Social Casino Game Development Program
Master the art of creating engaging social casino games through hands-on coding, mentorship, and real-world projects. Build your portfolio while learning from industry professionals.
What You'll Build
This isn't your typical programming bootcamp. Over 16 intensive weeks, you'll work alongside experienced developers to create actual casino games that people want to play. We focus on the technical skills that matter — JavaScript fundamentals, HTML5 canvas manipulation, and game engine architecture.
You'll start with basic slot mechanics and progress to complex multiplayer poker systems. By week 12, most students are debugging their own blackjack implementations and tweaking probability algorithms. It's challenging work, but that's exactly what makes great developers.
Foundation Phase (Weeks 1-4)
- JavaScript ES6+ syntax and modern development practices
- HTML5 Canvas API for 2D graphics rendering
- CSS3 animations and responsive game interfaces
- Git workflow and collaborative coding techniques
- Browser developer tools and debugging strategies
Game Mechanics (Weeks 5-8)
- Random number generation and probability systems
- Slot machine reel mechanics and symbol combinations
- Card game logic for poker and blackjack variations
- Player progression systems and virtual currency
- Sound integration and visual feedback loops
Advanced Development (Weeks 9-12)
- WebSocket implementation for real-time multiplayer
- Database integration with MongoDB and user profiles
- Performance optimization and memory management
- Mobile responsiveness and touch event handling
- API design for game state synchronization
Portfolio Projects (Weeks 13-16)
- Complete slot machine with bonus rounds
- Multiplayer poker room with chat functionality
- Progressive jackpot system implementation
- Mobile-first casino game interface
- Deployment to cloud platforms and production
Your Development Mentors
Dmitri Kowalski
Senior Game Developer & Lead Mentor
Spent eight years building casino platforms for European markets. Dmitri believes in learning through building — his students write more code in week one than most courses cover in a month. Former lead developer at three successful gaming startups.
Hassan Al-Rashid
Full-Stack Developer & Technical Mentor
JavaScript specialist with deep knowledge of game probability systems. Hassan focuses on the mathematical side of casino games — the algorithms that keep players engaged. His background includes work with major online gaming platforms.
Kenji Nakamura
UX Designer & Frontend Specialist
Combines design thinking with technical implementation. Kenji teaches the visual aspects of game development — how animations, sound, and interface design work together to create compelling user experiences. Ten years in digital entertainment.
Real Student Projects
Aurora Slots
Built by our September 2024 cohort, this multiplayer slot machine features custom animations, progressive jackpots, and social chat functionality. The team spent three weeks perfecting the reel physics and another two weeks on the bonus game mechanics.
What makes this project special is the attention to detail — smooth transitions, satisfying sound effects, and a mobile interface that actually works well on phones. The codebase includes over 3,000 lines of carefully structured JavaScript.
