Thnx all For rendering I am using OpenGL ES through SDL2 library. My game is pure c++ no Qt or whatever.
I have created a common framework (graphics & logic) for gambling games. Since SDL2 library currently has a bug and doesn't support landscape under Jolla have decided to create a roulette, in portrait. For the roulette game which is simple (only 37 numbers) I could simplify my RNG, but have to think what to do with slot games (eg 5 reels with 12 symbols per reel out of 13 different symbols, which is common) and bingo selecting 5-8 numbers out of 40 and at the same time maintaining game's "payback" percentage. Have to think about refactoring the code. Thnx!
