Honestly, I don't know any known online casino from my country or maybe I am not just aware but I'm still comfortable using cryptocurrency based casino online rather than a casino from my country not that I don't trust them but I am unsure which one is legitimate and legal and which are not so to be safe I would rather use known gambling sites such as Stake and Bitsler rather than unknown online casino from my country.

I doubt that the casino in my country do offer local games but I know some sites that only offer games like cockfighting.

Can this game be included in a casino platform ? Do you have a local game in your country and what is the name ? How will you feel if you see it in an online casino,will you be happy to play it or will prefer playing something new ?

Ayo is equally a popular game on Google play store with over a million downloads, and one that I love to play most times when I'm less busy doing nothing at home through my smartphone. So if I'm opportune to come across this game on a casino, I will be very glad doing what I'm known best for, as Ayo will be a very lovely game to be hosted on a gambling casino. So I'm looking forward to seeing it in near future.


Although I have experience playing such games as a child, I have never experienced playing through mobile apps.  But seeing your addiction has given me some interest to play.  So I'm thinking I'll download it today and see if it can give me that childhood fun.  Because now this game is almost extinct in my country so I can't find anyone else to play this game physically . But it is more interesting if this game is added to crypto  casino sites

Here at the online casino in the cryptocurrency gambling industry, our local game is not included in this matter. But in other online gambling apps that are not here in cryptocurrency, some of our local gambling games are included in online casinos that can be downloaded in mobile apps.

Some of these games that can be found in the online casino that can be seen in the apps play store are the aurora game casino, tong-its, Sabong, fun apps, and others.

Yes some local casinos in my country provide some traditional games, but mostly they are card games. The games that I cant find in global/international online casinos obviously. The games are remi, domino, samgong, etc, they are all traditional card games in my country and it can be played in local online casinos. I know the names can be something unknown for you but I guess there are similar games in other countries but with different names.

I think I already played this game when I was a kid. It was on a Nokia phone. It's called Bantumi. I don't understand it at first but I enjoyed it by the time I learn to grasp things. I am not sure if we have this game in my local and I haven't seen it in the online casinos that I visit.

If only there is a casino that can offer games from our childhood or games that are originated from each of the countries then that would be great. That casino can easily get a lot of customers. It's only sad that most of the casinos now only focus on the modern and popular games but they don't know that there are people who regularly seek for non-mainstream games.

In my country especially in the western part where this game was originated, during festivals or traditional events,this game is used for an open gamble as a means of entertainment to the people. An amount will be paid by the participants in other to participate in the game,at the end of the game the winner will be given a huge sum of money and he will be respected by everyone.

We called that game here in our country "sungka". A famous traditional past-time game here. But if applied to gambling, I found it not interesting.

Never seen that game too on casino platforms as that is competition between two "real-players".

You will play against a robot or AI here if included in online casinos.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅
Well from the picture, that's the "AYO" game (that's how it's called locally over here) lol ... It's a profound course of Youthful happiness and also one of the reasons we'd sleep late -- back then when we hadn't TV sets and cell phones to keep us busy 😂
We have it digitalized now our days -- so anyone would just go on playstore and download 'em and taste the fun... Though we really learnt it the hard way back then cus we'll have to dig little holes on the bare floor just to fill in those little Stones, periwinkle shell or whatever we decide to use 😂😂 I miss the good old days ... With that, I don't think we have them in online casinos though, or maybe I'll have to look that up.

Any game that requires competing with other players is always subject to fairness.

It won't be a typical casino game that plays against the house, but rather playing with other players. We are not sure if we are competing against a real human that's why you won't see such types of games in the usual casino where users will compete with each other.

Let's say those local games will be included on a casino platform, I don't see that it will bring an impact on me since I will just treat it as a usual gambling game.
If we do speak about PvP then we arent seeing that much lots of sites or casinos that offer this kind of game where people or gamblers would really be having that doubt whether they are really that fighting with real

person or some bot which is something there's no way that you could be able to verify it out.This is why we do seldom see that casinos been integrating these type of games.
I dont know about local games been included but it would be no doubt that they would be adding as long there's a huge request or demand into it.
As a business owner then you would really be including and listing out things which you do see that you could really get more revenue but if it does have
less interest then no brainer that it wont really be included out.

Every region have got their local games that are being played for entertainment purpose. At times people spend money on these games and play on special occasions. In online caisnos these games can be added as player against player game. For users who prefer playing their local games have got the games developed as applications and not available in gambling platforms.

