Displaying Multiple Progressive Wagering Game Values
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Casino operators face challenges in dynamically managing and displaying progressive game information across multiple electronic gaming machines (EGMs), particularly in configuring complex progressive games and determining which progressive display information to show on signage.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a communication interface, a processor circuit, and memory that receives progressive prize data from multiple EGMs, generates updated composite values for each progressive game, and transmits this data to display devices configured to show game-specific graphics and updated values, allowing for dynamic and efficient display management across multiple EGMs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple progressive games are installed on EGMs, then game variety and player engagement are improved, but determining which progressive display information to show becomes difficult and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into multiple zones, with each zone dedicated to displaying progressive information for a specific progressive game. This segmentation allows the system to manage multiple progressive games by physically separating their display information, making it easier to determine which information to show and reducing the complexity of display management.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple linked progressive games are configured on EGMs, then customer gaming options are improved, but hardware requirements and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is designed to serve multiple functions by displaying progressive information for multiple different progressive games simultaneously. This multi-functionality allows a single display device to support multiple gaming options without requiring separate dedicated display hardware for each game, thereby reducing overall hardware requirements and costs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic game configuration is implemented, then operator flexibility is improved, but determining progressive display information becomes more challenging
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the display into multiple zones corresponding to different progressive games, the system makes it easier to determine which progressive display information to show. Each zone can be independently controlled and updated, simplifying the operator's task of managing dynamic game configuration and ensuring the correct information is displayed for each game.

AI summary
Systems, devices and methods are provided. A system includes a communication interface, a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the embodiments. The memory includes machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to receive, via a communication interface, progressive prize data corresponding to multiple progressive wagering games and from multiple electronic gaming machines. The processor circuit may be further caused to generate multiple updated progressive wagering game composite values that each correspond to one of the progressive wagering games. The processor circuit may be further caused to transmit data corresponding to the updated progressive wagering game composite values to the display device that is configured to display each of the updated progressive wagering game composite values.
