Solution Overview

Problem

Roulette table games experience a decline in player interest and business outcomes due to constant and low profit rates, leading to decreased utilization over time as the novelty and excitement of the game wane.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus that includes a wheel, a colored ball, a betting table, and an electronic display panel, which dynamically adjusts payout odds by introducing 'dynamic raised odds' that can be randomly reset, allowing players to achieve a higher profit rate and maintaining business benefits by controlling the raised profit rate within acceptable limits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If dynamic raised odds are introduced to increase player profit rate, then player engagement and utilization increase, but game result unpredictability and banker control complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegame utilizationVSAvoidodds control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic raised odds that can be adjusted during gameplay based on game state, player behavior, and banker preferences. The odds are no longer fixed but change dynamically to maintain player engagement while controlling house edge, directly applying the dynamics principle to resolve the contradiction between player appeal and banker control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the payout odds parameter dynamically based on various factors including game state, player patterns, and predetermined strategies. This parameter change allows the game to adapt to different situations, increasing utilization while maintaining banker control through structured adjustment rules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If payout odds are increased to improve player profit rate, then player excitement and engagement increase, but banker profit margin decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayer engagementVSAvoidbanker profit margin
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The raised odds are implemented dynamically rather than statically, allowing the system to increase player profit rates during certain game phases while maintaining lower odds during others, thus balancing player engagement with banker profit margins over time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs periodic adjustments to the raised odds, creating cycles of higher and lower payout rates that maintain player excitement through variation while ensuring long-term banker profitability through structured periodic patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Productivity

If frequent changes in raised odds are made to maintain player interest, then game excitement increases, but odds prediction difficulty and player strategy complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegame excitementVSAvoidodds prediction difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where raised odds adjustments are based on observed player responses and game outcomes, creating a controlled adaptation process that maintains excitement while using structured feedback loops to manage prediction difficulty rather than purely random changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An apparatus for roulette table games aims to dynamically increase payout odds of a roulette table game. The apparatus includes an electronic display panel which has at least one display zone to indicate a corresponding betting area and display a dynamic raised odds. Banker can give a payout for player's bet according to the dynamic raised odds. By providing frequent changes of the dynamic raised odds which might be greater than the payout odds of the betting area the odds is greater, therefore increases the expected value of the roulette table game and offers more incentives for players to continuously place bets. The players are motivated to expect extra awards from the roulette table game, hence the appeal of the game is greater. As a result higher utilization of roulette table game can be achieved and idle time can be reduced to avoid wastes.