I used to play this game with my cousins when I was a kid as a part of our bonding so it's exciting to see such a game in a physical casino. There are lots of fun traditional games that we have which are added on playstore which means that they could be adopted in online casinos. If more casino sites will add local and traditional games, I'm sure that more players will be interested in them especially those who are just gambling tk feel entertained.

Hardly, and I would not expect my local casinos of ever adding these games too. The local games we have here is comprised of simple card games like Lucky 9, a variation of the game Baccarat, cockfighting, tong-its, and Bingo. These games are too small-scale to be added to casinos with the exception of cockfights because it's kind of big here, cockfights couldn't be included to casinos due to the fact that it involves animals, a big no-no in casinos, and the fact that they have to die at the expense of profit. although small-scale unlicensed gambling operations include these games due to how close they are the hearts of the locals and how cheap to bet in these games.
Cockfight? You mean like making clocks to fight each other? That's really absurd and I on a personal level will never bet on such a game, I wouldn't even sit to watch it, that is very unfair mate.
The fact that we kill this chickens and turn them to food should be enough, making them to fight and kill each other for fun and for profit is really extreme and uncalled for.
But then, I am not under-estimating what humans are capable of, if man can raise a cutlass on his fellow man, then what is a cock that they can't make it to and kill each other..
But sincerely, I don't and will never buy this one.

I have that game remembered on my old nokia phone named bantumi, right?

With these local games, I don't think that a casino will add them up unless there's really the demand on it, otherwise the casino won't be spending bucks just to add it.

Even if the casino wants to have it but there's no already made game for it, they wouldn't have it unless they also hire a developer to make that specific game.

This is our own traditional game that has been there ever since, it is called 'Ayo' which means a game for intellectuals,this is because it needs some mathematical calculation to win the game. It is a board game in which two persons can play in a competition but a home or for fun 2,3,4 or six players can play it.
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.
You are absolutely correct, was about saying something related to this but as I decided to go through the comments a bit, I found this, you are correct.
Personally, and even up till now, I don't know how to play this game yet, but back then, I watched my father and his friends play the game, I was too little to understand the intricacies or the mathematical terms of the game back then, and like you said, there was never a board of kind, they always dug the ground each time they want to play, and some times, they used palm karnel seed, cashew seeds, and if this seeds are not available, there is a tree we all "ugba" in my place, the seed from its fruits are rounded and tiny like the Ayo seeds, this ugba seeds can be used as well, it is even the most comfortable one to use compared to palm karnel or cashew seeds.

And yes, if I ever find this game on a casino, I would not hesitate to play it, not minding (like I've said before) that I don't know how to play it yet, I would definitely learn how to play it through the casino.

People from the Philippines are very familiar with that game, we call it "sungka" (I know this has been mentioned many times already, but I just want to put it here again for everyone who missed to read it on the previous pages).
IMO, this game can be fun at the first hour, but gets boring in the next hour. At least that's based on my experience, that could be the main reason why this game cannot be found on any casinos.
There's an app for this game also called Bantumi, but I doubt if there is a betting option incorporated within the game.

We are also playing the same game in our country and it is considered as a traditional game. However, it is being played for entertainment purposes only. We still have lots of traditional games but it isn't considered by online casinos. I hope casinos will also consider adding local games on their sites because honestly, we all have exciting local and traditional games which are fun to play.

My twin brother Derit and I love playing this game when we were Young, anytime dad and mom are not at home or needs their private time. Derit will always want to cheat in the game,what he does is to count how many seeds in the hole he wants to pick from and he will count round to see the hole where the last seed will stop and so on. I like the game so much then,talking about  it being included in the casino,I don't think so many people will find it interesting due to the playing method.,just for two.

Many games was start from the small village as you said. When the program skills was developed, we will do the new version of such game to update form and allow all the people to play the game. You can take the dice, it was used to play in most of the villages or community. Then it was added to the gambling as one of the game. Now almost all the gambling had the dice in their list of games.

Let be honest.

Most of casino business is using "third-parties" business, example most of the famous one is "Evolution-Games" provider. If casino want to add specific game like this, especially "Live" they're gonna to take a lot effort.

Not everything is always needed, casino/business is always focused on the most famous game playing all around the world.

Lol i think it's only in my country that this game exists but it seems like it exists in other regions too Cheesy
But indeed I have never encountered this game on several online gambling sites and maybe I will look for it again and of course want to try this game online because apart from reminiscing about my childhood, because this game was always played when I was little this can also be an interesting thing. It's fun to try a different game than usual.

