Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional baccarat games have limited wagering options, which can lead to reduced player interest and lower casino profits, as they only allow betting on the bank hand, player hand, or a tie, without additional exciting wagering opportunities.

Innovation Solution

Introduction of a modified live baccarat system that allows betting on a jackpot, where the outcome is determined by combinations of zero-point cards, enabling players to place separate bets on the Paradise Jackpot, with options for banker contributions to the jackpot pool, and integration with electronic devices for gameplay.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional baccarat rules are used with limited wagering options, then the game rules remain simple and easy to understand, but player interest decreases and casino profit is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewagering optionsVSAvoidgame rules
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wagering system is segmented into two independent components: conventional baccarat wagering (Player, Banker, Tie) and separate jackpot wagering. Players can place bets on both the main game outcome and the jackpot side bet independently, allowing the casino to offer more wagering options without complicating the core game rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The betting table is designed to accommodate multiple functions simultaneously: it supports traditional baccarat wagering areas and additional jackpot wagering areas. The system universally handles both conventional bets and jackpot bets through a unified dealing and outcome determination process, increasing versatility without requiring separate game systems.

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

2Productivity

If jackpot wagering is added to baccarat, then player engagement and casino revenue increase, but the complexity of the game system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecasino revenueVSAvoidgame system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The jackpot wagering system is merged with the conventional baccarat game into a single integrated system. The same dealing process, shoe, and table are used for both the main game and the jackpot side bet. The outcome determination merges conventional card counting with zero-point card tracking, allowing the casino to increase revenue streams without requiring separate game equipment or procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically determines jackpot outcomes based on the cards dealt during normal play. The dealing process itself generates the data needed for both conventional and jackpot outcome determination, eliminating the need for additional manual tracking or separate game management, thus increasing revenue without proportional increases in operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If separate jackpot betting is allowed, then the variety of bets increases, but the simplicity of conventional baccarat is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebet varietyVSAvoidgame simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The jackpot wagering is extracted as a separate, independent betting option from the conventional baccarat game. Players can choose to place only conventional bets, only jackpot bets, or both types of bets independently. This extraction allows the game to offer bet variety while maintaining the simplicity of the core conventional baccarat experience for players who prefer it.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Players are given the option to engage in partial action by placing only conventional bets or only jackpot bets, or excessive action by placing both types of bets. This flexibility allows players to choose their desired level of engagement and complexity, maintaining ease of operation for simple players while offering variety for those seeking more options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
