The retail sportsbook at Catfish Bend Casino in Burlington, Iowa will begin the process of undergoing a name and management change from PointsBet to Fanatics Sportsbook. In the coming weeks, Fanatics Betting and Gaming will install new self-service betting kiosks from Suzohapp to better serve customers. The new look Fanatics Sportsbook at Catfish Bend Casino will continue to be an upscale lounge and the place to watch the game in comfort with a multiscreen video and odds display wall, a sports bar and slot machines.

Andrew Cardno, Dr. Ralph Thomas and Dr. A.K. Singh Release Their 12th Book: “The Math That Gaming Made, Compendium”

 

Well-known and accredited gaming and analytics experts Andrew Cardno and Dr. Ralph Thomas of QCI have proudly released their 12th book, “The Math That Gaming Made, Compendium,” a definitive exploration of the mathematical frameworks and strategies that have shaped the modern gaming industry. This latest volume includes brand-new articles, expanded content, and a greatly enhanced gaming glossary, offering readers an even deeper dive into the world of gaming mathematics.

A Comprehensive Exploration of Mathematics and Gaming

“The Math That Gaming Made, Compendium” serves as an essential guide to the intersection of mathematics and gaming. It delves into how advanced analytics, mathematical modeling, and data science have revolutionized the gaming landscape, compiling decades of research and insights. This newly updated edition features fresh discussions, more real-world applications, and a wealth of cutting-edge material that will benefit industry professionals, data enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by gaming mathematics.

A Legacy of Expertise

Authors Andrew Cardno and Dr. Ralph Thomas bring together years of experience and groundbreaking research, offering readers unparalleled insight into the role of math in optimizing player experiences and casino operations.

“This book is a culmination of over 20 years of innovation in the gaming industry,” said Andrew Cardno. “In addition to highlighting how data and analytics have evolved, we’ve packed this edition with new articles, expanded content, and an extensive gaming glossary, providing readers with tools and knowledge for real-world gaming environments.”

A Must-Read for Industry Professionals

Industry expert Buddy Frank shared his praise for the new volume: “One of the things I love about software is when updates are released you gain new features and helpful add-ons. In publishing, once a book is released, that’s about it. Occasionally, there will be a second or maybe even a third edition. So, it is somewhat surprising, but very welcomed, that the authors of “The Math That Gaming Made” will debut Book 12 at the annual Indian Gaming Association’s Conference and Tradeshow held in San Diego. I loved the skinny little Book 1. This new volume seems to be more than an inch thick and has plenty of new content. If you work in Slots, Casino Marketing, Hosting, Operations, Leadership or Analytics, don’t miss this latest version.”

“The Math That Gaming Made, Compendium” is available now through Amazon.