This is really just like that Bantumi game which you could play on my old Nokia 3310
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PPg-IUS_VU

I dont know if this one would be having the same game concept but it do really looks like but this one do involves on having that
wood platform with having holes on where those stones been placed.
Pretty sure that it is really a bit common on southeast asian countries or something near that.

Exactly, that is the bantumi game on Nokia 3310, I enjoyed playing this game. I think it'll be easier for live dealers to implement the game on online casino. Though it takes time for a round to be over and its similar to adding chess game on Casino games. Online Gambling is mostly inspired by its fast paced results which effects luck than mastery to stakes. Rarely, these types of traditional games requires luck, with consistency a player can master the game thereby winning often than others. Therefore, reducing the number of players to masters of the game.

The most popular games in a casino are blackjack and roulette. At least in a local casino. There aren't many other games out there, are they? You still have a few poker rooms or tournaments here and there, but that's about it. I doubt if these games are that popular online, I think Poker has the most popularity of all games. Mini casinos have a roulette table and a few more slot machines. But you won't find more and the limits are low.

So far I haven't seen. In my country at here are many local games of traditionally and there aren't any in online casino, because they always play any games in live.
I often see this board game at my place but it's only played by women, rarely do I see men playing this game, I didn't think that this game would exist in casinos and it's enough as a regional game, no more besides, it seems like there aren't many gamblers interested in this game in the casino
This board game is very boring to me and the majority of the boys in my area don't like this game for the same reason. A bit surprised to see this board game in the casino, most gamblers do not like this game because the process is very long.
This game is liked by almost all women in my country too, this game is full of calculations and strategies, so it need a long of time. Also men in my country didn't like it, usually we play a different game we call it karambol if play traditionally game when playing at board games.

Every game that we come across in life was originated from a village or community. This is our own traditional game that has been there ever since, it is called 'Ayo' which means a game for intellectuals,this is because it needs some mathematical calculation to win the game. It is a board game in which two persons can play in a competition but a home or for fun 2,3,4 or six players can play it. It is called ayo because the seed that is used for the game was gotten from a plant called ayo.


A very interesting game in my locality like the op said its called name because of the unique plant seed used for its main component of the game. The game was introduced to me by grandmother who was a really good player she would often win me on it no matter how hard i try to beat until now am a little champion on and i know this my child cant seem to win me in the game.

There are many interesting local games over here which are a supposedly good feature add up to casinos in my area here because these games are very popular and would at once gain alot of attention i think from casino customers over here.

I have even downloaded the game once online in my previous phone i was using online which i had fun playing it.

Incorporating traditional local games to online casinos may be another wild idea, but that would be really challenging and has no guarantee of luring players since local games are really different in every region. Some players may get it, some may not, and some may even be bored with such selections if it were to really happen. Anything is possible to happen because of the varying perception of the players. So, yes it may be possible to have local games in online casino but to be marketable here is another factor to consider.
A wild idea indeed. Will the casino concept of its current games not be alters? I think this would really influence the casino games and would probably be renamed.
However, unless it is for a region specifically, casino games are universal in style unlike most of our local games.

There are enough different games in online casinos. For the most part, they are very similar and differ only in appearance. I don't think casinos will add traditional games. Casino have a wide range as well.

I can assume that online casinos will pay attention to traditional games if they want to occupy new markets for their services and attract new users. The difficulty may lie in the fact that each country has its own traditional games and their audience may not be so extensive. Therefore, development and other costs may not be justified. With the same conditional "poker" everything is simple. It is played all over the world and has a large user base. If I were the owner of a casino, I would add "poker" and that's it. This is the easiest way.

Honestly no, but I am not sure if all the gambling site in our locals are like this since all the local online casinos I used before only offer games from third party casinos games and doesn't offer local games. Maybe in some countries their local games are popular that's why some online casinos are adding it up in their website. Though it is a nice idea to add local games to online casino as there would definitely a lot of people who would be interested in those games.

P2P local games, it will be very difficult to be implemented by casinos simply because it might not be worth for them. Although we local games included in some casinos if I'm not mistaken, but still though not attention for our local games by international players. It could be that the games is boring for them or difficult to learn for beginners.

Any case, at the end of the day it is still business for them, they only list games that are most profitable and known to many gamblers. And unfortunately, not much of a local games for different nations.

This type of game has different names it's been called depending on the country where it's been played, it is believed to have been played by our ancestors in a bids to friendliness among each other in a community or the society, having this kind of game onna casino will also depend on the location to where the casino is being established, if it's common there then there's a more likeness to have it included but on general mode I don't think it has gained the public casinos attention for enlistment on available games in most of the existing ones, I've also played it before and it's full with lot of fun.

