Playtech and Playtika veteran Guy Hasson’s weekly series on the lessons he learned throughout his career continues.

Lesson #4: Sitting with mathematicians

During my three years working for Playtech, I was placed in the mathematicians’ room. I heard them solve three years’ worth of problems on features for more than 80 slot games. I learned how math works, not just from an overview, but digging deep into every problem. 

That allowed me to get the true basics of how the cogwheels work behind the game itself. Understanding the most basic cogwheels allowed me to invent features I couldn’t in other ways, to explain things to mathematicians later on in my career (although I’m not one) about how things could be done, and to help them when they’re stuck…
