Title: The Gambler's Ruin Problem
Url: https://mathweb.ucsd.edu/~anistat/gamblers_ruin.html
Creator: Garsia, A.M.
Publisher: University of California, San Diego, Department of Mathematics
Description: This applet allows you to experience the fate of a gambler by simulating the whole gambling session in a matter of seconds. The applet plots the successive rises and falls of the capital during the whole duration of the game. It also displays the maximum and minimum values attained by the capital during the session and allows you to get precise information (by clicking at a point of the histogram) of the amount of capital after that particular bet.
