Is your local game includes in online casino ?

[TheUltraElite]

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.

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.

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.

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

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 ?

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.

It is called ayo because the seed that is used for the game was gotten from a plant called ayo.

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.

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.

[dothebeats]

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).

[Beparanf]

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.

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

[danherbias07]

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.

[goldkingcoiner]

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.

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.

[Daltonik]

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.

[Saisher]

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.

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.

[piebeyb]

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

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.

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.

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.

[Slow death]

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.

 

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
