AGS Portal

2024–25
Product Design & Development

My client, AGS, is a company that produces gaming equipment used in casinos worldwide. The marketing materials and other documents related to their machines was previously scattered across several sites like Wordpress and Dropbox which lacked unison and ease of navigation for their customers. Their ask was a customer portal with a managed user database that centralized these resources while keeping them restricted to the general public. I designed and built the application from scratch to meet their feature requests.

My solution leverages the Auth.js library to configure two separate identity providers: Auth0 for customers and Microsoft Entra ID for employees. User accounts are stored in a Postgres database managed by a Prisma ORM to provide an object-oriented programming layer for interacting with the data.

Registration flow

Customers must register for an account and receive AGS approval before gaining access. The registration flow guides the user through a series of forms to collect their personal and company information.

The page displays "Complete Registration" as a heading, with an email address "nicolai+000@ngb.studio" shown below it. There is an empty text field labeled "Name" and a purple button labeled "Next" at the bottom of the screen.

Portal

The portal’s design is simple and lightweight allowing AGS’s graphics and brand identity to stand out. The page layout utilizes a tile-based grid system which is reused in subsequent pages allowing for reusable components in the frontend. This modular approach creates consistency across the platform and allows for navigation items to be easily added, removed, and reordered to the client’s requests.

The main section is titled "Slot Games" with a search bar and filter options for "Family" and "Class". Below are grid-displayed slot game thumbnails including: Boo Bucks Fangtastic, Open Stud Poker, Fizzy Frenzy, Golden Boat, Dragon Dai Baccarat, Griffin Kingdom, Dollar Shot Diamond, Long Bao Bao, Colossal Stars, Da Da Jin Bao Treasure, Gold Dragon Red, and Jack of Sapphires. Each game card shows the title, subtitle, and class designation (Class 2 or Class 3).

Each game card includes the title, subtitle, and class designations (Class 2 and Class 3).

Admin

These views show only for internal AGS employees and allow them to manage their customer user base. Customers that register for an account using an allowlisted email are granted immediate access without requiring explicit AGS admin approval.
