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. Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DZWNLPDK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
