Course description

Learn how to beat the house! Or, if that's not possible, at least learn how much of an edge they have. In this course, you'll analyze three specific casino games: blackjack, craps, and poker. And, while you're learning how to master these games, you'll also strengthen your skills working with many foundational probability topics including probability trees and conditional probability. Some prior knowledge of probability at the level of the Probability Fundamentals course is useful for tackling this material. Additionally, a strong foundation with algebra is assumed as a prerequisite.
