Testimonials

We needed a prototyping tool flexible enough to handle innovative new math models fast and efficiently. Something that delivered the correct math, integrated game graphics, and made it easier to compile than the excel spread sheets we were currently using.

- peter causley, managing director, lightning box games

Having been a maths based game designer for over 17 years, I have seen and used many game design tools. Since introducing slot designer into lightning box games, I have to say, we could not look back.

- david little, games director, lightning box games

We tried slot designer after hearing about it from other mathematicians in the industry. And we’re glad we did. The advantage it offered was clear from the very first time we used it. Today we continue using it on a daily basis and it helps us build better games and increase efficiency.

I would recommend all slot mathematicians to give it a try.

- asael israeli, senior mathematician, playtika

While browsing online for interesting and new applications to be used with online gaming, we came across slot designer. Although we were not looking to replace our existing tool, robert assured us that slot designer will not only benefit our product but will also make new game math models that much easier.

We took a chance based on the recommendations and have to admit that we are most satisfied with the product. It is fun and easy to use. The support we received from robert was outstanding and we thank him very much for this. We are currently using the tool to build our new games and will continue to use it going forward.

- guy ezra, CEO and co-founder, luck genome

Recommending slot designer to others is easy because the software is brilliantly designed and executed. The downside to recommending it is that others discover just how useful it is, then we lose a competitive advantage.

The true power of the product is revealed a little more each time we use it. It’s not just the easy interface. In depth reporting is a critical part of designing games, and slot designer offers lavish reporting options which make using spreadsheets for game design seem tired and anachronistic.

The built in game simulator transcends any other offering. Best of all, the folks making slot designer are cheerfully helpful at a moments notice.

- pokie magic games design team / 616 digital LLC

We started using slot designer 4 months ago and have just scratched the surface of its capabilities, but it has already saved us a lot of time by allowing us to check game returns and outcome distributions practically instantly in most of the cases. Now, there is much less need to program our own tool for some new features to get outcome distributions and to invent how to calculate return for these features in excel. Slot designer is also great fun to use and the more I use it the more fun it is.

- efim podvoiski, game math developer, JVL labs

Slot designer is a great tool for tuning the maths but it’s also very useful for previewing and adjusting the graphical look and feel when the machine is still in prototype phase. I could not imagine developing another slot machine without slot designer.

- markus weichselbaum, CEO, tap slots

In my 32 years developing games professionally, I’ve always valued good development tools very highly. When I built the first slot games at multimedia games in 1999, we had to code all our tools from scratch. At my current job at koolbit, I’ve had to develop the math for 15 slot machines for 1up casino on a very aggressive schedule, while doing my best to deliver top quality games with appropriate RTP and hit rates. I never could have gotten the job done without slot designer! If I’d had to build my own tool, it would have done a lot less and been slower and harder to use as well. Having a quality professional tool to use saved me a lot of time and improved our product quality.

I also had to tweak some spreadsheet-based designs from earlier products. Slot designer lets you iterate on new designs faster than a spreadsheet, try out a wider range of possibilities, and gives you a lot more information and statistics to evaluate your work in progress. It’s clearly made by someone who knows the ins and outs of slot development, and thus what nice touches would be most helpful. From a variety of ways to tweak reel layouts, to a “play” mode you can drag art into to make a quick prototype, it makes for a tool that’s truly a joy to work with. I can’t imagine anyone in this field choosing not to use it, unless they simply just didn’t know it exists.

- dr cat, VP game design, koolbit

I’ve been using slot designer for some years to design slot games, including analysis/verification of the mathematics and game play. As the designer of some of the most successful games in australia, asia pacific, and north america over the last 15 years, game performance is of the utmost importance. Slot designer allows me to quickly and easily design games, and optimise their performance.

Since starting my consulting business I also utilize slot designer to help my clients and provide them with detailed statistical reports and playable prototypes, all prior to starting production.

Slot designer is by far the best tool in the industry (and I’ve seen quite a few over the years, including my own) and is an essential tool for any slot game designer.

- edgar pau, slot game designer/mathematician/consultant

The days are gone when we were using excel to do the math for our games.

Slot designer is really the “tool of choice” to model games in an extremely short time. Prototypes for the games are done quickly and are a great help when we review the games. We get an immediate “feeling” of the games prior to any coding.

