Description of Research Project
EGM (Electronic Gaming Machine) reinforces gambling behaviour by paying out variable prize awards
after an unpredictable number of pulls. Hence, unpredictability in terms of when the prize will be given
out and the associated amount of the prize is used to entice the player to continue playing. Hit
frequency and amount of the prize is associated with the volatility of the game. Therefore, volatility is

to quantify volatility and the project entails devising a method/model to do so such that the proposed
method can be used to predict the addictiveness of a game.
