Conventional casino game tables lack interactivity and advanced functionalities that can enhance player experience without compromising game security or performance, and existing technologies do not effectively manage bet graduality or provide additional game features without increasing complexity for dealers.
Innovation Solution
A casino game table device with a game mat equipped with a detection and identification system for tokens, cards, and electronic devices, connected to a computer that analyzes bets in real-time, allowing for the activation of new game zones, loyalty points multiplication, and interactive functionalities based on bet amounts, using technologies like RFID, NFC, Bluetooth, and wireless sensors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If detection systems and computer analysis are added to conventional game tables, then player interaction and game functionalities are enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection system is designed to serve multiple functions: it detects tokens, identifies players via RFID cards, monitors bet amounts, and triggers various game functionalities. This multi-functionality allows a single complex system to handle diverse tasks, improving adaptability while managing complexity through consolidation rather than multiple separate systems
Solution Approach 2:
The computer acts as an intermediary between the detection system and the game table functionalities. It receives detection information, processes it, and generates action information that activates specific features. This intermediary layer manages the complexity by centralizing processing logic, allowing the detection system and game features to communicate through standardized information exchanges
2Adaptability or versatility
If real-time bet analysis and multiple functionalities are implemented, then player experience is improved, but game flow speed may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining bet amount thresholds and their corresponding functionalities in a database. When a player places a bet, the system quickly compares the bet amount against pre-established criteria and immediately activates the appropriate functionality. This eliminates the need for complex real-time calculations during gameplay, maintaining fast game flow while providing interactive features
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring bet amounts and automatically adjusting game functionalities based on detected values. When a player's bet reaches a predefined threshold, the system provides immediate feedback by activating additional features or options. This automated feedback loop enhances player interaction without requiring manual intervention, preserving game speed
3Measurement precision
If precise bet detection and player identification systems are added, then bet management accuracy is improved, but ease of operation for dealers is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The detection system operates autonomously to detect tokens, identify players, and manage bet amounts without requiring dealer intervention. The system self-manages the complex tasks of tracking multiple players' bets, verifying token authenticity, and determining when bet thresholds are reached. This self-service capability ensures precise bet management while keeping dealers free from operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with automated detection systems. Instead of dealers manually tracking bets and identifying players, electronic detection systems using RFID technology and image recognition automatically perform these tasks. This substitution of mechanical dealer actions with automated systems maintains high precision in bet detection while significantly improving ease of operation for dealers
