Gaming System Adaptive Evaluation Logic
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gaming systems rely solely on player wagers to evaluate game outcomes, lacking alternative methods for evaluating game results.
Innovation Solution
A gaming system with a game controller that evaluates game outcomes in different ways based on an evaluation change condition, allowing for multiple symbol evaluations and flexible game architectures, including standalone and networked configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single game evaluation based on player wager is used, then the gaming system operates simply, but the player experience lacks variety and engagement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the game evaluation into multiple independent evaluation modules (first game evaluation and second game evaluation), each evaluating different symbol subsets. This segmentation allows the system to provide diverse evaluation methods while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The gaming system is designed to perform multiple evaluation functions using a single integrated controller. The same controller that manages the first game evaluation also manages the second game evaluation, allowing one device to serve multiple purposes and increase versatility without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple symbol evaluations are implemented, then player experience is enhanced, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-divides the symbol display positions into first and second subsets before the game evaluation begins. This preliminary organization of evaluation targets allows the controller to process multiple symbol evaluations more efficiently by having predetermined evaluation groups ready, reducing the computational burden during actual game play.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic evaluation where the controller can adaptively select which evaluation method to apply based on game conditions and player choices. The system can switch between different evaluation modes (first game evaluation, second game evaluation, or both) depending on the situation, providing flexibility without requiring all evaluation paths to be simultaneously active.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the game architecture is made flexible with multiple evaluation modes, then system adaptability improves, but the operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines and executes the appropriate game evaluation mode based on predetermined conditions and player inputs, without requiring manual configuration. The controller self-manages the complexity of selecting between first and second game evaluations, making the system adaptable while keeping operation simple for the player.

AI summary
Systems and methods of electronic gaming are disclosed. In various embodiments, a gaming system may implement a method for electronic gaming, which may comprise receiving a credit wager to initiate play of a game, selecting a plurality symbols from a plurality of reel strips stored in the memory, displaying the selected plurality of symbols in a plurality of adjacent columns of symbol display positions, dividing the symbol display positions in each of the plurality of columns into a first subset of symbol display positions and a second subset of symbol display positions, determining whether an evaluation change condition has been met with respect to a column in the plurality of columns, a first game evaluation based upon the evaluation change condition, and performing a second game evaluation based upon the evaluation change condition.
