Cryptographic Token Secondary Game for Wagering Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for additional options for player interaction and enjoyment in wagering games to encourage play, while existing technologies face challenges in modifying games without incurring additional regulatory and costs.
Innovation Solution
A cryptographic token system is introduced that allows for a secondary game to be provided independently of the primary wagering game, using a processor circuit and memory to manage player identifiers and game benefits, without affecting the primary game play.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a secondary game is added to enhance player engagement, then player interaction and enjoyment are improved, but device complexity and regulatory approval requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The game system is divided into two independent segments: the primary wagering game and the secondary cryptographic token game. The secondary game operates as a separate module that does not interfere with the primary game's core functionality, allowing each segment to be managed and regulated independently while providing enhanced player engagement through the secondary game features.
Solution Approach 2:
A cryptographic token system is introduced as an intermediary mechanism between the player and the game benefits. The tokens serve as a medium that enables the secondary game to provide additional features and rewards without directly modifying the primary wagering game structure, thus maintaining regulatory compliance while enhancing player interaction.
2Adaptability or versatility
If game features are modified to provide additional benefits, then player enjoyment is improved, but regulatory approval costs and processes increase
Solution Approach 1:
The game features are segmented into core primary game features (which require regulatory approval) and secondary cryptographic token-based features (which operate independently). This segmentation allows the primary game to maintain its approved status while the secondary features can be added or modified without triggering additional regulatory approval requirements, as they function as a separate layer of gameplay.
Solution Approach 2:
The secondary game creates a parallel gameplay experience that mirrors certain aspects of the primary game but operates with different rules and mechanics governed by cryptographic tokens. This copying approach allows the provider to offer additional benefits and features without fundamentally altering the approved primary game structure, thereby avoiding additional regulatory hurdles.
3Ease of manufacture
If a secondary game is implemented independently, then regulatory costs are reduced, but integration complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gaming device is designed with universal architecture that can host both the primary wagering game and the secondary cryptographic token game within the same hardware and software platform. The system integrates multiple game types and functionalities into a unified interface, allowing seamless operation of both games without requiring separate physical devices or complex external integration, thus managing integration complexity while maintaining regulatory compliance.

AI summary
A primary wagering game is provided at a gaming device to a first player and a cryptographic token associated with the first player is determined. The cryptographic token includes a player identifier indicative of the player associated with the cryptographic token and a benefit identifier associated with a game benefit being provided to the first player associated with the cryptographic token. Based on the cryptographic token, a secondary game is provided at the gaming device, wherein play of the secondary game does not affect play of the primary wagering game, and wherein play of the secondary game appears to the first player to modify play of the primary wagering game.
