The Mathematics of Slots - Configurations, Combinations, Probabilities (Paperback): Catalin Barboianu The Mathematics of Slots - Configurations, Combinations, Probabilities (Paperback)
Catalin Barboianu
R1,075 R909 Discovery Miles 9 090 Save R166 (15%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This eighth book of the author on gambling math presents in accessible terms the cold mathematics behind the sparkling slot machines, either physical or virtual. It contains all the mathematical facts grounding the configuration, functionality, outcome, and profits of the slot games. Therefore, it is not a so-called how-to-win book, but a complete, rigorous mathematical guide for the slot player and also for game producers, being unique in this respect. As it is primarily addressed to the slot player, its goal is to present practical applications of the mathematical models of slot games, in order to provide numerical results that a player can use as criteria for gaming decisions or just as information for any slot game and any predicted winning event. These results are focused on probability and expected value, these being the most important parameters for decisional criteria in slots. The book is packed with plenty of figures, tables, and formulas. The content is organized so that readers can skip the theoretical parts and go picking the practical results (numerical, in tables of values where possible, or ready-to-compute formulas) for the desired situation. The practical results are gathered in the last chapter, titled "Practical Applications and Numerical Results," the largest part of the book, for the most popular categories of slot machines, namely with 3, 5, 9, and 16 reels. Any other category of slot games is covered in the theoretical part of the book, where the general formulas apply not only to existing slot games, but also to possible future slot games of any design and configuration. The author does not just throw the slot mathematics to the audience and run away, but offers an ultimate practical contribution with the chapter "How to estimate the number of stops and the symbol distribution on a reel," a surprise for both players and producers, where one can see that mathematics provides players with some statistical methods as well as methods based on physical measurements for retrieving these missing data. Having these data along with the mathematical results of this book, anyone can generate the PAR sheet of any slot machine. In the last decade, mathematics has been taken more and more seriously into account in gaming, as being the essence that governs the games of chance and the only rigorous tool providing information on optimal play, where possible. For the popular game of slots, mathematics already fulfilled its duty by providing all the data that it can provide and that cannot be found on the display of the slot machines - it is all here in this book.

How to Win at Gambling - Easiest Methods for Recreational Gamblers (Paperback): Greg Elder How to Win at Gambling - Easiest Methods for Recreational Gamblers (Paperback)
Greg Elder
R174 Discovery Miles 1 740 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

If you want to become a full-time professional gambler it takes a lot of time, knowledge, and practice to ensure that you have an advantage over the casino. However, if you are just a recreational gambler looking for the best ways to win money in a casino, this is the book for you. I've made the methods as simplistic as possible. The goal of this book is to show gamblers how to play at "even odds" without having to make many changes. A gambler can't ask for more than that without spending a great deal of time studying and practicing the games. It does help if you have a basic understanding of blackjack and the different poker hands before you read this book. This book goes beyond the simple bets that one needs to make in order to have a realistic chance of going home a winner. There are many other aspects to gambling that can't be ignored if you want to be successful. Such as: Money Management Bankroll Self-Discipline Gambling Sessions Gambling Without the Guilt Emotional Control These are all components of becoming a gambler that has a realistic chance of winning when you gamble. There are some people that just want to go to the casino to have a good time and they don't care if they lose money. In fact, most of them expect to lose. That is certainly acceptable if that is what you choose to do, but hopefully this book will show you that with a few simple changes you can increase your chance of success greatly. I'm not going to make silly promises of you winning thousands of dollars, but why should you let the casino have a 10-15% advantage over you when there are ways to reduce that to close to 0%?

Ask Dr. BlackJack By Sam Barrington What do the Readers Think of "Ask Dr Blackjack"? "I struggled to stay even playing Blackjack and thought I could be a better player. After reading "Ask Dr Blackjack" my game really picked up when I instituted the extra plays in the book." Phillip Cuffman - Attorney "I have travelled all over the world gambling with my husband. We have both played professionally and done well, thought we knew all there was to know about Blackjack. After reading "Ask Dr Blackjack" we discovered plays that only enhanced our winning experiences. This book is well worth the price." Margaret Hinson - Midtown Billiards, Since 1940 (Owner) "Blackjack is a hobby of mine. I enjoy the game but had trouble grasping some of the methods involved. After reading "Ask Dr Blackjack" I understood why I was supposed to make certain plays. Barrington's logic was a big boost for my game." Dustin Monday - Computer Systems Engineer "As a recreational Blackjack player, Barrington's insight on the correct plays has made a great difference in how far my gambling dollars go when I visit a Casino. I just wish I would have found this book sooner." Greg Pumphrey - Architect "This book was extremely helpful in advancing my Blackjack winnings but the inside stories about the Casino activity is what made the book." Owen Ross - Retired Banker This book would bot have been possible without all the hard work of Billy Mathys and Arkansas Graphics, Inc.

