Reviews
Praise for the First Edition This book successfully transforms an already fun topic into an even more enjoyable read. -Mathematical Reviews, MAA This is a fantastic guide to gambling math, both for the beginner and the experienced gambler (or mathematician). As Bollman's math proves, there's rarely a sure bet, but Basic Gambling Mathematics comes pretty close. -David G. Schwartz, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA Basic Gambling Mathematics: The Numbers Behind the Neon is a must-have book for anyone interested in gambling mathematics. It not only covers all of the most popular casino games (blackjack, craps, roulette, keno), but is also a treasure trove of fascinating variants and novel games from casinos all over the world. -Mike Ferrara, University of Colorado Denver, USA

Author Information
Mark Bollman is Professor of Mathematics and chair of the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science at Albion College in Albion, Michigan, and has taught 116 different courses in his career. Among these courses is ""Mathematics of the Gaming Industry,"" where mathematics majors carefully study the math behind games of chance and travel to Las Vegas, Nevada, in order to compare theory and practice. He has also taken those ideas into Albion's Honors Program in ""Great Issues in Humanities: Perspectives on Gambling,"" which considers gambling from literary, philosophical, and historical points of view as well as mathematically. Mark has also authored Mathematics of Keno and Lotteries, Mathematics of Casino Carnival Games, and Mathematics of The Big Four Casino Table Games: Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, & Roulette.
