Part 1: The Game (10 marks)
In this assignment, you and one partner will create a game. The game must be a casino-type game where players
compete individually against the house. Usually, players bet a fixed amount and could win various amounts, or
lose their bet. Your game must have a theoretical probability, unlike carnival games, which involve different levels
of skill.
 The physical game must fit on a single student desk; make it fun and attractive
 Clear written instructions which players will use to learn your game;
 A list of winning probabilities must be available for the players.
 (Most) payouts must be listed on your betting board.

 Explain how to play your game.
 Calculate all probability distributions and expectations.
 Explain some of your calculations using specific examples
 Conduct empirical simulations and collect statistical probabilities which should support your
theoretical probabilities
 Graph your theoretical and statistical probability distributions on the same set of axes to compare your
results
 Discuss possible improvements
 All parts listed above are complete and well organized
 Limit on number of pages