Are you tired of searching for the hidden "secret" to winning millions of dollars on slot machines? Are you tired of being lied to about a "system" that guarantees you will win money every time you play slot machines? Well I am, so I decided to put the truth out. The bad news is there is no "secret system" that exists where you can beat the casinos playing slot machines. The good news is there is a system (for some reason people love the word "system" when it comes to gambling methods, so I'll stick with it), where you can leave the casino with money in your pocket, and not have that empty hollow feeling inside because you just lost more money than you can afford to lose. This is where I come in. With the system I've developed, you can still play slot machines and have a good time, but using these methods, you're more than likely going to come home with some money.

PREFACE Dear friends, THE GREAT WALL is a game invented by Frank Wong. Original Chinese mahjong has been attributed to Confucius, the great philosopher and teacher of ancient China. Chinese mahjong has been popular in China and in many other Asian countries since its creation, but for people with English and other language backgrounds, traditional Chinese mahjong can be hard to learn because of its design, characters, and the complicated scoring system. Mr. Frank Wong has had a strong desire to bring mahjong, a part of Chinese culture, to people from other cultures since he arrived in Australia in 1991. After many years of studying and understanding of other cultures, he eventually fulfilled his dream with THE GREAT WALL, an international mahjong game that has been patented and is now ready for people around the world to play. THE GREAT WALL is designed with English and other language background players in mind by using the world's most popular logical design. THE GREAT WALL has a traditional cultural background mixed with modern ideas. The game is easy to learn and lots of fun. Becoming an expert player comes with practice, especially when playing against those you consider to be good. THE GREAT WALL excels in developing thinking skills and intelligence and is quite different from other games. When playing, players will be highly entertainment by the game's fascinating varieties of formations, sensational designs, and unexpected amazing changes during the course of the game. THE GREAT WALL is played by 4 individuals, and as well as luck, it requires skill, concentration, alertness, prompt reaction, and good judgment. THE GREAT WALL game set now is available in 2 forms-cards and plastic pieces. For more information, please email [email protected]. It is important to read the rules before playing...enjoy MRWONG AUSTRALIA PTY LTD

"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book." Groucho Marx In 1957, Vance Packard wrote. "Our American life, through a large scale effort to use psychiatry and the social sciences to influence and manipulate buying, has had impressive success below our level of awareness." Since 1957, there is great evidence that our culture has become a harbinger of emotional exploitation in more forms than we can recognize and irrational profit taking in more forms than we can image. In these times, investing in a charity is not easy within a gambling culture that has glamorized wind fall profits, and run away CEO salaries. It certainly worsens when these efforts become unfettered, and ignored by business efforts that not only fail to provide a product of value but offer no product at all. This madness can only succeed by turning huge profits through the creation of cannibalistic markets and non-profit corporations that feed on gambling addictions which buy moments of hope as they excite and exploit risk instincts. This baiting continues to validate at warp speed the assumption that we are a nation of impulse buyers. We reverse like a school of starving gold fish fearful of the vibrations of mere foot steps and unable to notice bread crumbs on top of the water. No doubt someone has convinced us that with every failure there will always be another roll of the 'dice.' The more relevant question of interest is who will roll those dice on your internet gambling site? No doubt we have become more reactive but worse we have become less knowledgeable. This writing is offered to encourage your thoughtfulness about your money and who andwhat you empower as you give it away.

Win the lottery, Create More Wealth, and Be a Happier Person. You need a little extra money so you play the lottery. You see other people winning. Unfortunately, you're not, so you try harder. You try harder by playing more numbers, which results in spending more money, and still you don't win. Losing money makes you feel anxious, angry and frustrated. What started as a pleasant pastime to make a little money is now no fun at all. This system will help you: By using yoga meditation to predict winning numbers, we use a proven technique that for millennia has been used to develop prophetic vision or the ability to predict future events. By using modern numerical tools to rank play and monitor your improvement in this ancient Craft. By encouraging you to share your meditative and lottery prediction experiences, so others may learn from your trials and tribulations as you aspire to improve your predictive abilities. By giving you an understanding of the tradition of the Craft, you will learn firsthand the immeasurable power this method had in the historical past and how and why these yoga meditation techniques were hidden from us in the west for over 1600 years. By working in groups to win a Mega lottery you take advantage of a scientifically proven effect of group meditation known as The Super Radiance Effect. Why should you buy this book? Practicing the Ninth Siddhi will help keep your lottery play in perspective. You will spend less, win more and feel good about playing. You will discover and experience the power and consciousness beyond the ego. This is the main point of the book, the principle behind the Craft. Importantly, by using this meditation technique, you will experience less stress in your life allowing you to make better life choices. You will develop over time a mindset, which produces wealth, prosperity and abundance. Best of all, you will experience greater inner-directedness, which will widen and deepen your capacity to love. Why doesn't the average player win more lotteries? The average player believes that the lottery can be predicted on the surface level of the mind. It cannot. No one has. No one will. Generally speaking, fear and anxiety are the root cause of suffering and lottery losses for the average player. Losses lead to trying harder, which leads to spending more, which leads to larger losses. The cycle is repeated increasing fear, anxiety, and frustration. Break this losing cycle. Experience a winning mindset. Take a step forward to wealth, prosperity, and abundance. Meditate, Chart, Spend Less, Win More, and be a happier person. Personal Note: I personally used this meditation system to win both a pick 3 lottery and a pick four game. I document my wins in the book. This system worked for me. It will work for you.
