What I Can Help You Build

From a blank concept to an existing game that needs fixing, the mathematics should serve the intended player experience.

01

Bespoke Slot Mathematics

Design complete math models around your intended mechanics, RTP, volatility, hit rate and target player experience.

02

Game Optimisation

Improve existing games by restructuring payout distribution, reel behaviour, feature frequency and volatility.

03

Competitor Breakdown

Reverse-engineer observable gameplay behaviour to understand mechanics, payout structure and design choices.

04

Feature Adaptation

Adapt proven mechanics and feature concepts into a new mathematical structure tailored to your game.

05

Simulation & Validation

Build high-performance simulations to validate RTP, volatility, hit frequency, max exposure and feature behaviour.

06

Math Tools & Prototyping

Create custom tools and prototypes for game design, jackpot configuration and internal analysis.

Game Math Redesign

Classic Slot Optimisation

Redesigned an existing classic slot model to improve payout pacing and player experience while maintaining the intended game rules and RTP target.

Reverse Engineering

Competitive Game Analysis

Reconstruct observable game behaviour to analyse reel structures, feature mechanics, payout distribution and mathematical design choices.

Simulation & Tooling

Custom Mathematical Tools

Purpose-built tools for jackpot configuration, probability modelling, game balancing and design iteration.

03 / Deliverables

Built for Your Development Team

Production-ready output your developers, producers and test lab can work from directly.

Math Workbook

Complete par sheet covering RTP, probabilities, pays, features and game configuration.

Open Demo PAR Sheet
Simulation summary: one billion simulated spins, total RTP split into base game, hold-and-spin and free game, hit rate, standard deviation, and win-size distribution tables

Excerpts from a demo workbook. Client workbooks stay under NDA.

Simulator

Java or Python simulation for mathematical verification and further tuning.

Developer Flow

Clear logic and implementation guidance for the development team.

Design Notes

Explanation of the mathematical decisions, assumptions and intended player experience.

04 / Process

Simple, Project-Based Engagement

  1. 1

    Define

    Game concept, mechanics, RTP, volatility and commercial requirements.

  2. 2

    Design

    Build the mathematical structure, reels, features and payout distribution.

  3. 3

    Simulate

    Validate performance and iterate against the target gameplay experience.

  4. 4

    Deliver & Refine

    Receive the complete math package, simulator and implementation support.

A typical slot math project can be completed in approximately two weeks, depending on complexity. Project-based, retainer and ongoing studio partnerships available.

I’m Light, a game mathematician based in London, UK, specialising in slot mathematics, game design and simulation.

Over the past five years, I’ve worked across more than 100 slot and casino game models, covering both Western and Asian markets.

My work combines mathematical modelling, player psychology, programming and product design — with a focus on turning theoretical probabilities into compelling gameplay experiences.

I work primarily with Java and Python and support studios throughout the full math development process, from early concept to production-ready implementation.

Away from the desk, I genuinely enjoy gambling and a night at the casino — it keeps me close to how the maths actually feels from the player’s side of the reels.
