Abstract: Games of chance provide a rich source of questions in applied probability. The field of casino game development, much like gambling itself, is a high-risk proposition that carries a very small probability of high reward for the designer of a successful new game. This talk will examine a number of nonstandard casino and lottery games and the mathematics involved to analyze them. Examples are drawn from card games, dice games, and lotteries.
