Gaming System Concurrent Symbol Generators Modifiers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current gaming systems lack innovative methods to enhance player engagement through concurrent game play and award opportunities, relying on traditional single-game mechanics and limited bonus game triggers.
Innovation Solution
A gaming system employing multiple symbol generators for concurrent game plays, where each game is associated with a wheel having sections representing awards, modifiers, or bonus triggers, with a modifier generator to randomly determine and apply modifiers to outcomes, increasing award opportunities and volatility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple symbol generators are activated for concurrent game plays, then player engagement and award opportunities are enhanced, but system complexity and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the gaming functionality into separate symbol generators, each handling a specific game or bonus round. Each symbol generator operates independently with its own wheel, sections, and outcome determination, allowing concurrent execution without interference. This segmentation enables multiple games to run simultaneously while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The symbol generators are designed as multi-functional components that can serve different game types and bonus rounds using the same underlying mechanism (wheel with sections). A single symbol generator structure can be configured for various games, reducing overall system complexity while enabling diverse concurrent gameplay options.
2Productivity
If multiple symbol generators are activated for concurrent game plays, then award opportunities increase, but processing time and system resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-determines outcomes for all activated symbol generators before displaying them to the player. The central controller identifies which symbol generators to activate based on game state and wager information, then simultaneously determines all outcomes in advance, ensuring efficient processing without delays during the display phase.
Solution Approach 2:
The symbol generators operate continuously and independently, with each generator's outcome determination proceeding without interruption from others. This continuous parallel processing maximizes award opportunities while minimizing total processing time, as no generator waits for others to complete.
3Adaptability or versatility
If outcomes are modified by randomly determined modifiers, then award variability and excitement increase, but predictability and fairness perception may decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides comprehensive feedback to the player by displaying the outcome of each activated symbol generator individually, along with any applied modifiers. This transparent feedback mechanism maintains fairness perception by allowing players to see the complete process and understand how their awards are determined, even when modifiers are applied.
Solution Approach 2:
The modifier application is dynamic and adaptive, with modifiers randomly determined and applied based on the specific game state and outcome. This dynamic approach increases award variability and excitement while maintaining fairness through the transparent, rule-based process that is clearly communicated to the player.

AI summary
A gaming system including a plurality of concurrent or overlapping game plays. Each concurrent or overlapping game play is associated with or otherwise configured to activate one or more symbol generators, such as one or more wheels. Following a determination of which of the games to concurrently or overlappingly play, the gaming system activates each symbol generator associated with each concurrent or overlapping game play.
