Game Mathematician / Nataša
5+ years of experiencePrague, Czechia
Game Mathematician with 5+ years of specialized experience designing and validating mathematical models for slot and live casino games at globally recognized studios including Evolution and Pragmatic Play. Takes games from mathematical concept through regulatory submission and live launch, covering RTP modeling, volatility tuning, bonus feature simulation, and risk analysis. Combines a strong academic background in Mathematics and Computer Science with hands-on Java and Python simulation development.
Skills
- End-to-End Game Math Ownership: Designed complete mathematical models for slot and live casino games from concept to launch - covering reel strips, symbol distributions, payout schemes, RTP, and volatility targeting.
- Top-Tier Studio Experience: Production math model delivery at Evolution (Stockholm) and Pragmatic Play/ARRISE - two of the most prominent names in the global iGaming industry.
- Broad Game Type Coverage: Experienced across the full casino game spectrum - slots, blackjack, baccarat, roulette, poker, bingo, money wheel, and live show formats.
- Simulation & Coding Proficiency: Builds and runs game simulations in Java and Python, going beyond spreadsheet modeling to verify math at scale and catch edge cases before development.
- Regulatory & Documentation Ready: Produces formal mathematical documentation, PAR sheets, and simulation reports tailored for both internal stakeholders and external regulatory bodies.
- Risk & Integrity Awareness: Conducted casino risk and fraud analysis at Evolution in collaboration with dedicated risk teams - understands the real-world financial implications of game math decisions.
- Cross-Functional Collaborator: Experienced working alongside Game Directors, Product Owners, Developers, and Designers — translates complex mathematical concepts into actionable implementation guidance for non-math teams. You said: A bit shorter summary
