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.
