Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wagering games in casinos lack opportunities to engage players through additional monetary transactions beyond direct wagers, limiting player engagement and enjoyment.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that allows players to purchase wagering game entries using a portion of a monetary transaction at a casino device, associating the entries with a user account, determining a wagering game result, and awarding a prize upon a winning result, utilizing a processor circuit and display device to facilitate this process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional wagering games accept wagers directly at gaming devices, then the wagering game can be provided to the player, but there are limited opportunities for monetary transactions and player engagement
Solution Approach 1:
The casino device is enhanced to perform multiple functions: it processes traditional wagering games while simultaneously enabling monetary transactions for wagering game entries. The processor circuit is configured to detect both wager placements and monetary transactions, and the display device presents both game interfaces and entry purchase options, making the device multi-functional without requiring separate dedicated systems
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the monetary transaction processing capability with the existing wagering game system. The processor circuit integrates transaction detection, user account association, and wagering game entry management into a unified system that operates alongside traditional gaming functions, combining multiple operations into a single integrated platform
2Productivity
If additional wagering opportunities are introduced through monetary transactions, then player engagement increases, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically associates monetary transactions with user accounts and generates wagering game entries without requiring manual intervention. The processor circuit self-manages the linkage between transactions, accounts, and entries, and the display device automatically presents offers based on detected transactions, reducing the need for complex manual coordination while maintaining high player engagement
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback loops where monetary transactions are detected, user accounts are identified, and wagering game entry offers are automatically generated and displayed. This automated feedback mechanism ensures that player actions (monetary transactions) immediately result in corresponding system responses (entry offers) without requiring complex manual processing, thereby increasing engagement while managing system complexity through automation

AI summary
A monetary transaction at a casino device associated with a first monetary amount is determined, and a user account associated with the monetary transaction is determined. A display device displays an offer to purchase a wagering game entry for a second monetary amount less than the first monetary amount. In response to acceptance of the offer, the wagering game entry is associated with the user account. A wagering game result for the wagering game entry is determined, and, in response to the wagering game result being a winning result, a wagering game award is awarded to the user associated with the user account.
