Modeling Games with Markov Chains

<p>From playing cards with friends to winning money at the roulette table, the joy of a great game is irresistible to most. But no matter how fun, after a few losses even the most optimistic of players can&rsquo;t help but ask &ldquo;Is the game rigged?&rdquo; For those of us with some knowledge of probability leaving this question unanswered can feel unsatisfying to say the least. In this post we will explore a type of probabilistic model for answering questions of this kind. Specifically, I will show how Markov Chains can be applied to the game &ldquo;Shut the Box,&rdquo; in hopes of inspiring you to use probability to answer your own game related questions.</p> <p><a href="https://towardsdatascience.com/modeling-games-with-markov-chains-c7b614731a7f"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
