Dice Game Re-Roll Feature for Player Engagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current casino games lack innovative features to enhance player engagement and excitement, particularly in dice games, as they often rely on random chance without the option for re-rolling to improve outcomes.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a re-roll feature in dice games where players can re-roll specific dice based on predefined criteria, allowing for improved outcomes and additional wagering opportunities, which can be triggered by certain game conditions or as a bonus feature.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a re-roll feature is implemented in dice games, then player engagement and excitement are increased, but device complexity and game rules become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The game dynamically transitions between different phases (initial roll, evaluation, re-roll decision, re-roll execution, final evaluation) based on game state conditions. The system adapts its behavior by enabling or disabling the re-roll feature depending on whether predefined criteria are met, creating an engaging dynamic experience without permanently complicating the base game rules
Solution Approach 2:
The gaming method is segmented into distinct phases: initial dice rolling, outcome evaluation against predefined criteria, conditional re-roll decision, re-roll execution, and final outcome determination. This segmentation allows the complex re-roll feature to be implemented as a modular addition that enhances player engagement without entangling the entire game rule set
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple re-roll opportunities are provided, then player excitement and potential winnings are increased, but game duration and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of allowing unlimited re-rolls which would excessively extend game duration, the system provides a partial action by allowing exactly one re-roll opportunity when criteria are met. This balanced approach generates player excitement through the additional chance to improve outcomes while preventing excessive time consumption by limiting the re-roll to a single instance
3Productivity
If re-roll feature is made available based on predefined criteria, then additional wagering opportunities are created, but game complexity and programming requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary evaluation of the initial dice roll outcomes against predefined criteria before offering the re-roll opportunity. This preliminary action structure allows the programming to be organized in a straightforward if-then sequence: evaluate initial roll, check against criteria, conditionally offer re-roll. This approach maximizes revenue potential through additional wagering opportunities while keeping programming requirements manageable through clear sequential logic

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention set forth systems, apparatuses and methods for implementing a dice game having a re-roll feature on a gaming device. Accordingly, a gaming device can be configured to roll multiple virtual dice on a game display and determine if the result of the dice roll satisfies a predefined criterion. When the result of the initial dice roll satisfies the predefined criterion, one or more of the multiple virtual dice is re-rolled. The gaming device then evaluates a game result after the re-roll, where the combination of the displayed faces from any initially rolled dice that were not re-rolled and the displayed faces from the re-rolled dice are used in the evaluation.
