Class II Bingo Gaming System With Persistent Elements
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Class II bingo games lack the engaging dynamic experience provided by persistent elements, as each game is played independently, preventing the use of limited term persistent elements that are typically found in Class III games.
Innovation Solution
The gaming system associates different sets of ordered bingo cards with distinct persistent element sequences, where elements are introduced and removed during a series of plays, mimicking the experience of Class III games by using a simulated Class III game to display results, with persistent elements displayed based on the current bingo card in use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If Class II bingo games are played independently without persistent elements, then regulatory restrictions are adhered to, but player engagement and dynamic experience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The bingo game is divided into multiple rounds, with each round using a specific bingo card from a predetermined set. Persistent elements are introduced selectively in certain rounds rather than throughout the entire game, allowing the system to maintain regulatory compliance while providing dynamic experiences at appropriate segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The game structure is made dynamic by introducing persistent elements that carry over between rounds. These elements change the game state in subsequent rounds, creating a more engaging and variable experience while still operating within the framework of independent Class II bingo games.
2Adaptability or versatility
If persistent elements are introduced to enhance player engagement, then dynamic experience is improved, but regulatory compliance may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-determines sets of ordered bingo cards before the game begins. Each set is associated with specific persistent element sequences, and the selection of which set to use is made in advance. This preliminary structuring ensures that persistent elements are introduced in a controlled manner that maintains regulatory compliance.
Solution Approach 2:
Predetermined sets of ordered bingo cards serve as an intermediary mechanism between the independent Class II bingo structure and the desired persistent element functionality. This intermediary layer allows persistent elements to be introduced indirectly through card selection rather than directly modifying the game rules.
3Reliability
If predetermined sets of ordered bingo cards are used to manage persistent elements, then regulatory restrictions are maintained, but game variety and excitement are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The predetermined sets of ordered bingo cards serve multiple functions: they maintain regulatory compliance by structuring the game as independent Class II bingo, while simultaneously enabling persistent element functionality to enhance variety and excitement. The same card sets facilitate both regulatory adherence and game diversity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters such as which bingo card is used, what persistent elements are active, and how rounds are structured to create variety within the predetermined framework. These parameter changes allow the game to feel fresh and exciting while remaining within the constraints of the predetermined sets.
