Solution Overview

Problem

Casino gaming machines, particularly slot machines, become stale after short play sessions and fail to attract younger players due to lack of excitement and engagement, necessitating new game development methods that integrate dynamic secondary games driven by primary game outcomes.

Innovation Solution

A gaming machine system that includes a primary game display and a secondary game display with prize blocks arranged in a grid, where primary game outcomes determine the destruction and replacement of prize blocks, offering prizes such as monetary rewards, multipliers, or bonuses, and utilizing virtual dice or dominoes to dynamically advance the secondary game.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If traditional slot machine games are used, then the game structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the player engagement and excitement level decrease after short play sessions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegame structure simplicityVSAvoidplayer engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines a primary slot machine game with a secondary prize block game into a single integrated gaming system. The primary game outcomes directly influence the secondary game state by destroying prize blocks, creating a merged gameplay experience that maintains simplicity while enhancing engagement through multiple interacting game layers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The prize blocks in the secondary game display are dynamically destroyed based on primary game outcomes, creating an evolving game state that changes over time. This dynamic element prevents stagnation and maintains player excitement by continuously transforming the game environment rather than presenting static rewards

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If new game features and secondary games are added to increase excitement, then player engagement improves, but game development time and labor intensity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayer engagementVSAvoidgame development time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The game is segmented into distinct functional modules: a primary slot machine game component and a secondary prize block game component. This segmentation allows each module to be developed, tested, and modified independently, reducing overall development time while enabling complex integrated gameplay that enhances player engagement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If complex secondary games with multiple prize blocks are implemented, then player interaction and excitement increase, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayer interactionVSAvoidgame system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The secondary game display uses a universal prize block structure where multiple prize blocks follow the same destruction and replacement rules. This universal design allows the system to handle complex game states with multiple prizes while maintaining relatively simple underlying logic, as the same mechanisms apply regardless of the number or type of prize blocks present

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

System and methods for automated defect identification of slot machine games is disclosed. The system includes an AI-driven processor configured to analyze game assets, such as executable instructions or computer-readable files, for presenting a game of chance on a gaming machine. The gaming machine comprises a monetary input device, user interface, processor, game display, and memory. The AI-driven processor identifies defects in the game assets using algorithms trained via machine learning. A media encoding and transcoding router converts and/or consolidates input data types into a specific media format and routes processed data to a neural network for transformer-based analysis. These system and methods automate defect identification of game software by automating defect detection and ensuring compliance, reliability, and optimal game performance for land-based or digital slot machine applications.
