Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional gaming machines are used without bet type descriptions, then the game progresses quickly, but beginners cannot understand the rules and are deterred from participating
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares multiple types of description information (basic, intermediate, advanced) in advance and stores them in memory. When a player requests information about a bet type, the pre-prepared descriptions are immediately displayed without requiring real-time generation or explanation from dealers, thus providing comprehensive information while maintaining fast game pace.
2Ease of operation
If detailed information about all bet types is always displayed, then beginners can understand the rules, but the display becomes cluttered and skilled players are distracted
Solution Approach 1:
The display system dynamically adapts its content based on player needs. Players can select different information levels (basic, intermediate, advanced) for different bet types, and the display shows only the selected level of detail. This dynamic adjustment allows beginners to access comprehensive information while skilled players can view minimal information or skip descriptions entirely, keeping the display clean and non-distracting.
Solution Approach 2:
The information about each bet type is segmented into multiple levels of detail (basic description, intermediate description, advanced description). Players can selectively access only the level of information they need for each bet type, rather than being presented with all information at once. This segmentation allows comprehensive information availability while maintaining display simplicity through selective presentation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If beginners are allowed to play without understanding rules, then game participation increases, but skilled players experience disruptions in game progress
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables players to independently obtain information about bet types through on-demand display of description information. Beginners can self-educate by selecting and reading descriptions of bet types they intend to play, without requiring intervention from dealers or other players. This self-service information access allows beginners to participate confidently while maintaining game flow, as they can quickly look up rules without disrupting skilled players' gameplay.
