Solution Overview

Problem

The gaming industry faces limitations in allowing players to wager on multiple future game outcomes simultaneously, leading to reduced player engagement and revenue generation due to limited table seats and the inability to place bets on sequential game events.

Innovation Solution

An electronic gaming device and system that generates and displays gaming options based on predetermined betting structures related to future game results, allowing players to wager on multiple future game outcomes through video streams from multiple tables, including contingent wagers triggered by specific events, with a server processing and transmitting video streams and generating options.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If players are limited to wagering on single game outcomes at physical tables, then table game operations remain simple, but player engagement and revenue generation are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebetting capabilityVSAvoidgaming system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates virtual copies of physical table games through video streams, allowing players to access multiple game instances simultaneously. The electronic gaming device displays video feeds from multiple physical tables and enables betting on future outcomes of these copied game environments, effectively multiplying betting opportunities without adding physical tables.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from two-dimensional physical table space to multi-dimensional virtual betting space. Players can bet on multiple future game outcomes across different time points and table instances simultaneously, adding temporal and spatial dimensions to the betting experience beyond what physical tables allow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If players must wait for available seats at physical tables, then table game structure remains simple, but playing time and revenue opportunity are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplaying timeVSAvoidwait time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system allows players to place bets in advance on future game outcomes before actually participating in the game. Players can wager on predetermined future events at multiple virtual tables simultaneously, eliminating the need to wait for physical table availability while maintaining continuous engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The electronic gaming device enables continuous betting activity by allowing players to engage with multiple virtual table streams simultaneously. Instead of idle waiting time between physical table turns, players maintain continuous engagement across multiple parallel game streams, maximizing productive playing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Adaptability or versatility

If players can only bet on current game outcomes, then betting rules remain simple, but player engagement and strategic depth are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegaming optionVSAvoidbetting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic betting structures where players can select from multiple predetermined betting options with varying time horizons and outcome conditions. The system adapts to player preferences by offering diverse betting structures (e.g., bet on next game, next five games, specific outcome patterns) rather than fixed single-outcome betting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The betting system is segmented into multiple predetermined betting structures, each representing different future time points and outcome conditions. Players can choose from segmented betting options (e.g., short-term vs. long-term predictions, specific outcomes vs. general trends), allowing tailored engagement without overwhelming complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
