posted here but totally forgot about the name and how it is played. It brought back quite a few memories seeing it again. My game must still be in the basement at my parents. I am going to dig it up on christmas. My aunt lived in Africa for many years and used to bring me back local games as gifts from there whenever she came home for christmas. I used to play it with here when I was little, unfortunately she died very young and after that we stopped playing it. Haven't seen the game since then anywhere again, would be quite funny to see it in a casino.



In my country we don't have many popular games that are not from abroad. Most of our board games come from the USA. Maybe the most famous one we have here is Settlers of Catan, but it's quite a long came and wouldn't really work in a casino. There are some competitive gatherings where people play against each other for some smaller prices. It is also mostly younger people playing it and too slow pathed for people to make bets on it. The most famous card game in my country is Skat, my grandfather used to love the game and went on a lot of tournaments. There wasn't much money involved in the tournaments though, it was mostly for fun. The game is not popular enough outside of Germany unfortunately to make it into a casino. It's quite hard to find a game where everybody already knows the rules, or it's easy enough for people to pick up the rules quickly.

I played something similar with chess figures, only with pawns. 8 pawns on one side vs 1 pawn on the other, with the same objective, this 8 must trap that 1. As someone who played this game a lot, there are tricks to capture that 1 pawn... But your game has 14 dogs, how possible is it for Jaguar to win?

As always, these games are great, but PvP games are not so attractive in the gambling world, I guess it's because it's hard to make a fair PvP game...  we even had a few tries to organize some PvP games here on the forum and bet against each other, but nothing happened from that, ever! So I doubt that we will see something more, maybe one day in the metaverse.

I have seen such games when I was a child and we played such games by digging holes in the ground.  Seeing this reminded me of my childhood.  But nowadays neither children nor adults are seen playing this game.  In short, this game has almost disappeared from our country . Although this is a very simple game, I enjoyed this game a lot as a kid and kept it in the list as a entertainment games

It is the first time I see such a game and I didn't even know something like that existed.I also am not very familiar nor interested with the local games of the country where I live in because the only type of game I like are simple ones like sport betting and slot machines.

I agree though that these local games from different cultures would enrich the online casino offerings if some casino take the time and effort to collect different unique games from different cultures.

It's also great to know that regardless of how people try to divide us, there are so many things that link us together. I just observed that this Ayo game exists on many continents of the world. The name and rules might be different but the design and style of the game seem the same.

In my location, the ayo game is called Ncho and it is widely played among both adults and children. As a young lad a long time ago we don't necessarily need to play on carved wood, digging small holes in muddy soil was enough for us to start, playing and enjoying our game. I think I have seen this game online and it is called Soduko, but I have never seen It in any casino. A casino might include the game in the nearest future because it is very popular.

Local games are rarely included in casinos, they are usually filled with the games that are commonly run in mainstream sports channels and are well known globally. Instead if you are into gambling on local games, this can be done inside the location by a bookie - or in other other words physically. Again local laws on gambling will start to be applicable here. A good example is how the hen-fighting games happen.

I would defenitely feel proud to see local games getting included in casinos, this will drive the people playing on the casino and bring in the locals. It might also motivate the indigenous people to continue these games as traditions and that is one thing we must all strive to keep up.

This game did not start as a board game, I remember then as kids, that we  usually dug holes into the ground and used the seeds from palm kernels to play this game. Our fingers and palms always got dirty from digging and playing, and it took some time to get set for the game from digging and gathering the seeds to play the game with, but it was a fun game. We couldn't play when it rained because the holes are dug on the ground, we couldn't play in the evenings and night as well as the game could not be played indoors, anytime we wanted to play, new holes had to be dug and we had to play only at convenient times in the day. In a bid to navigate all that, I guess it is were the idea to make the game into a board game originated. Very happy seeing our very old local game discussed here.

   - In this day and age, online casino has become trending where most of the social media influencers are hired as endorsers of their online casino, but I have not seen any crypto gambling promoted by well-known social media influencers. , if there are only a few of them.

Now, the sungka that you are talking about seems to be a little bit different, now if it is used for gambling I think it will not be a good strategy to attract many gamblers in my opinion, because it is still more thrilling to play other games like of Poker, blackjack and more.

In my place it's called congklak and it's only played by women and children, it's an interesting game because we can interact, so I think it's a little impossible to see that game will be in an online casino, maybe if someone will develop the algorithm it so that this game is not PvP but PvH, but it will be difficult to win because players are difficult to beat the house.

Nope, local game will just attract people who came from that's country only, usually the other people wouldn't interested since they think it's a weird game or don't have any experience to play it. So it's make sense how almost all casinos only add international games like slots, sports bookie, live casino and the other popular luck based games. If I want to gamble and playing my local game, it's better for me to play it with my friends.

Yes, this is similar to Philippines sungka and we have played it when I was a child back in the days. It's fun and enjoyable but I doubt that casino's can simply include in their platform because they don't know if there are players obviously.

So probably it will continue to be just local and again past from generation to generation and it shouldn't be included in a gambling platform. Let it be just be preserved.

It's very rare for a local game to be included in a casino that uses game providers like Evolution should be added by game providers to for it be added to casinos and game providers prefer to only install games, gamblers are most familiar with but if there are local games that gain popularity and there is a huge request from casino operators then they will likely add it, only dedicated casino for that game can we see a local game and they usually for local gamblers.
