How to Create a Casino Game: From Idea to Release

The birth of a casino game is a complex process that involves several phases, from concept to launch. Each step requires coordinated efforts between various teams and disciplines, making game development a complex but creatively rewarding journey. There is no single instruction on how to create a provably fair game and bring it to success. However, we will reveal the scheme used by Turbo Games to create our hits.

Crash X: the First Milestone

Turbo Games launched the first B2B crash game Crash X in 2021.

This marked the beginning of our journey into the world of provably fair games and initiated their production cycle. Crash X remains one of the top 5 most popular products even in 2025. This success is due to the well-executed initial phase, which focused on choosing the right mechanics and concept.

It All Starts with an Idea

The team conducted a market analysis and discovered that the entire genre of fast games relies on crash mechanics. This mechanic became the foundation of a separate genre of provably fair casino games, or initial randomness. Turbo Games chose transparency and fairness as its guiding principles for casino games. In this context, we selected the crash mechanic and created Crash X. All subsequent games have been developed using provably fair and RNG mechanics.

Provably Fair uses mathematical algorithms to generate random numbers that cannot be predicted by either the player or the casino. The system ensures fairness and transparency in online games, allowing players to verify the results and confirm that they have not been tampered with.

Great Idea? Scale It Up!

Following the success of Crash X, Turbo Games set out to build a comprehensive catalog of the most popular mechanics without inventing anything new. This included genres like Mines, Roulette, Dice, and more.

"We wanted to introduce something fun, so we added character skins and created Neko. The roulette game featuring a cat and sushi was our first creative experiment. This marked an important step in establishing an original style in the casino market"

8 Stages of Game Development

Turbo Games released more than 40 games and established a sustainable game development cycle over 4 years:

1. Idea The process starts with generating and refining ideas. The team studies competitors, analyzes trends, and pitches concepts. Producers evaluate and prioritize these ideas before approving and assigning tasks.

2. Game Design Document (GDD) The Game Designer develops a detailed document outlining the game’s concept and mechanics. This stage involves collaboration to shape the creative vision into a feasible game through iterative revisions.

3. Backend Development This stage focuses on coding the game’s core functionality and writing necessary documentation. Testing ensures the game operates correctly and meets return-to-player standards.

4. Visual Design Details The visual identity of the game is created, including naming, interface design, graphics, and animations, to make the game appealing and user-friendly.

5. Copywriting & Sound Design Game texts such as rules and instructions are written, and sound elements are produced. These are reviewed to align with the game’s overall design.

6. Frontend Development The initial playable version of the game is built, followed by playtesting and necessary fixes to ensure smooth gameplay and user experience.

7. Pre-Release Promotional materials and presentations are prepared. The game undergoes final tests in a staging environment, and marketing content is developed to support the launch.

8. Release The game is deployed to production, configured in the back office, and undergoes final checks to confirm everything is ready before it goes live.

It should be noted that this is the complete cycle for creating an original game. However, it is possible to develop templates of existing games and make reskins. This process is faster and is a good solution if a certain mechanic has proven to be successful.

"We love all the games we develop and always treat each one as a potential hit. We would like to create as many visual variations as possible when introducing a new mechanic so that everyone can find something they like. For example, developing multiple skins for a single game and releasing them simultaneously. This helps us better understand why a particular game appeals to people"

— Producer at Turbo Games

Live Your Game!

There is no single manual on how to develop the most popular game. It is necessary to conduct business calculations but also take risks with creative experiments. Sometimes the most popular game might be the one you didn’t bet on, or the one you invested the most in may bring less return. But this is the life cycle of projects: it can drive you a little crazy, but it also brings catharsis. Therefore, if you want to create your own game, do it with passion and excitement. This is the key to successful self-realization for team members and customer satisfaction.

Art director, Ksenia — about AI

There’s a lot of talk about AI developing at the speed of light and soon taking everyone’s jobs.
