I don't think anyone working in this industry is morally responsible for the actions of others resulting from others' free will. The review you posted is sad in that it points out the reviewer's stupidity, not industry employees' immorality. The reviewer should have gotten a free game instead of wasting money on one that requires money. But that wouldn't be gambling and money is the difference between regular video games and slot machines--that's obvious.
This is how our economy and capitalism in general work. There is no room for morality in such a system (though that's not to say there shouldn't be). By your same logic, employees of health insurance companies should be held responsible for their companies actions leading to the preventable death of their customers. Employees working for aircraft companies should be held responsible for the deaths their armed fighters cause. And the guy making minimum wage at the gas station should further be held responsible for the actions of his parent company and the thousands of death they caused. These are all ridiculous things, as is expecting someone who has worked on gambling games to feel morally irresponsible for doing nothing wrong.
"stupidity". how narrow minded and shallow of you. did you know gambling addiction is the hardest addiction to break? our monkey brains are programmed to not understand probability and get addicted to it. some people are more vulnerable to this genetically than others.
