Gaming Server Parlay Selection with Pre-Validation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Integrated gaming systems face challenges in providing customizable parlay wager options in real-time, as users expect quick access to tailored parlay options based on specific parameters like leagues, event categories, and odds, which existing systems struggle to deliver efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a network of gaming terminals and a gaming server, utilizing modules for preprocessing, parlay selection, and validation to rapidly determine and display available parlay options that satisfy user-defined parameters, ensuring quick user interaction and minimizing wait times.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides customizable parlay options with multiple parameters (leagues, event categories, odds, date ranges), then user customization capability is improved, but system complexity and calculation time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the complex parlay creation process into discrete selectable parameters (leagues, event categories, odds ranges, date ranges) that are pre-configured and independently manageable. This segmentation allows the system to handle customization requests through modular parameter combinations rather than complex holistic calculations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-calculates and stores valid parlay combinations based on user-defined parameters before actual wagering occurs. By performing calculations in advance and caching results, the system eliminates real-time computational complexity when users place wagers, resolving the contradiction between customization capability and system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the system calculates and presents customized parlay options in real-time, then user experience is improved, but processing time may increase beyond acceptable limits
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs parlay calculations and validates combinations in advance, storing results for rapid retrieval during actual wagering transactions. This preliminary computation eliminates real-time processing delays, ensuring user interactions remain fast and responsive.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and stores template parlay configurations that can be rapidly replicated and presented to users. Instead of calculating unique parlays from scratch for each user interaction, the system copies and adapts pre-validated parlay templates, dramatically reducing processing time while maintaining customization appearance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system offers extensive parlay customization options across multiple leagues and events, then market capture potential is improved, but system resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements parameter-specific validation and filtering rules that apply locally to each parlay component (league-specific events, category-specific odds ranges, date-specific availability). This local quality approach allows the system to handle extensive customization options by applying targeted processing only where needed, rather than uniformly processing all possible combinations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-filters and validates parlay options based on user parameters before full calculation, eliminating invalid combinations early in the process. This preliminary filtering dramatically reduces the volume of data that requires intensive processing, allowing the system to offer extensive customization without proportionally increasing resource requirements.

AI summary
Various systems and methods are provided for operating an integrated gaming system that can receive one or more parlay parameters provided by a user of a gaming terminal, determine one or more available parlay options that satisfy the one or more parlay parameters, transmit the one or more available parlay options to the gaming terminal, and receive a parlay selection that corresponds to a parlay option among the one or more available parlay options.
