Name the dealing or randomization method, player choices, payout table and supported options. Similar-looking games can require different mathematics and testing when rules or side bets change.
Turn the rules into a decision matrix
| Rule area | Question to resolve |
|---|---|
| Initial state | Which cards, values or positions begin a valid round? |
| Player choice | Which actions are available in each state and at what cost? |
| Timeout | Which action or result applies when no response arrives? |
| Tie or exceptional outcome | Which payout and precedence rule applies? |
| Side bet or additional hand | How is it evaluated and linked to the main round? |
| Interruption | Which state is retained and how play resumes or settles? |
Use the matrix to identify test cases before implementation. The name of a familiar game is not a substitute for the variant's actual rule set.
Separate authoritative state from presentation
The server record should establish the accepted choices and outcome. Animations and messages should present that state accurately, including delayed or recovered actions. A repeated client request must not silently create another stake or decision.
Retain a hand or round history that connects the rule version, actions and result. Support needs enough evidence to explain the outcome without relying on the player's last visible screen.
Accept the rule branches and financial record
- Test every agreed branch in the matrix, including timeouts, ties and exceptional payouts.
- Interrupt and resume representative rounds.
- Compare the history with debits, credits and any reversals in the wallet.
Define the assessment and distribution requirements for the intended version. A change to the variant, side bets or payout rules may change the scope of testing even when the interface looks similar.
Prepare the development package
Agree delivery of rules, mathematical work, assets, client, server, adapter and test evidence. Specify the rights to each component and the team responsible for updates. If several games will share infrastructure, coordinate the RGS design with their state and transaction requirements.
Send the exact variant and payout rules, supported devices and distribution route. List optional features separately for the scope review.
