S02E02 Game design: striking the balance between engagement and player protection | M. Makuszewski & L. Oblak

In this episode, we talk about responsible game design in the gambling industry, using the slot game Ale Fajny Bober as a case study. Our guests, Luka and Maciej, explain how responsibility influenced the development process of the game and how they balanced ethical considerations with business goals. We discuss key elements of player engagement, the impact of game mechanics, and whether responsibility in design means giving up certain features. The conversation also covers how player data can be used to both enhance gameplay and support player protection, as well as how regulatory expectations are shaping the future of gambling game design.
