Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Design and document math models for slot games, including pay tables, reel strips, feature triggers, and bonus structures, with clear demonstration of probabilities and Return to Player (RTP) through theoretical calculations and simulations.Modify the existing math models as per the requirements.
• Collaborate closely with game designers and other mathematicians to brainstorm new mechanics and features, assessing mathematical feasibility, risk profile, and expected player experience (e.g., hit rate, volatility, pacing).
• Build, run, and refine simulations to verify math models, stress-test edge cases, and gather performance statistics (e.g., win size distributions, session length, feature frequency).
• Work hand-in-hand with software engineers and math test engineers to ensure accurate implementation of math models, including debugging discrepancies between theoretical results and live game behaviour.
• Support regulatory compliance by preparing math documentation, responding to questions, and helping address issues raised during internal testing or certification.
• Iterate on game math throughout development, tuning parameters based on internal feedback, playtests, and early performance data while preserving the intended player experience, RTP targets, and jurisdictional requirements.
• Stay informed about slot games and market trends, analysing math structures and features from products and sharing insights with the team.

Who can apply

• 0–3 years of professional experience in applied mathematics, probability, statistics, combinatorics, or a closely related field; strong new graduates with relevant projects and interests will be considered.
• Experience designing or modeling systems with randomness (e.g., games, simulations, casino math, trading models, or similar).
• Demonstrated interest in slot machines, casino games, and/or game design—through professional experience, academic work, personal projects, or hobbyist game design (slots, table games such as blackjack, poker, baccarat, etc.) is preferred.
• Prior experience in the game or casino industry is preferred but not required; relevant internships, academic projects, or personal projects will be considered.
