Wireframing an iPad Casino App

Focusing on planning functionality and layout without design is the most efficient way of concentrating decision markers (especially business or product-owners) to agree on functionality without distraction. Think: function over form.

Personally I love to use traditional pen and paper for wireframing. How about you?

First launch feature areas

This is the main ‘shop window’ to the experience. On first launch, the user to launched in the gambling casino world. Pre-selected games adopt the ‘parallax scrolling’ technique and occupy the prime real estate. There is also functionality to drill down via category types. Account Management and Help are all ‘front-of-store’, as is the ability to push sign up and login promotions.

All important login and registration

Building a consistent experience is important. For that reason, these Login and Registration pages utilise the web-based process that other products within the company group also employ. These screens are ported in via web-view. They are mobile friendly, and suit the continuous flow concept I am trying to achieve.

Best use for iOS modal screens

Delivering information whilst keeping the user within his/her flow is also important  That is were modal screens come into their own. Here, I have used this iOS function device for:

• Game Detail – Game icon and game description plus the added value of screen shits and where possible, movie files.
• Related games – The ‘related games’ section is on shown on request from the ‘Games detail’ page.
• Promo Detail – Depending on the promotion, this screen would show push markers to individual games or sign-up bonu

A simple and clean account management process

Following best practise, the My Account section is activated when the user tapes their avatar. This allow acces to:

• Deposit
• Withdrawal
• Transactional history

Playing the game

To the meat of the meal! Here, the iPads retina display proportionally fills the screen with the game. Top navigation remains via the  header bar displaying game crucial information, including login status and account balance. Should the user wish to switch games then the Quick links are always visible at the foot of the screen.
