Game Mathematician (iGaming / Slots)
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Design and calculate mathematical models for slot games (RTP, volatility, hit rate, max win).
- Build and balance core game elements: paytables, reels/weights, wild & scatter logic, free spins, respins, multipliers, bonus features.
- Prepare complete mathematical documentation for implementation: formulas, rules, tables, edge cases, configurations.
- Run and analyze Monte Carlo simulations to validate RTP, payout distribution, and volatility.
- Prepare math validation reports.
- Support developers and QA during integration and testing phases.
- Research iGaming trends and competitor mechanics.
- Participate in the full game lifecycle (from concept to release).
- Analyze player behavior using mathematical and statistical data.
Requirements:
- Commercial experience in slot math/casino game mathematics.
- Strong understanding of probability theory, combinatorics, and statistics.
- Clear understanding of RTP structure (base vs bonus contribution), volatility management, and feature triggers.
- Ability to produce clear and well-structured technical documentation for engineering teams.
- Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and ownership of results.
- Confident knowledge of Python.
- Experience building simulation scripts/tools (config-driven, reproducible simulations, result export).
- Experience with jackpot / progressive models.
- Understanding of compliance and regulatory requirements in iGaming.
