Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If existing comp systems are used to reward players, then players receive incentives, but the incentives are delivered after the player has left the gaming machine or casino, making them ineffective for real-time behavior influence
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by delivering incentives to players while they are still actively gaming at the machine, rather than waiting until after they leave. The system monitors player gaming activity in real-time and delivers incentives during the gaming session, ensuring the incentive is provided at the most effective moment when the player is still present and able to act on it.
2Ease of operation
If casinos use traditional comp distribution methods (mailing vouchers or distribution locations), then players can receive incentives, but players must leave the gaming machine to obtain comps, interrupting their gaming experience
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing players to receive and redeem incentives directly at the gaming machine without needing to leave or visit separate distribution locations. The gaming machine itself becomes the point of incentive delivery and redemption, with the player able to access their comp account, view available incentives, and redeem them seamlessly during play.
3Loss of information
If casinos offer incentives after players have stopped playing, then players receive rewards, but the casino misses the opportunity to communicate with the player at the most relevant moment
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring player gaming activity and using that real-time information to deliver targeted incentives during the gaming session. The system tracks metrics such as amount wagered, time played, and game type, then uses this feedback to determine when and what type of incentive to offer, ensuring communication is relevant to the player's current gaming state.
Data Source
AI summary
A program for rewarding players for gaming at a casino establishment provides a player with real-time incentives while the player is playing at a gaming machine in the casino. Information about the player and/or the player's gaming activity is collected while the player is at a gaming machine in a casino. This information is used by a marketing system to select an incentive to provide to the player. The incentive is then delivered to the player, for example manually by a casino employee or automatically using a printer or other mechanism at the gaming machine. Various types of incentives can be provided to a player, including incentives designed to provide the player with an experience that is favorable to the casino and incentives designed to keep the player gaming in a casino for a longer amount of time.
