31%
63.8/ 100
1 Share of the gambling games designer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the lottery operator profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A gambling games designer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a lottery operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- create gambling games concepts
- follow ethical code of conduct of gambling
- games rules
- legal standards in gambling
What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A gambling games designer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a lottery operator background worth leading with.
- already held create gambling games concepts communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held solve problems in gambling through digital means working with computers
- already held legal standards in gambling business, administration and law
- already held games rules business, administration and law
- already held follow ethical code of conduct of gambling assisting and caring
All 5 carried skills, including the 4 the gambling games designer role treats as required.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
