Project Brief: Rocket Gaming Systems, an enterprise of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma Business Development Authority, operates out of Grove, Oklahoma. The company specializes in designing, developing, and delivering slot-style casino games and cabinets, primarily serving Native American Tribe-owned casinos in the U.S., along with growing state-regulated markets. Renowned as a pioneer and leading manufacturer in Class II interactive electronic gaming systems and player stations, Rocket Gaming sought to further its reputation in the casino industry.

Solution: In response to Rocket Gaming’s request for a standout game, we developed an Egyptian-themed slot game centered on Isis, a significant deity in Egyptian mythology. Our comprehensive approach included:

1. Data Analysis and Terminology Understanding: Analyzing thousands of data elements and familiarizing with scientific terminology to ensure accuracy and relevance.
2. Workflow Structuring: Developing a well-organized workflow, breaking down the system into distinct processes for efficient DNA sample tracking. This restructuring also included capturing historical data for more intuitive user guidance.
3. Collaborative Workshops: Conducting workshops to critically analyze the workflow and develop wireframes, facilitating collaborative problem-solving and design ideation.
4. Efficient Redesign: Achieving a complete system redesign within one year, a significant improvement over the previous 2-3 years spent on redesign and requirements gathering.

Learnings:  The project demanded extensive coordination with cross-functional teams, encompassing aspects such as design, art assets, animations, sound/music, and sprite sheets, highlighting the importance of communication in complex game development.

Results: The “Magic of Isis” game emerged as a major revenue generator on casino floors. Its high-quality graphics, character design, and animations provided a deeply immersive experience with a compelling narrative, successfully keeping players engaged and entertained. This project not only reinforced Rocket Gaming’s position in the casino industry but also demonstrated our ability to create captivating gaming experiences.
