The latest episode of iGaming Real Talk, the industry’s premier long-form video podcast, features a deep-dive conversation with Alex Tomic, the visionary Founder of Alea.
Episode 16 transcends traditional business discourse to explore the intersection of quantum randomness, artificial intelligence, and the ancient philosophy of luck.
The Philosophy of Randomness and the Goddess “Alea”
In what is being hailed as a “masterpiece” episode, Alex Tomic provides a perspective on the gambling industry rarely heard in corporate circles. He delves into the origins of his company’s name—inspired by the Roman goddess of luck and chance—to explain why understanding randomness is critical for both personal and professional journeys.
Tomic said:
“Luck or randomness, what we call randomness, plays a very big part in our life. Chance, risk, and decision-making shape the very foundation of how we navigate the world.”
Craftsmanship and Culture at Scale
While the discussion touches on the “sacred side” of gaming, it remains grounded in the practicalities of massive growth. Tomic outlines Alea’s core values, craftsmanship, care, and discipline, as the essential drivers that allow a company to scale internationally without losing its cultural soul.
The episode also highlights:
