Cryptographic Token Player Tracking for Wagering Game Benefits
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need to enhance player interaction and enjoyment in wagering games by providing additional options for shared game benefits, while maintaining security and transparency in a gaming environment.
Innovation Solution
The use of cryptographic tokens, each with a common identifier and a player identifier, allows for the determination of active play sessions across different wagering games. When multiple players using these tokens are in active play sessions, enhanced game benefits can be provided to participating players.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If cryptographic tokens are used to track multiple players across different wagering games, then player engagement and shared benefits are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments player identification and tracking into discrete cryptographic tokens that can be independently managed. Each token contains specific player identifiers and game session information, allowing the system to track multiple players across different games without requiring a monolithic tracking system. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity while enabling enhanced player engagement.
Solution Approach 2:
Cryptographic tokens serve as intermediary objects between players and the wagering game system. Instead of directly managing complex player state information across multiple games, the system uses tokens as mediators that encapsulate player identity and session data. This intermediary layer simplifies the core system architecture while enabling versatile player tracking and shared benefit distribution.
2Adaptability or versatility
If shared game benefits are provided based on multiple active play sessions, then player enjoyment is enhanced, but transaction verification complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by issuing cryptographic tokens to players before they engage in wagering games. These tokens pre-encode player identification and game session information, so that when players participate in multiple games, the verification process simply involves checking token validity rather than reconstructing complex transaction histories. This preliminary token issuance simplifies ongoing transaction verification while enabling shared benefits across multiple sessions.
Solution Approach 2:
The cryptographic token system creates digital copies of player identity and session information that can be verified without accessing the original transaction records. Each token contains a copy of essential player data that can be independently validated, reducing the complexity of verifying shared benefits across multiple games while maintaining player enjoyment through seamless benefit distribution.
3Adaptability or versatility
If cryptographic tokens with common identifiers are used to group players, then shared benefits become possible, but data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The cryptographic tokens implement local quality by containing specific, localized player identification data rather than requiring global data processing. Each token has a common identifier that locally identifies the player group, allowing the system to determine shared benefit eligibility by comparing these local identifiers rather than processing comprehensive player data. This approach enables shared benefits capability while minimizing overall data processing requirements.

AI summary
A plurality of cryptographic tokens are determined, each including a common identifier indicative of the cryptographic token being part of the plurality of cryptographic tokens, and a player identifier indicative of a player associated with the cryptographic token. It is determined whether a first player associated with a first cryptographic token of the plurality of cryptographic tokens is in a first active play session of a first wagering game at a first gaming device, and whether a second player associated with a second cryptographic token of the plurality of cryptographic tokens is in a second active play session of a second wagering game at a second gaming device. Based on a determination that the first player is in the first active play session and that the second player is in the second active play session, a first game benefit is provided to the first player in the first active play session.
