A Game Mathematician designs the mathematical models behind casino, slot, and video games to ensure balanced gameplay, fairness, and profitability. They use probability, statistics, and game theory to develop game mechanics, payout structures, and return-to-player (RTP) percentages. Their work involves creating simulations, analyzing data, and collaborating with game designers and developers to optimize player engagement.
To thrive as a Game Mathematician, you need a strong background in mathematics or statistics, proficiency in probability theory, and usually a relevant degree such as mathematics, statistics, or a related field. Familiarity with technical tools like spreadsheets, simulation software, game development platforms, and programming languages such as Python or C++ is highly desirable. Strong analytical thinking, creativity, attention to detail, and effective communication are valuable soft skills for this position. These abilities ensure the development of fair, engaging, and compliant game mechanics that meet both business objectives and regulatory standards.
Game Mathematicians often face the challenge of balancing mathematical precision with player engagement, as games must be both profitable and enjoyable. They are responsible for developing and testing game algorithms to ensure fairness and compliance with regulations, often requiring close collaboration with game designers, artists, and developers. Balancing the theoretical aspects of probability and payout structures with the practical considerations of playability and user experience is a key part of the role. By working in cross-functional teams and adapting to feedback, Game Mathematicians help create successful and entertaining gaming experiences.

Game Mathematicians at Lighthouse Studio work at the core of game development-taking math logic created by 3rd party partners and turning it into something our games can actually use.
This role is highly collaborative. You'll work across a cross-functional team that includes Game Producers, Project Managers, Graphic Artists, Mathematicians, Software Developers, Technical Artists, Test Engineers, and 3rd party contractors to bring games from concept through delivery.
A big part of the job is making sure game math performs exactly as expected. That means building and integrating math logic into our math engine, running simulations, analyzing payouts, and working with the team to identify and resolve any deviations-while ensuring everything meets regulatory and jurisdictional requirements and aligns with the game's design vision.
What you'll be doing:
Develop game code to integrate 3rd party math logic into the math engine (with mentor support)
Troubleshoot and refine math logic to meet market and regulatory requirements
Calculate and simulate expected game payouts and investigate discrepancies
Partner with mathematicians, developers, producers, and test engineers to resolve issues
Contribute to verification processes through simulations, calculation programs, and peer reviews
Document game math logic and support handoff to software development teams
Use statistical analysis to evaluate data and improve game features
Support 3rd party tools, platforms, and hardware coordination
Help manage contractor access, licenses, and related systems
Respond to questions related to game function and math logic
Degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, or similar
Strong foundation in probability, combinatorics, and statistics
Programming experience (Python, C++, C#, VBA, etc.)
Experience with data analysis and Excel
Ability to manage multiple projects and work collaboratively
Strong communication skills (technical and non-technical)
Nice to have:
Background in advanced math topics (game theory, graph theory, etc.)
Experience with mathematical modeling
Interest in the gaming industry
Building collaborative relationships
Decision making
Drive results
Foster innovation
Personal energy
Self-leadership
