In addition to the gambling there are lectures by statistics professors on the probability of winning and the mathematics behind various betting schemes. Players receive a fixed amount of math club money at the start. Prizes are awarded based on the most dollars accumulated at the end of play. Pictured are the dealers, croupiers, and gamblers from past years.
