Abstract: The innovations herein concern workflow improvements for a hosted gaming environment to provide improved flexibility, scalability, and data security. In particular, a hosted gaming platform may be used to provide backend data services, such as the determination of spin results for slot-based games, to a number of different players and/or game types, while maintaining a consistent and seamless user experience. According to some embodiments, a hosted gaming platform may receive a first spin request from a current round of a first gameplay session executing at a frontend gaming client and then execute the first spin request to produce one or more spin results. The hosted gaming platform may then return the one or more spin results to the frontend gaming client, wherein the one or more spin results arrive at the frontend gaming client during a first reel spin duration of the first gameplay session at the frontend gaming client.
