Press release.- Four days in Rome certainly kept DELULU Gaming busy, with hundreds of meetings with partners and a constant flow of visitors to the booth. SiGMA World Summit 2026 gave the DELULU team lots to celebrate and even more to look forward to.

Partners, operators, industry peers and curious newcomers filled the space, eager to learn more about the studio’s latest titles, meet the people behind the games and see what’s coming up for one of the industry’s newest providers.

DELULU’s executives and commercial team had the chance to get together with current partners, share the latest performance figures and discuss future collaborations. Meetings with potential partners and operators already active in African and LatAm markets also opened up promising opportunities in two of the studio’s target markets. The latest titles, including Sweet Takes, MLK PUMP!, Glam Cam and Stranger Farms, attracted considerable interest, along with DELULU’s plans for further expansion in 2027.

A booth that felt like stepping inside the games

From the moment visitors approached the DELULU Gaming booth, it was clear this wasn’t going to be a typical exhibition space. A striking entrance arch set the tone before visitors even stepped inside. Beyond it, bold colours, oversized game characters seemingly bursting through the walls and carefully designed spaces brought the DELULU universe into the real world. Spanning 200 square metres, the booth featured themed stations, rooms, and interactive areas, each with its own personality. Visitors could move between different game worlds while still feeling part of one connected universe, full of characters, unexpected twists, bonuses, and the kind of playful chaos that defines DELULU.

And there was plenty to do beyond talking business. Visitors queued for two to three hours for a DELULU Gaming T-shirt, watching the team print designs inspired by the studio’s games right at the booth. The first batch was gone in just three hours, so the team bought another 500 shirts and handed out every last one. By the end of the three-day exhibition, more than 650 T-shirts had gone home with visitors.

One of the most talked-about attractions at the booth was the creative corner hosted by contemporary artist MRDRIP. Here, visitors could do more than admire his work. A large canvas invited everyone to leave their own artistic mark, and over the three days, what started as a blank space gradually became a collaborative artwork shaped by dozens of visitors, each adding something of their own.

The collaboration also included a special giveaway featuring two MRDRIP prizes, including customised T-shirts. Guests stopped by to meet the artist, take photos, enter the giveaway, and see how the painting was coming along.

And the story doesn’t end in Rome. The finished artwork will have a permanent home at DELULU Gaming’s Barcelona office, serving as a reminder of SiGMA World 2026 and everyone who helped create it. What began as an interactive art experience at the booth will become a lasting part of the DELULU story.

DELULU Gaming wins Rising Star Game Studio of the Year

SiGMA World brought another major milestone for DELULU Gaming. On November 2, the studio won Rising Star Game Studio of the Year at the Ace Alliance iGaming Awards 2026.

The recognition came less than four months after DELULU’s official market launch in mid-July. In that short time, the provider has built a strong network of operator partners, expanded its game portfolio and gained a growing following among players and streamers.

For a studio still in its first year, the award is a particularly exciting achievement and another reason to look ahead to 2027 with confidence.

Talking partnerships, players and the future of igaming

DELULU Gaming also joined the discussions on stage at SiGMA World. CEO Arthur Sheikhaliev took part in “Handshake Capital: Is Networking the Real Currency of igaming?”, sharing his views on the value of personal connections and trust in building business partnerships.

CPO Alina Avekse Mathiasen joined “Women in Betting: The Industry’s Most Ignored Growth Segment”, discussing why female players deserve more attention and how the industry can better understand their needs.

Beyond the panels, Arthur and Alina spoke with leading igaming media about DELULU’s recent releases, evolving product strategy and ambitions for 2027.

Arthur Sheikhaliev, CEO of DELULU Gaming, said: “SiGMA World was a productive few days for our team. Events like this give us the chance to spend time with our partners, hear their honest feedback on our games and discuss how we can create more value for each other and for our players. We also made some promising new connections that we’re looking forward to building on. Rome showed us how much we’ve already achieved, but more importantly, how much more lies ahead.”
