Have you considered gaming math? Explain how the math of slot machines work. It’s simple really.

Would that be enough for ten pages though?

Great idea! Once you understand probability, you will never look at a casino the same way again!
In the early 70's I spent a year working as a math & science paraprofessional at a junior high school in the northern suburbs of Chicago. I was only a few years older than the students I was helping to teach!
Brought an antique Mills 5 cent machine to the school and showed the kids the calculations and math principles that ultimately proved that the jackpot was statistically only going to occur once in every 8000 pulls of the handle.

I often wonder where some of those students ended up!
