Quality assurance

See how calculator outputs are checked.

Identity, boundary and cross-reference tests applied to Casino Calculated’s interactive tools.

Published September 22, 2026Reviewed by Casino Calculated Editorial TeamCalculation methodology

Identity tests

Simple formulas must reproduce hand-calculable examples: zero action produces zero loss; a 2% edge on $100 action produces $2 expected loss; fair odds invert probability correctly.

Boundary tests

Inputs at zero, payout transitions, rule changes and strategy thresholds are checked explicitly. Invalid negative quantities are constrained or explained.

Cross-reference tests

Selected results are compared with independently published analysis only when rules and denominators match.

Interface tests

Every input requires a visible label; results update after valid changes; calculators remain usable with a keyboard and narrow viewport.

Release discipline

A calculator change triggers formula fixtures, link validation, metadata checks and a changelog entry.

Evidence record

Assumptions

The exact rules, wager schedule and stated strategy.

Calculation

Expected value is the probability-weighted sum of net outcomes.

Limitations

Examples illustrate method; posted casino rules control.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the exact rule set matter?
Because probabilities, legal actions and settlement can change together. A result belongs only to the model it analyzes.
Does better strategy guarantee profit?
No. Strategy selects the highest expected-value legal action; the best available action can still have negative expectation.
