Simulating Blackjack Outcomes via Bingo Game Controller
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In jurisdictions where wagering on blackjack is not permitted, individuals interested in blackjack games may not find suitable electronic gaming options, as existing electronic games like Bingo are not sufficient alternatives.
Innovation Solution
A game system and method that allows players to wager and play electronic games, with a game controller simulating a blackjack game on a player device, where the outcome of the blackjack game is equivalent to the outcome of another electronic game, such as bingo, using a pay table for payouts based on predetermined winning conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If bingo games are offered as electronic wagering games, then games can be offered in jurisdictions where blackjack wagering is not permitted, but players interested in blackjack cannot find suitable gaming options
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a simulated blackjack game that copies the visual appearance and basic mechanics of real blackjack, while the underlying outcome is determined by the bingo game results. The simulation includes dealing cards, player decisions (hit, stand, double down), and visual presentation identical to traditional blackjack, satisfying player expectations without requiring actual blackjack wagering
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a simulated blackjack game as an intermediary between the actual bingo game and the player's desire to play blackjack. The simulation acts as a mediator that presents blackjack imagery and mechanics while the true wagering occurs on the bingo game, bridging the gap between jurisdictional restrictions and player preferences
2Reliability
If the outcome of the electronic game is determined by bingo rules, then payouts can be made according to bingo winning patterns, but players cannot experience actual blackjack gameplay
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates the game into two distinct segments: the outcome determination segment (bingo game with random number generation and winning pattern evaluation) and the presentation segment (simulated blackjack gameplay). This segmentation allows each segment to function independently according to its own rules while contributing to the overall game experience
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates dynamic interaction between the simulated blackjack gameplay and the underlying bingo outcome. The simulation adapts to the predetermined bingo result by dealing cards and managing game flow to achieve the expected outcome, creating a dynamic presentation that responds to the static bingo determination

AI summary
A game system and method plays an electronic game and simulates the outcome as a blackjack game. The game system allows a player to place a wager. The outcome of the electronic game includes a payout according to a first pay table if a set of predetermined winning conditions has been achieved. The outcome of the bingo game is simulated as a blackjack game. The outcome of the blackjack game is equivalent to the outcome of the electronic game.
