I’m a Casino Games Developer – Ask Me Anything! 🎰🎲

[damicofj]

Hey everyone! First time posting on the forum.

I’m a casino games developer with experience in designing and integrating various gambling games, including lottery, scratch cards, and online casino content. Whether it’s RNG mechanics, game math, or game design, I’ve been involved in multiple aspects of the industry as i have a legit company (

) that builds and provides games for the industry.

If you’ve ever wondered how casino games are built, how odds are calculated, or what goes on behind the scenes in iGaming development, feel free to ask! Happy to share insights and answer any questions you might have.

Hi Francisco, I have allowed this thread as I think the community would appreciate the insights of a casino games developer. Similar threads have been very popular and have broadened the understanding of slots and casino games for many members.

However, if I notice any funny business, like shilling, contacting members privately, running down competitors, or anything else of that nature then this thread will very quickly be shut down. I hope that is clear.

Welcome to you from Argentina!! My big question. Has anyone every tried to build a slot with quests? Like a sort of big game where you can complete quests, do sidequests, choose sides, choose 'characters'. etc.

Or is it just that slot devs are not like game devs?

thx @SlamRoyale
That’s a great question! There have been some attempts at adding more game-like elements to slots, but it's not the industry standard. Most slot games focus on quick, repetitive gameplay loops optimized for engagement and monetization rather than deep, story-driven mechanics.

Developers from the video game industry tend to focus on skill-based mechanics, while slot devs are working within strict gambling frameworks where outcomes must be based on chance.

We built a game where you can choose characters:

, but not still somemthing more like quests or that kind of challenges. It did not launch officially yet but we also see there is a space there to position games.

It would be really interesting to explore the idea a little more.

Why do some slots always appear to throw you a bonus the first time you play it? This is something many have experienced.

Why is it when a new game gets rolled out you play it and the next day it seems to be altered. I'm a guy that likes to find a rhythm with timing and manipulate the reels. I've also had an experience where I had it down perfectly and was hitting bonus consistently and it seemed to be altered while I was playing to the point where I couldn't even manipulate reels at all. They always blame internet connection. I've got a list of games that ran a certain way and now they are barely even playable unless you want to lose everything. Diamonds and dragons for example I hit the blackout 4000X WAGER come back the next day the button is like shut off you can hit it but afterwards it's just random. Obviously most games are random but this game is different then others it's not even stopping reels more trying to place your drops. I complained got nowhere then wrote a bad review and surprise they fixed it but it still is weird now when I start any game It gets really glitchy at the start seems fishy to me. Any thoughts?

What do you think the next big thing will be in slots? The last thing was Megaways for online, and now the 3 pots slots are everywhere.

Thank you

Personally, I was a gamer before I was a gambler lol and I know some games I played for 1000s of hours just because of the story and the quests. Even when I finished the game I would replay to find ALL the quests.

To be 100% honest most of them were not even skill, just time. As in, the more you play, the more you collect, the more you unlock etc etc. People would play 1000s of hours to get every quest completed or collectible. Slots is missing a big psychology of gameplay here

Don’t forget the fish. That mechanic was and still is extremely popular.

I’ve just had four features on Fishin frenzy at 40p in the space of ten minutes. One four scatters so 45 spins in total. I made less than a tenner. I counted four fisherman wilds drop down, two of them with no fish. That’s one every 11 spins.

How do developers get away with it? It’s incredibly difficult usually to hit a feature game, it’s not unheard of for me to have 200 spins and spend £100 before I hit three scatters. To then win 80 pence on a feature.

Why is it allowed? Should there be some kind of guaranteed win on these features? For example the big bass games always seem to pay AT LEAST 10x.

@damicofj I think you may have to get a little more active here buddy. People are keen to ask questions, but then you need to answer them if you are putting yourself out there. I would recommend stepping up your responses.
