1. Comp Evaluation Program This program was developed by Dan Mandarino, Director of Operations, Planning, and Analysis for Paris and Bally's Casino. Casino complimentary systems typically default to a "fixed" casino advantage. Also, most casinos also comp based on the player's "actual loss." Dan's program allows you to compare what you "thought" you earned to what your policies "actually" earned.

2. Equivalent Volatility Often management is concerned with volatility. This sheet compares different betting limits in blackjack so as to equate the volatility. For example, betting $5,531 on each spot of a 6-spotted table has the same volatility as betting 1 spot at $22,806 (assuming a trip of 800 total rounds, .42% casino advantage, and flat bets).
