Roles in gaming machine development

Developing pachislot and pachinko machines overlaps with console game development in some ways and is unique to the industry in others.

  • Payout design Designing odds, payout performance and gameplay. Mostly numbers-driven work
  • Video direction Planning the on-screen effects and directing the video production team
  • Application programmer Writing the software that runs on the machine
  • Sound / video production Creating the sound and video for the effects

The biggest difference from console games is designing within regulations. Payout performance has legal limits, and the job is working out how to make the machine fun inside them. The number design can be rewarding, but some things are not yours to decide.

Moving over from the game industry

A lot of game development experience carries straight over.

  • Planner experience Balancing numbers works much the same way as payout design
  • Video and effects experience Machines are packed with effects, so video production experience is valued
  • Programmer experience The environment is closer to embedded systems, but the way you build things is the same

People also move the other way, from gaming machines into games. In either direction, number design and effects experience are shared strengths.
