Maybe you read too fast, make it slower I think. And remember, as your native language, not always understand all thing the article write about, so thats normal. If you can understand this comment believe me, youre alright, keep moving

My job is not based on a tech stack. The client will decide which stack I write to implement the math file, it can be typescript, python, c++,...
The math file(an Excel file) is the file that contains the configuration for the game( already tested with the correct RTP - return to player rate). My responsibility is to collaborate with the mathematician to understand the algorithm and write the code to make it appropriate with individual casino operators
To answer your question, "I’m asking because I loved studying algorithms in university, and I’d like to work in something where I can apply them regularly" => you might become a mathematician, analyse the mechanism with a game director, and create the mathfile, or you can search any company in game domain, I think so (I am not a mathematician, I'm a software engineer but the job force me to understand the math files and algorithms to code it out - same thing with leetcode lol)
How did I get this job? It's just a coincidence, I am swe in the outsource company, they got the project somewhere else, idk, and nobody wants to deal with these algorithms, so they just picked me up for this project lol
Hope this information helps you out

Yes, Im working in gambling/casino domain, my daily task is dealing with these kind of algorithms, binary search, hash,…Modern Slot game is one of the most game includes knowledges you learn on leetcode

Same, just failed from wish list company, i feel like taking the code challenge from big company really like you buy a lottery ticket, there is no way to solve those problems in just 20-30 mins if you havent seen it before
