Used to look at how often each symbol wins (by some definition) in a test and then observing the probability that some fixed number of specific wins can occur.

Given a list of N events of player outcomes and P events of the probability of a player winning the odds of a particular outcome is:

P = \frac{n!}{n_1! ... n_x!} P_1 n_1 ... P_x n_x

Variables:

• n total events observed
• n_x result for player x (a win = 1 or a loss = 0)
• P_x probability of player x winning

TODO I am not sure how to sample this or what sampling it would even mean.
