Olympian Gaming has a proven history of successful slot machine game design, analysis, and implementation. We can help you to create new slot games or improve the gameplay of your existing games.

New Slot Game Design

With dozens of games designed, developed, and placed in Las Vegas, Reno, and Atlantic City casinos, Olympian Gaming has the knowledge and experience to develop the mathematical model for your next slot game. We can design games with any of these features:
  • Reel games: 3-reel, 4-reel, 5-reel or more
  • Grid-style games: 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 or bigger
  • Second-screen bonus rounds
  • Multi-level bonus rounds (bonus-within-a-bonus)
  • Any style of line pay: left-to-right, both ways, non-adjacent, etc.
  • Scatter pays across any or all reels
  • Wild symbols
  • Multiplier symbols
  • Group pays (i.e. the “any-bar” pay in many 3-reel slots)
  • Accumulator or bonus-meter payouts
  • Progressive jackpots
In addition to the game features, we can help you target the game to specific player types. We can adjust games to meet requirements for:
  • Payback percentage
  • Hit frequency
  • Volatility
  • Bonus entry frequency
  • Progressive frequency and average jackpot size
When we deliver a game, it’s not just a paytable and set of reel strips. You’ll get a complete par sheet for every feature of your game, suitable for gaming commissions and regulatory labs, created with our proprietary slot game modeling technology.

Slot Game Math Analysis

Slot games aren’t just about payback. A successful game needs to have good hit frequency, entertaining features, and the feeling that it can win. Quantifying a winning feeling involves analyzing the following gameplay characteristics:

Hit frequency and award distribution

Determining both the overall and individual hit frequency for the awards in a game can point to the “focus” of the paytable and provide hints to what kind of player would like the game. The player that always wants to win 2-coin awards is very different than the player that will wait 2 hours to win a 500-coin award.

Volatility

Knowing how wide the payback swings are likely to be over time means you can reassure customers that their games are performing well.

Reel strip layout

For three-reel games especially, the relationship of symbols on the reel can make the difference between a game that feels like it’s “rigged” to always miss and a game that feels like nothing will ever hit.

Payback

Of course, we also calculate the overall and individual payback for each award. If your game isn’t holding the amount you think it should, this is the first place to look. Olympian Gaming can perform this analysis for any of your existing slot games. We’ll be able to identify several potential changes and their probable impacts on your game’s performance.