Can this game be included in a casino platform ? Do you have a local game in your country and what is the name ? How will you feel if you see it in an online casino,will you be happy to play it or will prefer playing something new ?

Apparently, I thought this type of game existed only in my country. I forgot when i played this. however, these games are traditional games and are usually dominated by women or children only. we call it, "Congklak". I think, reminded of the memory as a child. I forgot, maybe it's been more than 3 decades. In fact, I have never seen this type of game being played by today's children. yes, everything that smells ancient is no longer valid in the technological era like today.

Referring to your question, I'm not sure this game will be interesting if it is adopted by online casinos. maybe also, there are differences in how to play in our place and in your country. and the question is, why is this type of game not widely adopted by casinos. I think market trends will not be interested in these types of games and will not encourage a lot of interest from users to play them.

In my country this game is called Ntchuva, I don't know if it's exactly the same as the game in your country, but here's a picture of the game in my country:




on the subject, I think it would be very difficult for casinos to place local games, because each country has many different games, and the owners of the casino oddsmakers would have a lot of difficulties in placing odds on local games, many people who are not from that country too would have a lot of difficulties in understanding how the game works, but people from that country would not have many difficulties in understanding how the game works, I would consider it unfair for this to happen, because people from the country where the game originates would have many advantages, they would dominate the game.

about profitability, I think that casinos would not make a profit, because most casino customers for not understanding how the game works would not be interested in playing and when they did not play the casino would not make a profit, casinos add games in which many people have interested in playing, they don't add games that aren't very popular.

Do we have at least one local game that is popular now in one country integrated by popular game providers I think there's not one I know of and checking other members' posts there's no one posting because we are all gamblers and we want familiarity on games we are playing and will likely play on new games unless one provider install it and it becomes a popular game then all the other game providers will follow and install that local game.

 Grin

imagine one day you go into a casino and see a game you've never seen in your life, then ask people and they say it's a game that few people know about because it's a local game in india, honestly you and all casino customers won't go to play, that's why I agree with you, nobody is interested in playing something they don't know and isn't popular, because even if you search the internet, you won't find how to play, only people from india would play

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.
In our country this is called "sungka", since this is pvp and mostly 2v2 it would be hard to attract users/players to play the game just like what poker us struggling with in the online scene. I have to admit I'm getting old that I played this a decade ago I guess, I use to play this during my childhood and it's a great game to pass the time. I think it's good to be in a casino but as I've said it will be difficult to attract players.
I thought this is the only way to play the game but OP said that it was played with 6 players and it got me more confused. I played this also in my childhood(2 decades ago) which is the first one to fill the last hole with marbles or stones. Sad to say in this generation most of them is they already forgotten it or don't know what is these games. It is usually played for fun at reunions and also kills your time around 3 pm. I also haven't seen any online games about this (or I just haven't researched it) but definitely will play it again.
I don't know how maximum of 6 will be able to play this but would be good to know on how that will be done considering throughout my childhood we were thought it will only be played by two individuals. I can't see anyone that play in my area these days but if introduced I think it will be easy to teach them since rules aren't that complicated.

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.
That's what I'm telling to OP because even poker seem to have difficulty getting players these days how much more in this traditional game that is only good for two real players, it will be too difficult.

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 think they don't include local games to online casino due to its integrity. I believe it can be easily rigged as players doesn't have any image or a career to be taken care of, they can be easily rigged and bribe. And even the popular ones won't be in online casino if there is an issue like the game/player integrity due to past reviews. I think every casino has a connection or reporting quarters where they tag games/players that may be involved in illegal acts like game fixing. I've been betting in Dota2 and many sports, local games are only limited.

Just want to correct you mate, it's not hen fighting. You cannot have a hen fighting to a rooster, I know it sounds so sexist but it can't be. It's cockfighting, now think why they call it that way haha.

if this game is in great demand and gamblers like this game in the casino why not add it there, I don't mind if there is this game in the casino because when I was little I played this at home with my friends, maybe it's more nostalgic with this game because since technology existed, the game This kind of legacy is abandoned and most of them prefer to play games on mobile phones

Every game that we come across in life was originated from a village or community. This is our own traditional game that has been there ever since, it is called 'Ayo' which means a game for intellectuals,this is because it needs some mathematical calculation to win the game. It is a board game in which two persons can play in a competition but a home or for fun 2,3,4 or six players can play it. It is called ayo because the seed that is used for the game was gotten from a plant called ayo.

Can this game be included in a casino platform ? Do you have a local game in your country and what is the name ? How will you feel if you see it in an online casino,will you be happy to play it or will prefer playing something new ?


