Gaming System Bonus Triggering via Element Relationship Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Gaming systems lack transparency in providing bonus opportunities, leading to frustration among players who desire clearer information on when and how these opportunities are triggered, especially for mystery triggering events.
Innovation Solution
A gaming system that offers bonus opportunities based on a designated relationship between randomly determined elements, using mechanisms like colored wheels or cards, where the relationship determines the type and value of the bonus, enhancing player engagement and excitement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If mystery triggering events are used to initiate bonus opportunities, then the gaming system can provide unexpected bonus opportunities, but the player becomes frustrated due to lack of transparency about when and how bonuses are triggered
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary random determination of bonus triggering events and associated elements before the bonus game is initiated. The determination of relationship elements is done in advance but kept hidden from the player, while the triggering event itself is displayed. This allows the system to have bonus opportunities ready in advance based on pre-determined relationships, providing transparency about the bonus structure without revealing the specific outcomes until appropriate moments.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple randomly determined elements are used to determine bonus relationships, then the bonus structure becomes more complex and engaging, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the random determination process into distinct components: (1) determination of the triggering event, (2) determination of relationship elements, and (3) determination of the bonus opportunity based on the relationship between elements. Each segment can be independently controlled and displayed at different times, allowing complex multi-element relationships to be managed through modular processing steps rather than a single complex determination.
Solution Approach 2:
The system determines the relationship elements and their relationships in advance before the bonus game is initiated. This preliminary determination allows the complex logic of evaluating relationships between multiple elements to be completed beforehand, reducing the computational complexity during the actual bonus game initiation and making the system more manageable.

AI summary
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a gaming system and method providing a bonus opportunity when a designated relationship exists between a plurality of randomly determined elements. The gaming system randomly generates a plurality of elements in association with a play of a secondary game. The gaming system determines whether a designated relationship exists between the randomly determined elements. If the designated relationship exists between the randomly determined elements, the gaming system determines a bonus opportunity associated with the randomly determined elements and provides the bonus opportunity to a player.
