Background
Olympian Gaming, LLC is a casino game development and consulting company founded in 2001 by Stacy Friedman, a Harvard Computer Science graduate and lifelong game designer. Stacy's industry career began in the late 1990s as the mathematician for Silicon Gaming, a pioneering slot machine manufacturer — a foundation that launched two decades of innovation across every segment of the gaming industry.
Since founding Olympian Gaming, Stacy has provided game design, mathematical analysis, and product strategy consulting to land-based and online gaming operators, manufacturers, and suppliers worldwide. His patented games have been approved in multiple gaming jurisdictions and have been in commercial operation since 2008.
