Dynamic Prize Determination via Live Sporting Event Outcomes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Gaming machines in casinos lack innovative ways to engage players, leading to fatigue and decreased interest, as existing systems fail to effectively incorporate live events into game mechanics for dynamic prize determination.
Innovation Solution
A gaming system that analyzes outcomes from live sporting events to determine probable occurrences and assign prize values, allowing for real-time monitoring and payout calculations based on detected outcomes, using a processor and memory to manage inputs, pay table symbols, and prize values.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If gaming machines use traditional static game logic, then device complexity is low, but player engagement and interest decrease over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic game logic that automatically adjusts prize values based on real-time sporting event outcomes. The system transitions from static predetermined prizes to dynamic prizes that change based on external events, making the gaming experience adaptive and engaging while maintaining manageable complexity through automated processing
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback loops where sporting event outcomes are continuously monitored and fed back into the game logic to adjust prize values. This creates a responsive system that adapts to external conditions, enhancing player engagement through real-time variability without requiring complex manual intervention
2Adaptability or versatility
If gaming machines incorporate live event monitoring, then player engagement improves, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary event data processing layer that sits between the sporting event sources and the game logic. This intermediary layer standardizes and processes external event data into game-relevant information, simplifying the integration complexity while enabling comprehensive live event monitoring and response
3Adaptability or versatility
If prize values are determined by live event outcomes, then game variability and player interest increase, but measurement and detection complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining multiple possible sporting event outcomes and their corresponding prize values before events occur. This preparation reduces the complexity of real-time detection and measurement, as the system only needs to match observed outcomes against pre-established categories rather than creating evaluation frameworks during live events

AI summary
A gaming system may include a gaming machine having a monetary input device, a wager input device, and a processor. The processor may establish a credit balance based on the monetary value, decrease the credit balance by the selected wager, and present the wagering game at an interface. A game server may transmit content for the wagering game to the gaming machine. The game server may determine prize payouts during game play by detecting sporting event outcomes occurring during live sporting games. Each detected sporting event outcome may correspond to a previously determined prize value. The prize values may be determined based on a data analysis of the probable occurrence of each sporting event outcome in previously completed sporting events.
