Bingo Game System Subpool Bonus Feature
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional bingo game systems lack features that allow for simultaneous number calls, enhanced win opportunities, and increased chances of simultaneous winners, which can lead to reduced player engagement and excitement.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a bingo game system that includes a bingo game server, a controller, and a broadcaster, which allows for the determination and display of a subpool of bingo symbols, enabling simultaneous calls from this subpool, and the awarding of secondary prizes based on specific winning conditions, such as the 'clean sweep bonus' and 'lucky shot bonus'.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional bingo game systems are used, then the system structure is simple, but player engagement and excitement are reduced due to lack of simultaneous number calls and enhanced win opportunities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the bingo number pool into multiple subpools (first subpool, second subpool, third subpool) that can be called simultaneously or sequentially. This segmentation allows for enhanced game features like simultaneous number calls and multiple winning patterns while maintaining a manageable system structure through modular organization of number pools and their associated calling mechanisms.
2Productivity
If simultaneous number calls and subpool bonus features are implemented, then win opportunities and player excitement increase, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes multiple subpools of bingo numbers and defines winning patterns in advance. The bingo listener is pre-configured to monitor for simultaneous calls from different subpools and automatically determine when bonus winning patterns are achieved. This preliminary setup enables rapid processing of simultaneous calls and automatic bonus award determination without requiring complex real-time calculations during game play.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a bingo listener as an intermediary component that monitors number calls from multiple subpools and facilitates communication between the number calling mechanism and the bonus determination logic. This intermediary automatically detects when simultaneous calls from different subpools occur and triggers the appropriate bonus winning pattern evaluation, simplifying the overall system architecture by centralizing the coordination function.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple subpools with simultaneous calls are used, then chances of simultaneous winners increase, but tracking and managing calls becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The bingo listener implements a feedback mechanism that continuously monitors number calls from multiple subpools and provides real-time information about which numbers have been called from which subpool. This feedback enables the system to automatically track simultaneous calls, identify when bonus winning patterns are achieved, and determine eligible winners without manual intervention. The feedback loop ensures accurate tracking even when multiple numbers are called simultaneously from different subpools.
