Gaming System Characteristic Selection Game Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current gaming systems lack variety and additional opportunities for players, as they primarily rely on base games and feature games that do not offer enough alternative gameplay experiences to maintain and increase player interest.
Innovation Solution
A gaming system and method that incorporates a characteristic selection game, allowing players to choose from multiple selectable game play characteristics, which can be played together, affecting win chances and quantum, and are triggered by base game outcomes or random events, using a combination of base and feature games with multiple levels of gameplay.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a base game and feature game structure is used, then player engagement is improved, but game variety and player interest are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The gaming system is divided into distinct functional components: a base game for standard play, a characteristic selection game for choosing gameplay modifiers, and a feature game for bonus rounds. This segmentation allows each component to serve its specific purpose while collectively providing game variety without overwhelming complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The gaming system is designed to accommodate multiple game types and characteristics within a single platform. The same hardware and software framework can support various base games, characteristic combinations, and feature games, making the system universally adaptable to different gameplay scenarios
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple selectable game play characteristics are added, then player interest and prize opportunities are increased, but the complexity of game control and rules increases
Solution Approach 1:
The characteristic selection game is played before the main feature game to determine which gameplay characteristics will be active during the feature game. This preliminary action simplifies the main game by pre-establishing the rules and modifiers, so players don't need to make complex decisions during the actual gameplay
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically applies the selected game play characteristics to the feature game without requiring manual intervention. Once characteristics are selected through the characteristic selection game, the system self-configures and applies the appropriate rules, reducing the burden on players

AI summary
Gaming systems, controllers, and associated methods are provided. An example gaming system includes a game controller arranged to control play of a game. The game includes a plurality of selectable game play characteristics. The game controller is arranged to control play of the game such that one or more of the selectable game play characteristics are played in the game.
