Title: Simulation for Casino Game Analysis
Speaker:Mark Bollman

Abstract: Every casino game is based on a mathematical foundation. Analyzing some gambling options is a matter of applying simple probability rules, but some more complicated wagers defy simple mathematical analysis or are far easier to understand if we use experimental rather than theoretical probability. In this talk, we shall consider some games where computer simulation of outcomes gives information that is acceptably accurate and provides useful insight into the value of these games to the player and the casino.
