Gaming Wagering Interface With Quick-Bet Slider
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Classic wagering interfaces in gaming terminals, such as slot machines, require users to manually select the number of paylines and bet per payline for each spin, which can be cumbersome and does not adapt to individual player preferences, potentially reducing player engagement and entertainment value.
Innovation Solution
A gaming system with a controller that presents a wagering interface featuring player-selectable quick-bet elements, where each element represents a different total wager for a spin of symbol-bearing reels, divided among multiple paylines, and a slider to dynamically display a subset of these elements, allowing users to easily adjust and toggle between different wagering interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually select the number of paylines and bet per payline for each spin, then the wagering interface provides full control over betting parameters, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple quick-bet elements that represent predetermined wagering combinations of paylines and bet amounts. Users can directly select from these pre-configured options without manually adjusting each parameter, thereby eliminating the time-consuming manual setup process while maintaining full control over betting parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates simplified copies of complex wagering configurations in the form of quick-bet elements. Each quick-bet element encapsulates a complete wagering setup (multiple paylines and bet amounts), allowing users to select entire configurations at once rather than building them step-by-step, thus dramatically reducing operation time.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the wagering interface displays all available quick-bet elements, then users have access to complete wagering options, but the interface becomes cluttered and difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the complete set of quick-bet elements into multiple pages or groups that can be navigated sequentially. Instead of displaying all wagering options simultaneously, the interface divides them into manageable sections, reducing visual clutter while maintaining access to the full range of options through pagination or scrolling mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface dynamically adjusts the display of quick-bet elements based on user interactions. The system can highlight relevant options, adjust visibility based on current game state, or reorganize options based on user preferences, making the interface adaptable and easier to navigate while preserving access to all wagering configurations.
3Productivity
If the system provides pre-configured quick-bet elements, then wagering selection becomes faster and easier, but the customization flexibility may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The quick-bet elements are designed to serve multiple functions: they provide immediate pre-configured options for fast selection, while also serving as building blocks that users can combine or modify. The system allows users to select individual quick-bet elements or combine multiple elements to create custom wagering configurations, thus maintaining both speed and flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically adjusts and updates quick-bet element configurations based on user selections and game state. When users modify parameters, the system self-adjusts the available quick-bet options to reflect current settings, eliminating the need for manual reconfiguration while preserving customization capability.

AI summary
A gaming system includes a wagering interface that may include a plurality of player-selectable quick-bet elements with each quick-bet element indicating a different total wager for a spin of the plurality of reels. Each total wager is divided among a plurality of paylines associated with positions on the reels. A window is configured to display a subset of the plurality of quick-bet elements. A quick-bet element selection slider is configured to allow each of the plurality of player-selectable quick-bet elements to be displayed within the window. The selection slider is movable to a plurality of positions along a slider path such that the position of the selection slider on the slider path determines the subset of quick-bet elements to be displayed in the window. A wagering interface may include a toggling element for switching from a wagering interface having a plurality of player-selectable quick-bet elements to a classic-bet wagering interface.