Although it was very easy to step into slot designer (laying out the rules and designing a game with it is very intuitive), any arising questions were answered immediately. Slot designer is now a key asset for our company!

- manfred schimpf, game designer/project manager, TAB austria

I use slot designer extensively, for demos, analysis, and most crucially: fast and independent verification of our excel spread sheets. Providing a high quality fully featured and immediately playable demo for a new game in an hour or two is incredibly powerful for our company. We’ve been able to reduce development time while making better games. The support has been better than any other software package I have ever used.

- bob brown, senior analyst - math, eclipse gaming systems

My team and I have nearly 75 years of collective experience in the gaming industry working for some of the largest gaming manufacturers and online gaming companies. Over the years, we have developed numerous successful games and have come across various math tools. In my opinion, slot designer’s capabilities and benefits are unmatched by any other tool that I have seen. It not only increases efficiency in game production, but also helps in development of new and unique ideas.

Slot designer software has allowed my company to create games at a rapid pace, increasing efficiency and saving us considerable amounts of both money and time. With this software we are able to create math models, build playable games and fine tune the overall game without needing any programming resources. Even more impressive is the support we received from the game design automation. They keep track of the latest trends in the industry and provide software updates on a regular basis to keep the software current. With the competition in the slot industry at its peak, this tool provides us with a significant competitive advantage.

- shridhar joshi, CEO, 2 by 2 gaming

As someone who is always experimenting with new ideas slot designer is an incredibly useful tool, enabling me to bring an idea to life in a matter of hours to see if it works. Being able to tweak and refine a game profile on the fly not only allows me to bypass much of the lengthy trial and error process that often occurs towards the end of development, but also alleviates the uncertainty associated with new and more adventurous or risky design concepts. I can have confidence in the ones that I do decide to pursue.

- steve perry, games design statistician, astra games ltd

Slot designer is an excellent tool that enables me to quickly and easily build games. The play mode together with the great overview of key parameters makes tweaking very easy. The publish function allows me to quickly communicate a playable version of the game to anyone in my organisation. All in all a highly recommended tool.

- andreas bexelius, lead gaming mathematician, net entertainment

Slot designer simplifies the process of bringing concepts to life. Being able to rapidly playtest models, I can compare the feel of the game with its visual and mathematical characteristics – this has resulted in a substantial reduction in the amount of time and cost spent tweaking models further along in the development process. Support has been outstanding. Easily the best design tool I’ve used in 12 years.

- alan maisonet, product manager/game designer, chartwell technology

The ease of mathematical modelling, and the speed at which analysis is done, saves us weeks per game in development time. No more programming of bespoke tools, rather we invest more time ensuring our games perform to the highest levels.

Slot designer has to be the best game design and development aid I’ve ever seen.

Slot designer has filled the empty gap of designing advanced features into our games. We can now model our new ideas programmatically which makes the game flow much easier and fun! Statistical analysis of our games have helped to improve our game play and player retention patterns. The fact that each game modeled can be deployed and tested with one click, makes our testing procedure faster and more efficient to implement fixes rapidly. Various methods of testing RNG rounds are offered in slot designer and they all serve their own purpose.

From a programmer point of view, slot designer allows us to model all our games for the use of training new staff who join our games development team. The support we receive on slot designer is out of this world. Not only speed wise, but also in deep technical discussion, dedicated conference calls, rapid email responses and one on one troubleshooting. Ever since we use slot designer, we can easily work with 3rd party game modeling companies to add the final spark to the game, by adding the professional experience of game play.

- dino pastos, operations manager, 36gaming ltd

Slot designer is a fantastic tool which I have benefited from in many ways. Its many different analytical tools help provide new insight into our existing suite of games and better understanding of game performance. The efficiency and simplicity of the language mean that we can quickly build a first draft of a game, make amendments and re-evaluate effortlessly. All in all slot designer has proved a very useful tool by saving us lots of time on expectation tests with its instant evaluations, and opening up a new way of interpreting and appreciating games.

- marlon dublin, gaming maths analyst, gamesys limited

Since starting to use slot designer I’ve been able to create more games, more quickly, than ever before. And they’re better too.

