Combinatorialmath.ca is a website devoted to the mathematical analysis of gambling games. This is a joint project of experts in mathematics and amateurs in the field of gambling. It features answers to questions about casino dice, roulette, slot machines, blackjack, poker games, etc. Our goal is to study the mathematical model of gambling. We investigate all possible probabilities of a particular outcome in a game. Also, our experts develop various algorithms to test them in different casinos, both land and websites.
