frog design collaborated with a gaming machine manufacturer to design a back-end system to address the needs of casino floor managers. As casinos migrate to server-based slot machines, they also need to transform their back-end systems. The frog team conducted user research and designed a new system of floor management software. Our design helped optimize the experience of casino workers, pushed the brand envelop of the gaming provider within their industry, and won a Productivity Award from Global Gaming Expo in 2007.
