From insightful discussions to collaborative brainstorming sessions, the event provided an invaluable platform for networking and forging new partnerships.

On June 2nd a team of 20 Delegates from Nautilus Games made their way to Manila for the much anticipated Sigma Asia 2024 event at the SMX Convention Center, where over 3000 operators and an astonishing 20,000 attendees would be coming together for one of the biggest iGaming events of the year.

The team had come to showcase some of its biggest and best game offerings, with over 40 exciting slot games and 5 table games including a firm favourite Bau Cua which would also be played out live within the Nautilus Games booth.

Nautilus Games Showcases Bầu Cua at Sigma Asia

Bầu Cua is a traditional Vietnamese dice game typically played during the Lunar New Year celebrations (Tết). The game is similar to a simplified version of a casino dice game and involves a combination of luck and betting. Players place bets on images of six different symbols: a gourd (bầu), a crab (cua), a shrimp (tôm), a fish (cá), a rooster (gà), and a deer (nai). Three dice, each marked with these symbols instead of numbers, are rolled. Players win if the symbols they bet on appear on the dice, with payouts based on the number of matching symbols rolled.

Many important new connections were forged, marking the start of many long-lasting collaborations.
