Looking for help in searching for information about the mathematics of gambling technologies. Actually, I'm interested in the description of how the backend calculating/adjusts RTP and related things, for any kind of games such as slot machines or lotto. The algorithms, books, code snippets, a hint for what math area explaining such calculations. The only books that I found about that are (The Mathematics of Slots: Configurations, Combinations, Probabilities) on Amazon, but there is no e-version of this book and I can't buy it in my region.

/bpg/ - The Beginner Programmer's General, #50

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS edition (also fuck off T_D culture war obsessed scum edition)

Last thread: >>83782986

>What is this?
/bpg/ is the Beginner's Programmer General, your one-stop shop for all things pertaining to learning the ropes of the fascinating world of computer science. The idea of a "beginner's general" is borrowed from /ic/.

>"How do I learn programming?"
>"Which language should I start with?"
>"What are tools I can use to program?"
See the document at >>>> https://rentry.co/bpg <<<<

>Why?
A lot of people on /dpt/ ask the same sort of questions and it devolves into a shitshow. The hope is that by separating we can slow down /dpt/ and are able to have more substantial discussions in both threads.

Is the desktop PC market the only one where Microsoft is #1?
Servers: Linux dominates
Smartphones: Apple and Google dominate (Windows Phone is literally dead)
Cloud services: Amazon dominates
Gaming consoles: Nintendo and Sony dominate
Online game stores: Valve dominates

Free software is like having your own car.

Proprietary software is like renting a car or taking the bus.

Motherboard repair issues

No.66369864 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
So basically I am trying to get a used parts build set up so my buddy can run his gtx 980 without bottlenecking(he has an fx6350 with a questionable board) so we decided to transplant the video card and ram to a pc with parts I have. I acquired for free an itx asrock z77 board and I have a 3570k. This motherboard has been all but problems. I repaired 9 bent pins(done this many times, they are perfectly done) and I have been experiencing stablity issues still relating I believe to power or heat.

-system randomly restarts or has the screen go black but stays on

-swapped through multiple high wattage PSUs I know work

-swapped through multiple GPUs and RAM

-discovered that when its plugged into the wall direct it will do the aforementioned issues if there is any power fluxuation like a lamp turning off on the same circuit -decided to run it through an avr equipped ups unit and still sometimes restarts

-discovered a ferrite choke was loose so I resoldered it back on

-flashed the bios

-still restarts unless I put a 60mm fan right onto the vrm heat sink

-motherboard temp sensor is located near vrms

-when temp sensor hits 36c it tends to restart, with fan it stays around 30 and seems to work fine.

Anything else I should do? Sucks cuz this cpu was a power house and ran at 4.6 @1.25v on my old z77pro that I sold with my 4.8ghz 3770k last year. It was always socketed or in an anti static bag. I am so frazzled.

cpu is cooled with a freshly out of the box corsair h55 and I am using a single rail 700w 80+ PSU currently with crucial ddr3 and an ocz trion 240gb. My testing methodology has been aida64 and intel xtu. Games have been saurbraten(run a map in spectator mode with max number of bots on a local multiplayer map to sink cpu) or CSGO in spectator mode all low settings @720p to maximize cpu usage and the cpu is running stock voltage and clocks. Only restarted once on csgo after many hours running without fan on vrm heat sink.
