Dynamic Progressive Jackpot Value Accumulation via In-Game Event Evaluation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic gaming systems lack innovative methods to dynamically increase progressive jackpots based on in-game events, limiting player engagement and excitement.
Innovation Solution
The system generates and evaluates reel strips with symbol display positions, determining if symbols correspond to in-game events associated with specific values, and adds these values to progressive jackpots, allowing for bulk increments based on designated pay tables and events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional progressive jackpot systems are used where each machine contributes a fixed portion of each bet, then the jackpot increases steadily over time, but the rate of increase is slow and predictable, reducing player excitement and engagement
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the jackpot contribution amount based on real-time game conditions, player wagers, and random events. Instead of a fixed contribution per bet, the contribution varies dynamically to create bulk increases that accelerate jackpot growth and enhance player excitement while maintaining system manageability through predefined adjustment rules
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the contribution parameter from a static fixed amount to a variable amount that can be adjusted based on game events, wager sizes, and random triggers. This allows the jackpot increase rate to be modified without changing the fundamental system structure, achieving faster growth through parameter variation rather than system redesign
2Adaptability or versatility
If bulk increases are implemented based on in-game events, then player engagement and excitement are enhanced, but the system requires complex event tracking and evaluation mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the jackpot contribution mechanism into separate event-triggered components. Each in-game event type (e.g., bonus rounds, special symbol combinations, wager milestones) has its own evaluation rules and contribution parameters. This modular segmentation allows the system to handle multiple event types independently, reducing overall complexity while enhancing adaptability to various game conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback loops where in-game events are continuously monitored, evaluated against predefined criteria, and used to adjust jackpot contributions in real-time. This feedback mechanism enables the system to respond adaptively to player actions and game states without requiring complex centralized control, as each event automatically triggers appropriate contribution adjustments based on embedded rules

AI summary
Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for electronic gaming are disclosed. The method includes generating a plurality of reel strips that each include a column of symbol display positions, where each symbol display position includes a symbol, and evaluating each of the symbols in the symbol display positions. The method also includes determining that at least one of the symbols corresponds to a first in-game event, where the first in-game event is associated with a first value, and adding the first value associated with the first in-game event to a first progressive jackpot.
