RANDOM NUMBER GENERATION SPECIALISTNever ask Dave to explain what "random" is unless you want to give up the next 45 minutes of your life. To say it is a subject Dave is passionate about would be an understatement.FAIR RANDOM NUMBER GENERATION FOR ADULT GAMINGWhile at BCLC, Dave helped create the Automated Draw Machine (ADM) used since 1990 by several North American Lottery jurisdictions. These systems conduct "FAIR" draws for many different games with a wide variety of play styles and do so with as much integrity, security and accountability as the traditional ball drawing methods.ENTREPRENEURSHIPIn 2001 Dave started Counter Concepts Consulting initially to support and expand the ADMs that were in use but also to develop new software to conduct an even wider variety of Lottery draws.In addition, Dave works on the design of many new and innovative gaming products and other software used within the industry. He also provides companies considering new games with detailed analysis of the odds, potential liability and other risk factors, as well as an insight into the nature of the player experience and how players might respond.NEW GAME EVALUATION AND DESIGNApproach to evaluating a new or redesigned game:STEP 1: Calculate the odds, expected liability and potential risks using math.STEP 2: Run computer simulations with actual anticipated sales scenarios.STEP 3: Analyze the simulation data and look for deviations from the expected results.Some variance is normal, as this is still a random system, but can that deviation be tolerated? And does the math predict the same results as the simulation? By using two methods to determine the results, the potential for an error to go undiscovered in either the math or the simulator is greatly reduced.HERE TO HELPIf you are looking for or developing a new game, something outside the box, new and innovative, or even something that is just a new twist on an old theme, contact Dave and let him have a look.
