Data Presentation
Transcript: The name of our game is called “Are You Feeling Lucky?" This is a fairly simple game, with the allure of winning three times the amount that you bet. You begin by grabbing the die and predicting whether it will turn out to be an odd or even number when rolled. Then before rolling it into the holes, you decide whether it will fall into an odd or even numbered hole. You place your bet of whichever amount of money you wish, then roll the die and see the outcome. In theory, our game’s outcomes all have an equal probability of occurring. However, after looking at our data from Casino day, our final results are slightly different from that theory. We discovered that the theoretical results and the experimental results were not equal, and while looking at the wins and losses of our game results when it is actually being played, the outcomes changed significantly. The theory stayed the same, but the experimental results were different that predicted. All in all, we believe that our game may need a little revision, between the experimental results and theoretical probability our final results are a little off. We found that although not identical, the Theoretical Probability graph and the Experimental Results graph were fairly similar as they were during the experimental results during classroom day, enough to prove that our game is fair. But after adding the experimental results of Casino Day into our graph the results are a little different. After looking at the Wins and Losses of all the experimental results we believe that they have changed drastically. During our Casino Day the wins of each outcome have overpowered the losses, unlike, the experimental results in the classroom. This doesn’t change our experimental results overall because they are still a little similar to the theoretical results, but not enough to skew the data too much. Probability of rolling an odd roll on and even number is ½ on ½ therefore, P(winning)= ½ x ½ = ¼ Therefore they have a 25% chance of winning the game.

How it is Played We wanted to create a game that was different from the average casino game you see today. We brainstormed and decided that we would make something both eye appealing to draw people in and something that was fun and exciting to play as well. We decided on creating a board with holes in it and boxes attached below the holes to catch the die. Later on, we decided on the rules of predicting odd/odd, odd/even, even/odd, or even/even. Lastly, we needed to figure out what amount of winnings would make this a fair game, so after calculating it we came to the conclusion that we would triple the winnings if a player won. The player approaches the table and decides which amount of money they would like to place as their bet; knowing that their winnings could be triple that amount they usually place a larger bet. Once their bet is placed, they predict whether it will be odd/odd, odd/even, even/odd, or even/even, then they roll the die into the holes. If they win, they will receive triple their bet, however if they lose they lose it all.