It has become a vital asset as it has allowed us to review and make quick changes to the direction of some of my games well before they would have caused extensive rework by other departments. It has allowed me to pitch concepts without draining resources from other departments. It allows better, and far quicker, testing of game mathematics without the time consuming need of creating C++ programs.

Slot designer has assumed a critical role that would have previously been filled with additional staff, effectively saving my company substantial money. The support we’ve received has been tremendous. It’s an essential tool and great value.

- peter stathis, mathematician/games designer, nextgen gaming

Slot designer complements and integrates with the mathematical tools I use daily, allowing me to verify the most complex games. In addition, it allows me to feel, see and mould the games during the earliest stages of development. Slot designer really is an amazing program.

- darryl manning, game designer/mathematician, true blue gaming

The more we work with your software, the more we are amazed and impressed by the capabilities you have built in. Not only is this an excellent testing program for slot machine game math models, but it’s also fantastic for demo’s and presentations! Game design automation is an extremely professional organization whose software has allowed us to increase our productivity and assist in designing innovative games.

- jason stage, managing director/owner, games4you, LLC

We provide game consultancy services to other gaming companies, and we can take games in slot designer format, adjust the mathematics, improve the performance, and send them back within a day. We couldn’t do that without slot designer, it would take weeks.

- ed byard, chief technology officer, betdigital ltd

We’ve worked with betdigital who also use slot designer to improve existing games, and for example, they managed to take one of our low performance games and literally make it one of our highest performance games overnight. That wouldn’t have been possible without slot designer.

These natural resources allowed ancient egyptians to build monuments, build statues, make tools and jewelry. In the period of dynasties, culture developed, and religion and art, language and writing were formed and changed.

Ancient maya

In riotous arrays of impenetrable jungle the secrets of the ancient mayan are hidden from the prying eyes. Evergreen walls are carefully camouflage the settlements of countless researchers and restless fans of selfie.

How many treasures are stored in temples, which were built centuries ago, how many of them are left in the world of ancient settlements, which so far no one knows? At these questions, you may be able to get an answer with a help of interested scientists, but we can offer you to get acquainted with the graphic design of this theme in our slot machine "ancient maya".

Local fauna is inhabited by unique wild predators, some of which prefer to hunt at night, and the rest - at the afternoon. And of course characters. Brave and fearless leader of the tribe, armed with a jagged spear. He is harsh and merciless, and his body is covered with armor from the skin of the defeated beast. The beautiful daughter of the leader, singing songs and dancing during the ceremonies, as well as a crazy shaman, whose predictions are largely incomprehensible, but still provide the protection of the local aboriginal people. All this you can see right now.

Napoleon in egypt

Napoleon is one of the favorite persons, thanks to the unusually memorable traits. He is not tall, he is a corsican, he is the master of his fate and the fate of millions of people and countries, and he is unusually in love.

Ready-made character for the game. A young valiant general of the french republic, napoleon bonaparte is going to go to egypt . But what if he meets with an equally strong opponent, but only in a female form. Cleopatra is considered not only the standard of a woman as a strong leader, but also the personification of charisma and beauty. She managed to combine cunning, a keen mind and a disarming ability to seduce. Which of them will succumb to the spell? Two, absolutely equal opponents living in different eras will meet on our battlefield.

This couple inspired us to create such an unusual plot. For greater interest and absurdity, we added comic to the image of the harsh emperor. He will meet you, riding a toy horse, and cleopatra uses both cunning and seduction skills to achieve what she wants. You can try on the famous bonnie's cocked hat or shoot from a cannon. Each symbol is detailed and animated, which further emphasizes the atypical genre of romantic comedy. This is the story of the struggle of love and duty, will and desire, ambition and laws, the struggle with gods and people for power and greatness. Who will win? It is up to you to decide.

In a slot machine which seems destined for modern players, offering big top prizes and equally high volatility, realistic has also included a TV game show inspired design, as well as several good features which go well with the story. Game changer is the name of this new slot machine, and if you’re willing to take on a bit of risk, it might just become a favorite of yours.

It’s a slot machine with 5 reels, using 20 active lines and 20 symbols, making it quite difficult for a win to form in the first place. If they do form, the payouts can be impressive, and the game is allowed to pay as much as 6,000x the stake in a single spin. RTP wise, it’s at 96.06%, so players of this slot are expected to get from it as much as from any other release.

