Slot Mechanics Designer

Use this skill to convert mechanic ideas into deterministic state/trigger/action specs that engineering and math teams can implement safely.

Workflow

1. Define mechanic scope and constraints.

• Capture core loop, feature list, target experience, and hard constraints (max win, duration caps, retrigger limits).
• Separate product goals from implementation assumptions.

2. Model states and transitions first.

• Define explicit states (base, feature, bonus, terminal as needed).
• Define transition events and guard conditions.
• Require deterministic entry and exit paths for each feature.

3. Define trigger and action contracts.

• For each mechanic, specify triggerEvent, entryState, targetState, and actions.
• Keep action payloads explicit (for example spins/multiplier/value).
• Enforce retrigger and cooldown behavior explicitly.
