These are games that have single try gameplay cycle. You take an action; it could be just simply clicking on a button and let the wheel spin, get a gacha drop or even unbox a loot pack yourself. Then receive an immediate reward; flashy visuals, a prize to claim then dopamine! It seems that you need to signup for an account to claim said prizes. This is the flow of client acquisition.

There were a lot of variations of these games during my stint with a marketing organization like the popular spin and win wheel, an ongbao being opened or a scratch card.. well, being scratched. But what I particularly gravitate to is the kind where there is a 3D model in it. Made the models and actions in blender then export it in gltf format then feed it to gltfjsx to be used with react. It was still a very visual and manual task to orchestrate the movement of the objects. Some models comes with their own actions but for custom ones, you need to make it from scratch.

The games are relatively simple (it depends). Just a simple action from the user, a little beep boops from the api to determine the payload (if any); some smoke and mirrors from the rubeGoldberg machine (the model animation) then presto! The user now receives their prize.

Hopefully I find my way into some prize for my own and that rush of dopamine too.
