Slot Game Mathematician

The Slot Game Mathematician will be responsible for developing game math models that balance player entertainment, business profitability, and regulatory requirements. You will work closely with game designers, producers, developers, and compliance teams to deliver games that are both fun to play and commercially successful.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design & Develop Game Math Models – Create engaging and mathematically sound slot game logic, including reel layouts, symbol distributions, pay tables, hit frequency, volatility, and bonus features.
• Simulations & Analysis – Use statistical modelling and simulation tools to verify game performance against target KPIs (RTP, volatility index, feature frequency, etc.).
• Regulatory Compliance – Ensure all game math adheres to jurisdictional requirements and prepare detailed math documentation for certification and regulatory submission.
• Collaboration with Creative & Technical Teams – Partner with artists, designers, and engineers to ensure the math model aligns with the game's creative vision and technical constraints.
• Optimization – Analyse live game performance data to identify opportunities for tuning and improving engagement, retention, and monetization.
• Innovation – Research emerging slot mechanics, trends, and market data to develop new mathematical concepts and innovative game features.
• Documentation & Communication – Produce clear, precise mathematical specifications for developers and maintain records for internal review and regulatory approval.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mathematics, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Proven experience designing and implementing slot game math models (online, land-based, or social).
• Strong proficiency in probability theory, combinatorics, and statistical modelling.
• Hands-on experience with simulation software/tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python, R, Excel with VBA).
• Deep understanding of RTP, volatility, hit frequency, and progressive jackpot modelling.
• Knowledge of gaming regulatory requirements in multiple jurisdictions (preferred).
• Excellent problem-solving skills with strong attention to detail.
• Ability to communicate complex math concepts to non-mathematical team members.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with progressive and linked jackpot systems.
• Familiarity with multiple slot mechanics (ways-to-win, cluster pays, megaways, hold-and-spin, etc.).
• Knowledge of market trends in both land-based and online slot games.
• Experience with large-scale data analysis and A/B testing in live games.
