Innovation in game design is inherently very risky. Bringing innovation to centuries old casino games has even greater risk. Jeffrey Hyman, the co-founder of Idle Games and the creator of Fresh Deck Poker provides an in-depth and data driven examination of what worked and what didn't when launching a new mobile & social casino product into a mature market. Jeffrey provides both the story and data behind a wide spectrum of challenging decisions including: seemingly qualitative only decisions like art style to the place of random number generators to the temptation of stacking the deck.
