Abstract
We obtain an explicit expression and generating polynomial for the weight-spectra coefficients of the expected waiting time in the Penny Ante game with a q-sided die. As in our previous studies on the subject, Mathematica was of immeasurable service in making very complicated calculations, visualization and, especially in this case, for hypotheses testing.
