Cloud-Based Progressive Jackpot System for Multi-Jurisdictional Prize Pool Linking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current progressive lottery game systems face challenges in managing multi-jurisdictional progressive jackpots across different regulatory environments, lacking a unified cloud-based architecture to efficiently link physical and digital ticket prize pools and provide real-time value updates and notifications.
Innovation Solution
A cloud-based infrastructure that enables a multi-jurisdictional, multi-channel progressive jackpot system, allowing for the creation, configuration, and control of progressive jackpots across jurisdictions, linking physical and digital ticket prize pools, and providing real-time value updates and notifications through a centralized controller.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional progressive game system is used, then the basic lottery game can be played, but the system cannot efficiently manage multi-jurisdictional progressive jackpots or provide real-time value updates across different regulatory environments
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the progressive jackpot management into separate jurisdictional components, allowing each jurisdiction to maintain its own prize pool and regulatory controls while participating in a unified multi-jurisdictional progressive game. This segmentation enables independent management of physical and digital ticket prize pools across different regions.
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud-based architecture provides a universal platform that handles multiple functions: managing physical and digital tickets, tracking prize pools across jurisdictions, enforcing regulatory requirements, and providing real-time value updates. This multi-functional system replaces the need for separate conventional systems in each jurisdiction.
2Reliability
If physical and digital ticket prize pools are linked, then real-time value updates can be provided, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges physical and digital ticket prize pools into a unified progressive jackpot structure, allowing both ticket types to contribute to and withdraw from the same prize pool. This integration enables real-time value updates by tracking contributions and payouts across both physical and digital channels through a single electronic record.
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud-based server acts as an intermediary between physical and digital ticket systems, coordinating prize pool contributions and payouts. This intermediary manages the electronic records, ensures accurate real-time updates, and maintains synchronization between the two ticket types without requiring direct complex integration between them.
3Productivity
If a centralized cloud-based controller is implemented, then operational efficiency and real-time updates improve, but the system requires sophisticated infrastructure
Solution Approach 1:
The cloud-based system automatically manages progressive jackpot operations including real-time value updates, prize pool tracking, and notification delivery without requiring manual intervention. The system self-updates electronic records, calculates prize values, and sends notifications automatically, improving operational efficiency while the infrastructure requirements are managed as a service rather than on-premises complexity.

AI summary
A gaming system server, method, and system are provided. A method includes determining a lottery ticket corresponds to a winning lottery ticket, determining a prize associated with the winning lottery ticket includes a progressive prize, determining the lottery ticket corresponds to a type of lottery ticket that links a physical ticket prize pool with a digital ticket prize pool, in response to determining that the lottery ticket corresponds to the winning lottery ticket, includes the progressive prize, and corresponds to a type of lottery ticket that links a physical ticket prize pool with a digital ticket prize pool, referencing an electronic record of a progressive prize pool for linked tickets. The method may further include determining a current value of the progressive prize pool for linked tickets then assigning a prize value to the lottery ticket based on the current value of the progressive prize pool for linked tickets.
