Electronic Gaming System Multiple Ticket Set Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic gaming systems face challenges in controlling Return to Player (RTP) and reducing computational resources when awarding free play credits, and in increasing variability and randomness of display outcomes, particularly when using a single ticket set that can lead to repetitive outcomes and high computational burdens.
Innovation Solution
Implementing multiple ticket sets for paid and free gameplay, where each set has specific RTP and prize structures, and using a random number generator and algorithms to select tickets and facades, allowing for greater variability and control over gameplay length and outcomes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single ticket set is used for lottery-style game evaluation, then the system structure is simple, but the computational burden increases and RTP control becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single ticket set into multiple separate ticket sets (e.g., first ticket set, second ticket set, third ticket set), each containing different tickets with varying prize structures and RTP characteristics. This segmentation allows the system to select appropriate ticket sets based on game conditions, thereby reducing computational burden by avoiding evaluation of all tickets in a single large set while maintaining effective RTP control through strategic selection of smaller, targeted ticket sets.
2Quantity of substance
If a single ticket set is used, then memory storage requirements are reduced, but display outcome variability decreases leading to repetitive outcomes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the ticket collection into multiple specialized ticket sets, where each set contains a subset of tickets designed for specific game scenarios. This allows the system to load only the necessary ticket subsets into memory based on current game state, reducing overall memory requirements while maintaining high outcome variability through strategic selection of different ticket sets for different game instances.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic selection of ticket sets based on game conditions, such as whether the player is in base game mode or bonus game mode, the current credit balance, or random determination. This dynamic approach ensures that the most appropriate ticket set is loaded into memory for each game instance, optimizing both memory usage and outcome variability without requiring all tickets to be stored simultaneously.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple ticket sets with different RTP structures are implemented, then RTP control and gameplay variability improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent organizes tickets into multiple segmented sets (first ticket set, second ticket set, third ticket set), each with distinct RTP characteristics and prize structures. This segmentation enables the system to control RTP by selecting specific ticket sets based on game mode or conditions, while managing complexity through modular architecture where each ticket set is an independent, manageable unit with clearly defined selection criteria.
