Spin the Game Episode 1 Is Now Live: The Math Behind Casino Games
The first episode of Spin the Game, Fabamaq's podcast about the world of casino games, is now available on YouTube.
For our debut, we chose a topic that everyone has heard of, but few truly understand: the mathematics that defines how a casino game behaves. RTP, house edge, probabilities, and what it actually means when people say "the house always wins."
The Guest: Bruno Madureira, Head of Game Math at Fabamaq
In this episode, host André Costa sits down with Bruno Madureira, Head of Game Math at Fabamaq. He's the person responsible for ensuring that every number in a game makes sense for the operator, the market, and the player.
It's a straight-talking conversation, free of industry jargon. Bruno explains what his work looks like in practice, breaks down some of the most common myths about casino games, and shares perspectives you rarely hear outside the industry.

The question most players should ask before they play, and almost nobody does