Betting and prizes

High rollers will not be fans of the betting range available to players in game changer. The game only allows for bets between $0.20 and $5, which is fairly low. 20 active lines are provided.

You have a game which will pay quite well, offering rewards of up to 6,000x the stake ($30,000) in a single spin. At the same time, it’s quite difficult to get a full combo out of this slot, because of the sheer number of symbols which are present inside (20 symbols, while most new slots get 10-12 regulars). The odds of the right symbols appearing on the line where you need them will be smaller than in other slots, since it’s so crowded on those reels.

The result is a game with high volatility, but they made sure to keep the RTP at an adequate level, so the slot is expected to pay back 96.06% of what’s wagered inside, though that’s a long-term calculation.

Game changer slot features

The GC logo is a wild symbol, and you will get to use it as a replacement, just as expected from this type of feature.

That same wild is also the one that can help you reach the main bonus feature of this slot. You need the same symbol running around the outer area of the game, in order for the game board to come up. You find that the spots in the center, all three of them, are taken over by multipliers, ranging from 1x to 6x. You use a dice to go from one side of the board to the other. Along the way, you can get X positions, themed symbols, win all prizes or respin reel options. The bonus ends if you get to an X position, but until then you can collect wins along the way.

Theme & design

Game changer gets a TV game show inspired design, so several of its symbols will revolve around those things that you’re being promised in such shows. There are images of passenger jets, yachts, sports cars, expensive watches, coffee machines and toys. There are also royals and various show related icons, with messages like roll even, take prize, level UP, and so on. The graphics don’t look very modern, but they will do in a pinch. It’s not a bad looking game.

Conclusion

Game changer has a couple of things going for it, and I think that it will be appreciated for its top payouts and main feature. It’s not a typical realistic slot game, and that’s a rare enough find these days.

How slot machines work

Originally, casinos installed slot machines as a diversion for casual gamers. Unlike traditional table games (such as blackjack or craps), slot machines don't require any gambling knowledge, and anyone can get in the game with a very small bet.

This idea proved to be a monstrous success -- slot machines eventually moved off the sidelines to become the most popular and the most profitable game in town, bringing in more than 60 percent of the annual gaming profits in the united states.

The technology of slot machines has also changed a lot over the years. The classic mechanical designs have been almost completely replaced by computer-controlled machines. But the game has remained the same. The player pulls a handle to rotate a series of reels (typically three) that have pictures printed on them. Winning or losing is determined by which pictures line up with the pay line, a line in the middle of a viewing window. If each reel shows the same winning picture along the pay line, you win (certain single images are sometimes winners as well). The amount you win -- the payout -- depends on which pictures land along the pay line.

In this article, we'll find out what sets the reels in motion in modern slot machines as well as in the old mechanical models. We'll also see what determines the odds of winning on a slot machine and look at some popular variations on the traditional game.

The classic slot machine design works on an elaborate configuration of gears and levers. The central element is a metal shaft, which supports the reels. This shaft is connected to a handle mechanism that gets things moving. A braking system brings the spinning reels to a stop, and sensors communicate the position of the reels to the payout system. A coin detector initially registers that a coin has been inserted and unlocks a brake so the handle can move.

There are any number of ways to arrange these elements, and manufacturers have tried dozens of approaches over the years, so we'll focus on one representative design. The basic design includes three reels mounted on a central shaft. The central shaft also supports three notched discs, which are connected to the three reels. A second shaft below the central shaft supports a kicker, a piece of metal comprising three paddles. The kicker paddles are lined up so they can push against the notches on the three discs. The second shaft also supports a series of connected stoppers, teeth that lock into the notches on the discs.

The kicker and the stoppers are both connected to springs, which hold them in a standby position. The kicker is held in place behind the discs, while the stoppers are held up against the discs, locking them into place.

When you pull the handle on a slot machine, these parts do a lot of work. We'll look at exactly what happens in the next section.

Inside design: how online slot machines are built

Online casino gambling has exploded in the last decade, with the volume of worldwide online gambling expected to be reported in the $41.4 billion range for 2015, according to statista. This is triple the $13.8 billion that was reported in 2005 - and this is mostly without united states participation, where online casino gambling is almost completely illegal.

