Keep it Simple
The odds must favour the casino and any game must make money to keep the casino in business. The house edge, as it’s known, ensures that the casino will win more money than it loses over time. Before a game is approved, it has to be tested by a mathematical consultant who will do an analysis of game results.
Punters Need an Incentive to Play
However, creating a game like roulette requires a lot of craftsmanship. The device has to be built to absolute perfection. For a roulette wheel to be approved, the ball must have an equal probability of landing on all numbers equally.
Clearly, casinos aren’t all about table games. It seems like there’s a million different type of slot machines out there with various themes, scatter symbols and bonus features. Punters not only want to win at slots. They can be attracted by a particular genre, storyline, or design. Beware that if you want to build your own slot machine then it’s not going to be cheap. You need a good understanding of electronics and have to buy all the essential components.
Creating Online Games
If you want to develop an online slot game then you need a concept that stands out from the crowd. A pay table, which details all potential payouts, could be a great place to start. Will your slot include a progressive jackpot? Who is your target market? How much can they afford and what will the average bet size be? This kind of research is important when determining the maximum and minimum bet.
Online casinos have a variety of methods to encourage players to play online slot machines. Many give away free spins as a welcome bonus. While it will be the casino’s responsibility to promote and sell your game to customers, you still have the job of selling it to the casino.
Summary
You also have to undergo legal procedures to ensure your idea doesn’t already exist, and to protect it from anyone trying to steal it. You have to be able to sell your idea to casinos and be willing to give them the lion’s share of profits. Your game has to be tested vigorously to not only ensure it works, but also that it attracts and retains punters. And, of course, you have to ensure you follow all laws and regulations. In Great Britain, the Gambling Commission is responsible for licensing and regulation of the industry.
In this highly competitive industry, building your own casino game can be a long-shot gamble in itself. If successful, the payout can be generous, although the amount of work required should not be underestimated. If you are serious, then remember the three golden rules: keep it simple, ensure punters feel they have a realistic chance of winning and (most importantly), the house must always win.
