24%
76.2/ 100
1 Share of the gaming inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the gambling games designer 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 gaming inspector role treats 5 of its required skills as things a gambling games designer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- demonstrate games
- follow ethical code of conduct of gambling
- games rules
- legal standards in gambling
- report gaming incidents
What stands in the way is 16 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A gaming inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a gambling games designer background worth leading with.
- already held demonstrate games communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held report gaming incidents information skills
- already held adapt developed game to the market information skills
- already held apply gaming psychology communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held legal standards in gambling business, administration and law
- already held games rules business, administration and law
All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the gaming inspector 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.
