   • Add a progressive jackpot feature.
   • [X]Create bonus rounds or mini-games triggered by special symbol combinations.
2. Expanded Wallet System:
   • Add a currency exchange feature (eg., convert real money to game tokens).
   • Implement different bet sizes and adjusts payouts accordingly.
3. Testing and balancing:
   • Develop a simulation to test the game's payout rate over many spins.

Building out goals more specifically

5. Backend Development

5.1 Implement a database to store player data and game statistics

• Choose a database system (e.g., PostgreSQL for relational data, MongoDB for flexible schema)
• Design database schema
  • Player table (id, username, email, password_hash, balance, created_at, last_login)
  • Transactions table (id, player_id, amount, type, timestamp)
  • GameSessions table (id, player_id, start_time, end_time, initial_balance, final_balance)
  • GameResults table (id, session_id, spin_number, bet_amount, outcome, winnings)
• Set up database connection in the application
• Implement data access layer (DAL) to interact with the database
• Create database backup and recovery procedures
• Implement data encryption for sensitive information

5.2 Security Measures

• Implement input validation and sanitization to prevent SQL injection and XSS attacks
• Set up proper error handling and logging
• Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing
• Implement multi-factor authentication for added security
• Use secure password hashing (e.g., bcrypt)
• Implement rate limiting and request validation to prevent abuse
