Gaming Indicator Selection for Variable Risk and Awards
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional gaming systems lack mechanisms to provide players with a dynamic and engaging way to determine game outcomes and awards beyond the conventional RNG-based symbol combinations, failing to cater to varying player risk tolerances and preferences.
Innovation Solution
A gaming system that implements an indicator game displaying potential indicators with success probabilities and associated awards, allowing players to select and potentially play multiple instances, with outcomes determined by a random number generator.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional RNG-based symbol combinations are used, then game fairness and regulatory compliance are ensured, but player engagement and strategic decision-making are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The game outcome determination is segmented into two independent parts: (1) RNG-based award determination that ensures fairness, and (2) indicator-based visual representation that enhances engagement. The indicator is divided into a success portion and a failure portion, with the boundary between them determining the visual outcome while the RNG independently determines the actual award.
Solution Approach 2:
The indicator serves as an intermediary element between the RNG system and the player interface. It translates the abstract RNG outcome into a visual representation that players can understand and engage with strategically, while the RNG system remains hidden to maintain fairness and regulatory compliance.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed award structures are used, then regulatory compliance is maintained, but player preference for varying risk tolerances cannot be accommodated
Solution Approach 1:
The indicator's visual representation is dynamic and can be configured with different success probabilities and award amounts. The boundary between the success portion and failure portion can be adjusted to create different risk profiles, allowing players to select indicators that match their risk tolerance while the underlying RNG system maintains regulatory compliance through fixed award structures.
3Productivity
If multiple indicator instances are allowed, then player engagement and potential awards are increased, but game complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple indicator instances are merged into a single game round, where players can select multiple indicators with different risk profiles. The system combines the visual representation of multiple indicators while using a single RNG determination to resolve all instances, maintaining processing efficiency while increasing player engagement and potential award output.

AI summary
The various embodiments generally pertain to a gaming system and method of providing an indicator game by displaying a plurality of potential indicators, each of which indicates a percentage of success and an associated award. By way of one example, upon the player selecting one of the indicators, a selected indicator game is implemented resulting in a game outcome or outcomes, and the player is awarded the associated award(s).
