Andrew Cardno, Dr. Ralph Thomas, Dr. A.K. Singh, and Hanna McCall Announce the Release of their 14th Book: The Math That Gaming Made — Compendium, Full-Color Edition
Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI) announced the publication of The Math That Gaming Made — Compendium, Full-Color Edition, the definitive reference on casino analytics authored by Andrew Cardno, Dr. Ralph Thomas, Dr. A.K. Singh, Hanna McCall, and Buddy Frank.
After 18 years of continuous research and 11 acclaimed titles, award-winning data visionaries Cardno and Thomas have fused their complete body of work into one illustrated compendium. This milestone Book 14 in the celebrated series distills the science of casino analytics into a single, essential guide designed for every role on the gaming floor.
“This Compendium unites nearly two decades of field-tested knowledge into a full-color playbook that executives, operators, and analysts alike can use immediately. It is not just a consolidation of our prior work, but an evolution — with updated techniques, executive-ready dashboards, and a forward-looking lens on where gaming analytics is headed,” said Andrew Cardno, QCI Co-Founder & CTO.
Key Features of the Full-Color Compendium
• The Entire Series, Unified – Insights from 11 previous books are synthesized, updated, cross-indexed, and presented in color.
• 18 Years of Field Notes – Hundreds of anonymized stories from Las Vegas, Macau, tribal, and route markets reveal what worked, what failed, and why.
• Executive-Ready Visuals – Heatmaps, dashboards, and storyboards translate complex math into instantly actionable decisions.
• The Industry’s Best Glossary – A 50-page reference by veteran operator Buddy Frank demystifies acronyms, metrics, and buzzwords.
• Forward-Looking Perspective – Examines how new tools and changing player behavior will redefine casino operations in the coming decade.
“The glossary in this book is far more than a list of terms — it’s a powerful tool for bridging communication across departments. By clearly defining the language of casino analytics, it empowers executives to make better, faster decisions and align their teams around a shared understanding of the data driving their business,” said Buddy Frank, veteran gaming executive and contributor to the Compendium.
“This book creates a common language across the organization. From the boardroom to the slot floor, it is a unified guide for activating data and driving measurable success,” said Dr. Ralph Thomas, QCI Co-Founder & CEO.
The book is available now on Amazon and through Quick Custom Intelligence — and attendees of the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) can pick up a copy at QCI Booth #2440.
