Every game that ships carries our name, which means craft and follow-through are paramount. The role Casino games live or die on feel, and feel is mostly motion. You will animate everything from the smallest symbol wobble to full-screen win sequences, character reactions, bonus feature reveals, and the particle and FX work that turns a payout into a moment.You will work across 2D and 3D pipelines, and you will care as much about timing and easing as you do about the art itself. A win should feel like a win. What you will do Animate slot symbols from idle loops to win states, across classic and premium symbol sets.Build character animation for original games: win reactions, feature triggers, story moments.Design and execute FX: coin showers, explosions, particle systems, screen transitions, big-win celebrations.Own the motion language of a game.
