Rolling the Ball, Or The Table Must Be Spinning

Z/Yen always seeks new alleys for risk/reward management. In two ten pin bowling matches against The Children's Society, we were let down by changes during the last century when bowling and golf switched scoring mechanisms. Next time we will try to knock the pins down. Still on the gaming theme, while seeking new uses for random quantum qubits, Michael and Ian paid a Z/Yen visit to the Amusement Trades Exhibition at Earl's Court. As well as testing the various requirements for random number generators in automated roulette and slot machines, Ian and Michael proved that their university pin-ball skills were still up to scratch.
