Patent ID: 8777731

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: obtaining one or more mathematical expressions in a non-programming code format from one or more data sources associated with a wagering game presentable via a wagering game machine, wherein the one or more mathematical expressions include game-related parameters that represent one or more gaming activities associated with a wagering game session; detecting user input, via one or more input devices, to configure the wagering game; converting the one or more mathematical expressions in the non-programming code format to one or more equivalent programming code expressions in a programming code format in response to the detecting the user input, wherein the one or more programming code expressions comprise a function for an expected value of the wagering game; determining one or more values for the one or more game-related parameters; via use of one or more processors, evaluating the function for the expected value using the one or more values for the one or more game-related parameters; generating the expected value for the wagering game in response to the evaluating the function for the expected value; and configuring the wagering game using the expected value.
