Solution Overview

Problem

Current gambling game systems have low and fixed player return ratios, leading to player frustration, boredom, and reduced appeal, as well as increased business costs due to the need for constant theme and scheme innovations to maintain interest.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic odds calculation element generates random and higher payout odds for selected game results, displayed electronically, allowing players to win based on these dynamic odds, thereby increasing player engagement and system utilization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed odds are used in gambling games, then the house maintains stable profit margins, but player engagement and appeal decrease over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayer engagementVSAvoidodds structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic odds adjustment where the payout ratio changes based on accumulated betting amounts. When the accumulated amount reaches predetermined thresholds, the odds are dynamically modified to offer higher payouts, transforming the static odds structure into a dynamic one that adapts to gameplay progression and maintains player interest.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the payout ratio parameter from a fixed value to a variable that depends on the accumulated betting amount. This parameter change allows the odds to evolve during gameplay, providing players with increasing incentives as the game progresses while maintaining house edge through controlled adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If constant theme innovation is implemented to maintain player interest, then player appeal is maintained, but business costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayer appealVSAvoidbusiness cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses the players' own betting contributions to fund the dynamic odds adjustments and incentive payouts. The accumulated betting amounts automatically trigger odds modifications without requiring external funding or theme development resources, allowing the system to self-regulate and maintain player interest through player-funded mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of changing themes or game schemes, the system changes the numerical parameter of payout ratios. This parameter change provides a cost-effective way to maintain player appeal by offering varying incentives without the high costs associated with theme development, marketing, and game redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If low fixed return ratios are used, then house profit is maintained, but player satisfaction and continued participation decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehouse profitVSAvoidplayer satisfaction
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The return ratio transitions from a fixed low value to a dynamic value that increases with accumulated betting. This dynamic adjustment maintains house profit through the base odds while periodically providing higher return opportunities that satisfy players and encourage continued participation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements periodic odds adjustments at predetermined accumulated amount thresholds. These periodic changes provide players with regular incentives and satisfaction boosts while maintaining the overall house edge, creating a rhythm of reward that keeps players engaged without compromising long-term profitability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

An incentive apparatus for a gambling game system aims to increase the odds thereof. The gambling game system includes a betting table and a plurality of game results. The betting table has payout odds marked thereon corresponding to different game results of the gambling game system. The incentive apparatus includes a dynamic raised odds calculation element, an electronic display board and a payout element. The dynamic raised odds calculation element randomly selects a specific number of the game results and generates dynamic raised odds for the selected game results respectively. The electronic display board has a plurality of display zones corresponding to the game results. The display zones immediately display the dynamic raised odds after betting of each round of game stops. The payout element pays out to players who win the round of the game according to the payout odds or the dynamic raised odds.
