At SiGMA Asia, Wicked Games will showcase a series of exciting announcements and attractions. As the studio transitions from a third-party game production house to a stand-alone, direct-to-operator game provider, attendees are invited to explore their latest innovations and dynamic new brand identity.
Debut of Ten New Games
SiGMA Asia is the perfect stage for Wicked Games to launch their first ten games tailored for the Asian market. This diverse portfolio includes standard lines and ways slots, along with innovative Crash games, designed to engage a wide range of players. These offerings lay the foundation for Wicked Games’ entry into the Asian market and set the stage for an exciting future, with upcoming releases also targeting European and LATAM players.
Darryl Manning, CEO at Wicked Games, explains, “Our initial focus was on Asia, crafting the first five games to resonate with classic Asian themes and mechanics. We selected proven successful models like the Hold’em spin games that have evolved to cater to an Asian market transitioning towards Mega Ways and more intricate game styles. We aimed to capture the essence of the best-performing math models of the past decade first.”
Karl von Brockdorff, Head of Brand at Wicked Games, elaborates on the strategic vision of the company, “Our new brand emphasises straightforward, user-friendly products. We prioritise games that are fun, easy to pick up, and difficult to put down. While future releases will introduce more complexity, with elaborate and tongue-in-cheek themes, our core remains on creating accessible, captivating experiences that cater to a wide audience.”
Darryl Manning concludes, “In upcoming games, we plan to incorporate popular mechanics such as Ante bets and bonus buys, expanding our library of features to evolve alongside our maturing audience. Our goal is to continue growing and adapting to meet the changing preferences of our players.”

A Snooker spectacle: Teasing future innovations

Opening of a cutting-edge live studio in Armenia
Testimony to its commitment to quality and innovation, Wicked Games is also excited to announce the release of their state-of-the-art live studio in Armenia. This new facility will enhance the brand’s ability to deliver top-notch live dealer game streaming to clients around the globe. With an end-of year date earmarked for the launch, Wicked Games has ensured ease-of-use, with partners able to access the live studio through their Wicked Games integration. Additionally, Wicked Games will also provide the option for operators to offer the live studio as a fully branded experience to their players, using the operators’ chosen colours and branding.
