Okay, let's say I have a little game where the parties consist of me, (A), the casino and the player, (B). The player places his bet with me, and he uses a random number generator to generate one whole number between 1 and 100, inclusive. He wins and gets a certain payout (2x, 3x, 4x, etc) depending on what number he rolled.
My question is:
How should I set up the payout categories in a way that rewards me, the casino, with the highest probability of success, without deterring the player from the game thinking the odds are not in his favor? For example, roll 1 or 100 = 4x payout, 85-90 = 3x payout, 65-80 = 2x payout...
I understand basic game theory, but I am having trouble determining the maximum profit setup for the casino.
Any ideas?
