Gaming Controller Using Financial Market Indicators
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gaming systems rely on Random Number Generators (RNGs) for determining game outcomes, which do not account for financial market indicators, limiting the ability to create dynamic and market-based gaming experiences.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses financial market indicators to determine the outcomes of bets in games like roulette, baccarat, and slot machines, allowing for market-driven inputs and outcomes, even when financial markets are closed by utilizing other non-random but unpredictable events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a Random Number Generator (RNG) is used to determine game outcomes, then the gaming system operates continuously without external dependencies, but the gaming experience becomes static and disconnected from real-world market dynamics
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces financial market indicators as an intermediary between the gaming system and real-world market dynamics. These indicators serve as a mediator that translates market movements into game outcomes, allowing the gaming system to reflect external economic conditions without directly integrating complex market infrastructure. The controller retrieves market indicator values and uses them to determine game results, creating a bridge between traditional gaming and financial markets.
2Productivity
If financial market indicators are used to determine game outcomes, then the gaming system becomes dynamic and market-driven, but the system cannot operate when financial markets are closed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by storing historical financial market indicator values in advance. When current market data is unavailable (such as when markets are closed), the system retrieves previously stored indicator values to determine game outcomes. This allows the gaming system to maintain continuous operation by using pre-captured market data, ensuring that gaming availability is not compromised by market closure schedules.
3Loss of information
If traditional RNG-based systems are used, then the system structure remains simple and well-understood, but the gaming experience lacks connection to external economic factors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a controller that performs multiple functions: it manages traditional RNG-based game operations and simultaneously retrieves and processes financial market indicator data. This multi-functional controller can operate in different modes depending on data availability, switching between using current market indicators and historical data. The system thus integrates market information while maintaining the simplicity of traditional gaming operations through a unified control mechanism.

AI summary
A system comprises a client operable to communicate a bet regarding a baccarat game. The s stem further comprises a controller communicably coupled to the client and operable to determine a result of the baccarat game, the result based at least in part upon one or more digits of at least one financial market indicator at a configurable point in time. The controller is further operable to determine an outcome of the bet based at least in part on the determined result.
