I read your correspondence - it's interesting. I've never looked at the casino industry from this side. I always thought that UX is more important there and marketing rules, but it turns out that the technical part is almost the main one. I was especially surprised that the developers work with financial flows almost like in fintech.

A year ago, I moved to a product team that develops a platform for several online casinos in Latham and Asia, before that I worked in fintech for almost 6 years. So: I also thought that gambling was like "made a slot, screwed on the payment and went to have tea." But it turned out to be exactly the opposite. According to https://starofmysore.com/the-role-of...nline-casinos/, the role of developers in online casinos is a completely separate discipline that requires both systemic thinking, and speed, and an understanding of business. Firstly, online casinos are highly loaded systems. We are talking about tens of thousands of requests per minute, while most of them are transactional: bets, payments, accruals, verification. Mistakes here are expensive, because they concern money.

Guys, hello everyone. I work in outsourcing, but now I increasingly notice that many of my friends from IT are leaking into gambling. Especially into online casino development. And it seems that this is not exactly the area that is associated with engineering sophistication, but at the same time they pay well there, and they say there are enough tasks. So I became interested - how important is the role of programmers in this industry? Because, if you think about it, what's special there: you show slots, spin the reels, calculate the winnings - what's difficult about it, right? But maybe I don't understand something. Those who worked or are working - tell me honestly: is there really room to grow as a developer there or is it just stupid maintenance of business logic and endless bug fixes?
