About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 4 years of experience in game mathematics, preferably designing and balancing casino slot games.
  • Proficiency in Excel and Java or another relevant programming language, with working knowledge of Git and Gradle for developing mathematical models, simulators, calculators, and validation tools.
  • Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, object-oriented programming, and standard software design patterns.
  • Strong understanding of return to player (RTP), volatility, hit frequency, feature frequency, and win distributions, with the ability to design and balance mathematically sound game mechanics aligned with target metrics and gameplay objectives.
  • Experience taking mathematical game concepts through development, simulation, validation, and production release, including comprehensive test coverage and iterative refinement.
  • Experience using playtesting results, player behavior insights, live-game performance data, and competitor analysis to evaluate and improve game mechanics.

Responsibilities

  • Design and balance slot game mathematics, including reel structures, paytables, bonus features, and reward systems, to meet target RTP, volatility, hit frequency, feature frequency, maximum win, and reward budgets.
  • Translate game themes and creative concepts into engaging, mathematically feasible slot mechanics and features in collaboration with Game Designers and Artists.
  • Balance game pacing, win distributions, bonus features, and reward structures to deliver enjoyable gameplay experiences aligned with intended game design objectives.
  • Develop and maintain mathematical models, simulators, calculators, and validation tools using Excel and Java, with Git for version control and Gradle for build automation.
  • Conduct large-scale simulations to validate theoretical calculations, test edge cases, analyze win distributions, and identify unexpected outcomes.
  • Collaborate with Engineering and QA to ensure implemented game logic aligns with approved mathematical models, supporting debugging, test planning, and validation through release.
  • Maintain mathematical accuracy, fairness, and consistency between theoretical models and implemented game behavior.
  • Use playtesting feedback, player behavior insights, live-game performance data, and competitor analysis to refine game mechanics and improve the player experience.
  • Prepare and maintain accurate PAR sheets, paytables, probability calculations, simulation results, test plans, and mathematical specifications.
  • Communicate mathematical concepts, assumptions, risks, and trade-offs clearly to Game Design, Engineering, Art, QA, Product, and other stakeholders.
  • Take ownership of mathematical deliverables, timelines, model revisions, reviews, and feedback through final validation and release.
