Abstract Two people A and B play a game. In each play, the loser must pay a dollar to the winner. The game goes on until one of the players is ruined. In this study, we set the win probability function of each play to be increasing with A’s present amount of money and symmetric about the half of two people’s total amount of money. We first get the probability of A winning the total amount of money, and then we study the effect of win probability function on the probability of A winning the total amount of money, and mean and variance of the number of plays required to finish the game.
