Community Game Server Back Betting Leaderboard
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The current implementation of back betting in casinos is chaotic and inefficient, with back betters often hindered by crowds and gaining an advantage by reaching tables faster, limiting participation for other customers.
Innovation Solution
A community game apparatus that utilizes a game server with a random number generator to select game indicia, allowing multiple players to participate in a single wagering event, and provides leader board data for back betting, enabling simultaneous monitoring and wagering on multiple active participants through a networked configuration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If back betters physically monitor game tables in person, then they can directly observe game play, but crowds form causing chaos and limiting participation
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates virtual copies of the physical game tables through video feeds and digital interfaces. Back betters can monitor game play remotely through these digital representations, eliminating the need to physically crowd around actual tables while maintaining full monitoring capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a digital intermediary layer between the physical game tables and the back betters. This intermediary consists of video cameras, processors, and display interfaces that transmit game information electronically, allowing remote observation without physical presence.
2Speed
If back betters arrive at tables faster than others, then they gain an advantage in back betting, but this creates unfairness and limits participation for other customers
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates equal access conditions for all back betters by providing simultaneous remote access to all game tables through digital interfaces. Everyone starts from the same position (remote access point) with equal information availability, eliminating the speed advantage of early arrivals.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a physical spatial dimension (where speed and proximity matter) to a digital information dimension where all participants have equal access to game data regardless of physical location or arrival time.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple back betters gather at a single table, then they can all monitor the same game, but this creates chaos and prevents full monitoring of game play
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the monitoring function across multiple independent digital channels, with each back better having their own interface to game tables. This segmentation allows unlimited participation without interference, as each user receives dedicated information streams rather than sharing a physical viewing space.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges multiple monitoring perspectives into a unified digital platform where numerous back betters can simultaneously access and monitor the same games without physical interaction, combining the benefits of group participation with individual monitoring capability.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a random number generator that randomly selects a set of game indicia for a game of chance. Further, the apparatus includes a database that stores the set of game indicia. In addition, the apparatus includes a processor that retrieves the set of game indicia from the database, sends the set of game indicia to a game terminal to determine an outcome of the game of chance played by a first player, receives game data from the game terminal based on the outcome, and generates leader board data based upon the game data that is utilized by a second player to perform back betting.
