Student Game Development Showcase
Real projects built by our students learning social casino game development. Each game represents months of dedicated coding, design, and testing.
Featured Student Projects
Neon Slots Redux
Slot MachineBuilt by Kenji Nakamura during his final semester project. Features dynamic reel spinning, bonus rounds, and progressive jackpot mechanics. The neon aesthetic took three weeks of CSS animations to perfect.
Blackjack Elite
Card GameDeveloped by Sarah Okoye as part of her algorithm specialization. Includes card counting detection, multiple deck shuffling, and realistic dealer AI. The split-hand logic was particularly challenging to implement.
Lucky Wheel Adventure
Wheel of FortuneCreated by Miguel Santos-Rivera during the autumn 2024 cohort. Features physics-based wheel spinning, customizable prize segments, and multiplayer tournaments. His attention to sound design really makes it stand out.
Poker Palace Pro
Texas Hold'emBuilt by Elena Petrov as her capstone project. Includes tournament brackets, chip betting systems, and advanced player statistics tracking. The hand evaluation algorithm she wrote is genuinely impressive.
Bingo Bonanza
Numbers GameDeveloped by Amara Johnson-Williams for her mobile specialization track. Features pattern recognition, auto-daubing options, and chat functionality. She managed to keep the file size under 2MB while maintaining smooth animations.

Our January 2025 cohort is making excellent progress on their midterm projects. Here's what they're working on:
Currently implementing betting logic and wheel physics. His mathematical background is really helping with the probability calculations.
Working on the random number generation system and payout calculations. She's also designing a really clean user interface.
Just started the scratch animation effects using Canvas API. The reveal mechanics are trickier than expected, but he's making steady progress.
What You'll Learn to Build
Slot Machines
Master reel mechanics, payline calculations, and bonus features. You'll code everything from basic three-reel games to complex video slots with multiple bonus rounds.
Card Games
Build poker, blackjack, and baccarat games. Learn card shuffling algorithms, hand evaluation logic, and player decision trees that create engaging gameplay.
Dice & Numbers
Create craps, keno, and lottery-style games. Focus on probability mechanics, random number generation, and creating fair but exciting game outcomes.
Live Features
Add real-time multiplayer functionality, chat systems, and leaderboards. Your games will feel connected and social, just like real casino platforms.
September 2025 Development Track
Our next intensive program begins September 16, 2025. Students work on five major projects over sixteen weeks, building a portfolio of games that demonstrate both technical skill and creative problem-solving.
