Excel Lab 6 … Casino/Game Simulation Objective: As two-person team, create an attractive simulation that accurately models playing a probability-based game of your own design. The player should have the option to make choices, place bets and observe the results of their play.
You can model your game after a real game or start from
scratch. Your game should be designed to pay out 95% of what it takes in, so that you make money over time.
Suggestions:
Roll 2 or 3 Dice: prizes for pairs or 3-of-a-kind or interesting sums
Pick 2 or 3 Cards: prizes for pairs, flushes, 21, or face cards
Keno: to simplify it, choose 10 from 40 and play 6 spot; prizes for matching 3, 4, 5 or 6
Pick 2 or 3 Marbles: prizes for matching 0, 2 or 3 colors
4 or 5 Window Slot Machine: use wingding fonts, prizes for 2-pairs or matching 3 or 4