In fact, morgan stanley research suggests that if 20 jurisdictions were opened in the united states, that $5.2 billion would be generated just in america by 2020.

Statista defines online gaming as including such activities as poker, casinos (where people can play traditional casino games online, like slot machines or blackjack,, sports betting, bingo and lotteries. Of these, casino games make up the largest market segment, with figures from 2012 finding that 23 percent of online gambling was casino-style gaming and 18 percent was poker games.

Delving deeper into the online casino numbers, it is clear that the most popular activity by far is playing slot machines. And while most online casino companies closely guard their numbers, it is believed that slots make a much higher percentage of the bottom line for online casinos than they do at their brick-and-mortar counterparts, which usually report slot revenues as around 30 percent of their overall take.

The birth of an affordable computer in the early 1980s resulted in the introduction of computers to slot machines at brick-and-mortar casinos. Despite the immediate popularity of games like video poker, many players stayed away, feeling that if they couldn’t see the reels spinning, they couldn’t trust the machines. It didn’t take long for those players to see that they were like every other machine with payouts.

Over time, computers in the machines allowed paper bills to be accepted and could offer a range of options on a single machine. Electronic bonus features were introduced and players found they had enough variety with one machine that the average time of a player staying at the same machine skyrocketed.

Bringing the casino to the home

Computerized casino games first found their way into homes around the same time, allowing players to wager pretend money in often rudimentary interfaces. Without the excitement of real money, most computer or console (like atari, nintendo, etc.) players chose different genres, be it sports or adventure and casino games were a tiny fraction of the gaming industry.

But once the internet began penetrating the computer market in the late ’90s and early into the 21st century, it became clear that, with the ability to introduce real money into the mix, the online casino market was about to take off and cater to a completely different person than the one that plays grand theft auto or FIFA15.

Generally, video games are aimed at the more casual players who are looking for some harmless fun, while real money gambling games - whether slot machines or table games - are of course aimed at those looking to replicate the excitement and potential monetary prizes of their favorite land-based casino at the comfort of their home or mobile device. Unlike video games, these users don't expect to pay for the software itself or abuse it for days over days, but rather they seek some immediate individualistic gratification in terms of cool features and prizes.

Creating an online slot machine

For the end user, or those unfamiliar with the world of casinos or computer programming, it may seem like the online slot machine is a basic tool. But when it comes to internet casinos, they are the games that demand the most development, as well as the ones that change most frequently.

A premium online slot machine takes approximately one year from the idea on a piece of paper to deployment on various platforms. About a dozen people are involved in the process, including a game designer, mathematician, server developer, between one and three front-end developers, a game tester, a project manager, a creative team of one or two people and a configurator. Depending on the specifics of the game, specialty graphic designers may also be brought in to be part of the team.

While each game is different, development teams are able to often use a pre-existing slot mechanism or framework which will help streamline the process of research and development. It is a way to avoid having to reinvent the wheel each time a new game is produced. Whether a player is enjoying a simple bars and 7s machine or one with a hollywood branded tie-in, they likely take for granted that every detail has been meticulously planned out to the last pixel.

A long process to completion

The first step in designing a game is to get a large group together to talk about a concept and determine if it has legs. This involves creative teams, marketing people, product management and development.

While the initial concept involves brainstorming, once a direction is chosen, marketing statistics, demographics and data are used to create several specific directions that may be taken. After additional meetings and votes, the concept becomes a concrete idea and is handed over to the creative team and the product team. The first thing these groups do is to take a look at what similarly-themed slot machines exist in the marketplace. The challenge then becomes figuring out how to present something different that will attract players.

For instance, if one company were designing a machine featuring landmarks of the world, the teams would first see which, if any, competing games existed. If they found a couple slot games that utilized mostly ancient and medieval landmarks such as the egyptian pyramids or the colosseum in rome, they may decide to go with more traditional structures, such as the eiffel tower and the empire state building.

Once that theme is determined, the team figures out the mood of the game. Is it whimsical, perhaps benefitting from cartoon caricatures, or is it supposed to be more reality-based with real photographs being the best choice? How will bonus games be created in a way that reflects the theme and mood?

