Step 1: Create your engine

The hizi engine stores your game's math and outcomes in a config file. You build this config in the engine's creator tool. You open the creator tool from the hizi app. Then you attach the config to a Game. This gives an operator something to launch.

What to do

1. Log in to the hizi app at app.hizi.io.
2. Open Hizi Engine Config. Launch the engine's creator tool from there.
3. Build your game in the creator tool: set the reels, features, weights, and RTP (return to player). Save your work as a config. Each config has its own lifecycle (in progress, then publishing, then published) and its own versions.
4. When you are happy with a config, attach it to a Game. Set the Game's Origin to the hizi engine. In the Game's settings, set its status from DRAFT to PUBLISHED.
5. Promote that Game version to sandbox or staging. This uses the same promotion step as every other game type. It makes the version launchable for testing.

TIP

Everything you configure in the hizi app stays a draft until you Publish. Promoting a version to staging is enough to test it yourself through the Game Launcher. Publishing pushes it out to operator sites. Do this last, after Step 5.

Where to read more

• Getting started in the hizi app: see section 1. I want to build games with hizi for this flow. See Hizi Engine Config and Games in What's What in the hizi app for what each section holds.
• hizi engine docs: read the overview to learn how the engine serves pre-computed outcomes. Then read Getting Started and Core Concepts for entries, weights, and scenarios.
