I design slot machine games (mostly video) for a living. It's a fun job, and it does come with the perk of the occasional business trip to Vegas. Lately though I've had my eye on the growing online casino business.
My academic background is in math and statistics. At certain points over the past 10 years it has sounded fun to start picking up a new language, but alas it's difficult to retain much of anything without being regularly immersed.
When I'm not at work, I'm usually in the mountains, thinking of being in the mountains, or every so often taking a weekend trip to Europe.
I have the primary responsibility for the game play mechanics primarily video, including the gambling "feel" of the games and the choreography of the overall game play feel among the various disciplines involved in any project, including the graphical design, software engineering, and mechanical design. For 2 years I was heavily involved in projects for specialized markets in Southeast Asia, Europe, and South Africa, and for the last 2 years I have been involved in developing game play for IGT's premium recurring revenue product.