Creativity and market research determine everything from the large details - like color schemes, fonts and audio - to the tiniest specifications; which, in the example above, might involve determining if shadows should be cast by the famous buildings, or if the bonus game should take three or five seconds to launch. Every last detail is figured out by the team long before the outside world even knows it’s being developed.

In the end, it simply comes down to trying to create the best possible experience for the player.

Sometimes, designers have corporate tie-ins, usually involving a current pop culture element like a specific movie or a musician, that need to be part of the mix. This can be a considerable professional challenge. Making a branded game requires the game team to study and research the brand itself in depth, to understand the characters, main scenes and highlights, and then to translate everything into a realistic game plan that can be executed in reasonable time and budget and of course to approve everything with the brand owner – often a hollywood studio, with very stringent rules on protecting its intellectual property and copyrights.

But despite the additional layer of dealing with the owners of a brand, sometimes it’s harder to create a new online slot machine from scratch. A non-branded game brings other challenges – how to differentiate it from the hordes of other slot games created by dozens of other vendors each year? The challenge is to make the game compelling and engaging from the player perspective and yet not too complicated in terms of project execution.

The players decide if it’s a success

Online slot machines are continually being developed, with designers hoping each new offering will capture players’ imaginations and prompt repeat visits. However, once the slot machine is deployed to players, the designers must keep up with changes to technology, which may mean making occasionally tweaks to the games - especially if new platforms, browsers and operating systems enter the marketplace. Machines may also need to be changed as more jurisdictions allow online casinos.
An online slot machine’s success is measured by several metrics, including the money it generates, its popularity and, perhaps most importantly, its “stickiness” with players (meaning how long they play the machine at any one sitting and how often they return to that particular machine). All of the data in the world, however, cannot guarantee a machine with be a big hit or a bust.
Unfortunately, there’s no simple answer to this question. Designers can create very successful simple machines and very successful complex machines. Since there is no single player, there is no single answer. Nevertheless, a good game will often combine good returns to players with a rich feature set (often including a progressive jackpot) and outstanding creative – including sounds.

The variance system

During the design process, the team must decide the variance of the machine: low-risk, medium-risk, or high-risk.

Low-risk variance machines are designed to appeal to a wide swath of players looking to play for as long as possible. Jackpots are generally lower in value than many machines, but there are more winning combinations that will keep the player engaged with the machine.

Medium-risk variance machines are the most plentiful kind found online, with both high and low jackpots. These game typically attract players by offering bonus features and special game-in-game opportunities to win additional money. Players can win more with these machines than low-risk ones, but they can also see their bankroll dwindle faster if luck isn’t on their side.

High-risk variance slot machines are the ones that offer the best jackpots, often progressives and wild multiplier symbols which can dramatically increase winnings, but the tradeoff is that small jackpots are much more rare, causing a higher number of non-winning spins.

Each risk variance levels caters to a specific kind of player, meaning that developers must keep in mind who they are trying to attract when they are designing new online slot machines.
As with the video poker slots that first hit brick-and-mortar casinos in the 1980s, players were first leery of the dependability and veracity of the odds that came with online slot machines, but the most reputable online casino sites will list the names of external auditors they use who specialize in testing random number generating systems. In countries that may demand additional proof, stringent testing labs also can confirm the fair and unbiased nature of online casino companies.

These random number generators, which are used in both online and brick-and-mortar casinos, feature proprietary algorithms that randomly chooses numbers, and those numbers are connected to the symbols the slots player sees. There is hefty security around these random number generators which manufacturers and sites will not talk about since they are at the heart of keeping games fair.
People who enjoy the online slot machine experience may find one of many “slot machine builders” on the internet, but it's important to note that these don’t have a fraction of the dependability and comprehensive measures utilized by legitimate designers. Traditional table games are still difficult to create, even if they lack the design variables of online slot machines, as table games such as blackjack, roulette and craps are often played by the more conservative players, who seek to replicate the exact land-based casino experience down to the same table, chips, rules and strategies.

In slot games, the game designer can express his originality and innovation and thus create something differentiated and unique. So this is often more enjoyable and engaging from a professional standpoint. Nevertheless, designing any game is a considerable professional challenge and even mimicking a standard table game brings its own particular issues.