If ever a local game is included in a platform it should come from game providers because the game providers like Evolution and Softgaming and the like and your local games is the kind of game that gamblers can easily play or are familiar to play, or a local casino can include a local game for local gamblers so far none of the local games we have are on any top casinos but with os many games on casinos I'm playing I'm ok with it.

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.

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.
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.  Undecided

In our country this is called "sungka", since this is pvp and mostly 2v2 it would be hard to attract users/players to play the game just like what poker us struggling with in the online scene. I have to admit I'm getting old that I played this a decade ago I guess, I use to play this during my childhood and it's a great game to pass the time. I think it's good to be in a casino but as I've said it will be difficult to attract players.
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.

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).

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.

In Brazil there is the game of the jaguar ("Jogo da Onça" in Brazilian) which is a game originating from indigenous peoples that is usually played on the ground, on the ground and the pieces can be simple stones where one of the pieces represents the jaguar and the another 14 (which need to be equal to each other) represent the dogs.

This is a strategy game for only two players, where one of them will act as a jaguar and have the objective of capturing the opponent's pieces, similar to the game of Checkers.

The other player acts with the dogs and aims to corner the jaguar and leave it unable to move.

In fact this was the only typical game from my country that I could remember, I'm not sure if it could attract any audience on an online betting site, even because it's a very old game, few people know it, much less who play in casinos.



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.

Thanks for sharing, I love learning about other cultures and was glad to read about another local game from on of the replies on here.  I'm not sure there's any sort of local game in my area that could be turned in to a game that could be used on a gambling platform.  The only local games I can think of that I grew up with are pretty universal in nature.  

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.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
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.

It is a board game in which two persons can play in a competition but a home or for fun 2,3,4 or six players can play it.
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.

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.

I thought this is the only way to play the game but OP said that it was played with 6 players and it got me more confused. I played this also in my childhood(2 decades ago) which is the first one to fill the last hole with marbles or stones. Sad to say in this generation most of them is they already forgotten it or don't know what is these games. It is usually played for fun at reunions and also kills your time around 3 pm. I also haven't seen any online games about this (or I just haven't researched it) but definitely will play it again.

I don't think said game is applicable, if this is the same game on my mind it should be possible to technically win the game by counting, even if the difficulty is ramped up since you're against a player, counting would still heavily influence the game, and that leads to describe it as a skill-based game instead of a luck based one. It can be fun as a small part of a big festival, as a temporary one, but in a permanent case like in casinos? I don't think it's going to fit.

I don't think casinos will include local games in their platform because online casinos already have default gambling games that they "must" have.
But if later these traditional games are included in online casinos, I don't know whether to be happy or happy or normal.
I may need to adjust myself first because the rules can be different from those in traditional games.
I wouldn't play it very often, considering it's a game of 2 people competing against each other and only those who can play it well will win.
Maybe I still prefer the gambling games that I usually play.

I'm not sure of the specific mechanics in this game of ayo but there is a similar version of this game here in our country. It also involves a carved wood and either small rounded shells or marbles or stones or seeds as the pieces. But this is seldom played already. This used to be a pastime game, way back when there wasn't computers, cell phones, PSP, and internet yet. Many children probably don't know this local game already. But I think this is also offered in smart phone versions. But I doubt there is a casino that offers this. I guess it's probably because it's not that popular or perhaps it's not really a game designed for casinos.

We have many local games.
But not sure if they can be adapted to online casinos.
Maybe Dam-daman, Klereng, and Boi-boian are possible to adapt on casino games.

That is Congkak in Malaysia, Dakon in Indonesia, and Sunka in the Philippines. I don't know how it is possible online but I think it is more fun to play.
In some areas in Indonesia, we also call this game "Congkak" or "Congklak" although it is also familiar with Dakon.
Yep, I never saw this game in gambling sites or casinos, but it seems interesting to have this game in online casinos.
It will be fun, especially if the way to play it adapted from its common/general rules.

Your local game can be included if there is a local online casino in your area, we used to have a dedicated online cockfighting that targeted our local bettors for that particular game, it become so popular that operators are raking in huge money and the government has a cash cow on this kind of games, some online casinos have included this because of the popularity and they targeted our local bettors but because of too many anomalies, the government stopped it.
A local game if it's adopted in other countries or can easily explain and play can be included in online casinos, but game providers are only interested to add games that are already popular among gamblers.

That game is called, Mancala in Southeast Asian. That uses small stones, seeds, or any small objects that can be put in the hole.
