No, they are different people, but both outstanding gaming mathematicians. Both were present at the prestigious mathematicians dinner last year.

Ah it was a good guess, does Cindy have a forum presence? Im not asking for an identity or name, but does she contribute? What is her area of expertise?

No, she doesn't, at least not that I know of. I would say her strongest areas are poker and blackjack variants.

She's respected in the vp world also. I've seen her mentioned with praise now & then, and I've seen her contribute to several RoR discussions.

Is any mathematician working in the digital versus the physical world ? It seems everybody trying to invent the next digital table game starts in the physical world. Let me try and explain with an analogy.
Slots in the past were limited by number of wheels and stops on same, 3 wheels 20 stops , 20 X 20 X20 = 800 possible combinations.
Then somebody used a random number and suddenly there were millions of combinations and Mega Jackpots were possible. But what if the RNG was only used to supply 800 combinations ???
That/s what I feel is happening today. Inventors devise a game with a deck of 52 physical cards, they use a RNG and graphic displays to replicate the physical world of 52 cards. Similar to the 800 stops. If this does not make sense to you, please explain why and put me out of my misery !!!

As much as I admire the technology; I have seen tripled wheeled roulette tables, and completely cardless, chipless poker tables, I think the physical game is far better. For average Joes, at least a deck of cards can be seen, they know why the jack has just bust their 12, it was because the cards were shuffled that why, replace it with an RNG and some will think it is fixed or biased.
Why do I feel the need to use 'an' instead of 'a' in front of RNG?

Because when speaking the letter 'R', it begins with a vowel sound. 'An' would be correct. Gosh, I feel like MKL!

Yes. 'A' random number generator. 'An' RNG. It depends on the initial sound in the word. An herb, for example.

It all began when someone from Hempstead, Long Island at a party for a Senator was talking about the letter "L" and they happen to say "a L". But one of the High Society guests corrected them by saying "no, it's AN L". This was also the origination of the word "anal".

Because it's not aspirated. A problem arises with abbreviations or acronyms that can be pronounced.

Once upon a time I was working with a female technician in Australia on an International circuit trouble, Her name was angel and at one point she asked me if I wanted her to post me a view, I thought it had something to do with the trouble we were working on and declined her offer.
Only later, when talking with her mates, did I find out that she deserved the name Angel. And that post a view meant mail me a picture LOL

"Yes. I am from London."
"I thought so. You speak our language funny."
Another Englishman visiting America is waiting for a bus when someone asks him, "pardon me, sir. Are you a foreigner?"
"Certainly not. I'm English!"
