Research Papers

A formal paper on blackjack basic strategy as a compressed decision policy derived from expected-value maximization under rule-constrained information.

A long-form analysis of PRNGs, virtual reels, RTP structure, near-misses, and the deterministic architecture behind modern slot algorithms.

A long-form paper on baccarat roadmaps, hidden state, card-removal limits, and why visual pattern systems do not create positive expectation.

A long-form paper on VIP baccarat hold variance, conditional risk, EVT tail modeling, and Bayesian anomaly detection for high-limit table-game operations.

A research-style methodology for modeling mass-market drop, conditional volatility, and downside planning through a Drop-at-Risk framework.

A research-style paper on casino floor design through weighted graphs, route entropy, constrained assignment, and simulation.

A research-style paper on reconciling drop, handle, and hold through expected-value modeling, anomaly detection, and evidence-led investigation.

A long-form paper on losing-streak persistence, near misses, LDWs, loot-box style reward systems, and responsible design implications.

A long-form paper on casino credit, mental accounting, credit-funded play, and a simulated framework for marker repayment risk.

A long-form analysis of persistent play, near-miss effects, LDWs, frictionless payment, and structural design risk in gambling-like systems.

A research-style paper integrating near-misses, LDWs, loss chasing, frictionless payment, and vulnerability into a unified model of persistent play.

A research-extension note on anonymized marker data, legal-record datasets, experimental design, and jurisdictional frameworks for casino credit research.

A methodological extension on anonymized marker data, public case records, controlled experiments, and jurisdictional frameworks for casino credit research.

This paper develops a casino-specific framework for service recovery in high-value patron relationships, introducing Recovery-Adjusted Patron Value and setting compliance boundaries around host discretion, credit, AML, and responsible-gambling risk.

This paper explains how casino operating volatility moves through the capital structure, becoming upside-rich for levered equity while creating capped-return, downside-heavy exposure for creditors.

This paper replaces the blunt loss-leader view of casino amenities with an integrated-resort portfolio-yield model that tests whether discounts and comps increase total expected contribution after cost, displacement, and risk.
