Winning math and session dynamics
An understandable explanation for the independence of spins, player error (gambler's fallacy), "cluster illusion" and regression to the average. How the RNG works, why the series does not predict a future outcome, and how limits and discipline are useful instead of "dogons" and superstitions.
Winning math and session dynamics
Practical guide: what is the distribution of winnings, how to count RTP, variance and frequency of hits from it, how to estimate bonus waiting intervals, plan a bankroll and session duration, and why quantiles and the "passport of probabilities" are more useful than intuition.
Winning math and session dynamics
We explain why the variance is "stronger" than any strategy: spin independence, negative expectation, the law of large numbers against standard error, the risk of ruin and the role of bet size (including Kelly). What can really be changed by strategy and what cannot be changed.
Winning math and session dynamics
Step-by-step methodology: how to formalize the mechanics of the bonus (freespins, multipliers, collectors, "hold & spin"), choose a probabilistic model, calculate the probability of winning ≥ a given threshold and expectation (EV), as well as estimate the spread and risk of drawdown.
Winning math and session dynamics
Why run a strategy in a demo before a real game: what exactly to measure (RTP samples, frequency of hits, intervals to significant events, drawdowns), how to set up a correct experiment without self-deception, how many spins you need, how to avoid retraining for a "successful" sample and how the demo differs from a real game.
Winning math and session dynamics
Step-by-step workshop: how to model backs and bonuses in Excel, count the actual RTP and frequency of hits, build waiting intervals, evaluate drawdowns and compare strategies (flat vs progression). Ready-made table structures, formulas, what-if analysis, Monte Carlo, Solver and report templates.
Winning math and session dynamics
A step-by-step approach to Monte Carlo simulations: how to formalize the rules of the game and strategy, set the distribution of outcomes, run tens of thousands of sessions, measure EV, variance, drawdowns and the risk of ruin, compare strategies correctly (total random numbers, bootstrap, permutation tests) and formalize the results without self-deception.
Winning math and session dynamics
An understandable explanation of how simulations are constructed and applied: from RNG simulations and payout distributions to Monte Carlo, Markov processes, variance reduction, and A/B estimates. What they show (EV, quantiles, drawdowns, risk of ruin), where they make mistakes and how to achieve reproducibility without self-deception.
Winning math and session dynamics
A step-by-step guide: what is a "winning series" in terms of probabilities, how to correctly measure and interpret it, which metrics to count (HF, series lengths, maximum series, quantiles), how to test the randomness hypothesis (geometric distribution, Monte Carlo, tests on series), and how to apply conclusions for limits and session scheduling - without superstition.
Winning math and session dynamics
Step-by-step methodology for long-term assessment: setting goals and hypotheses, choosing the correct metrics (EV, bank growth rate, risk of ruin, quantiles of results, drawdowns), experiment design (batches, out-of-sample, A/A tests), calculating power and confidence intervals, controlling shifts and traps (retraining, multiple comparisons).
Winning math and session dynamics
A practical guide to early detection of degradation: what metrics to monitor (EV, median, quantiles, risk of ruin, drawdowns), how to set up control cards (CUSUM/Shewhart), sliding windows and change-point tests, what to consider a "signal," how to exclude false alarms and what to do next (pause, decrease rate, retest in demo).
Winning math and session dynamics
Why record the results of each game session: what metrics to collect (RTP samples, HF, ≥×10 intervals, drawdowns, duration), how it helps to see the variance without self-deception, track strategy degradation, compare slots and build limits. Ready-made log fields, "session passport" template, basic formulas and data quality checklists.
Winning math and session dynamics
Step-by-step methods for estimating the frequency of the freespin trigger: from accurate counting by drum tapes and "scatters" on each drum to approximations (binomial, geometry), empirical evaluation by logs and Monte Carlo. Formulas for different mechanics (3 + scatter, 2 + scatter + wild, only on drums 2-4, Megaways) and the translation of probability into "waiting in time" (median/average interval).
Winning math and session dynamics
Practical guide: how to "read" the paytable and turn it into numbers - evaluate RTP by base game and bonuses, frequency of hits, strength of characters and lines, interval to significant events, volatility. Parsing lines vs ways/Megaways, wild/scatter/multipliers, cascades. Ready-made formulas, simplified approximations and a "slot passport" template for one paytable.
Winning math and session dynamics
Step-by-step approach: how to translate like/dislike into numbers - compare slots by RTP, volatility, frequency of hits and bonuses, waiting for intervals, quantiles of payments and drawdown profile. Ready-made criteria for goals (short session, "skid hunt," grind with cashback), mini-formulas and a "slot passport" template.
