Jackpot Drawing Machine Payout Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional jackpot game machines reduce game attractiveness when one player wins the jackpot, as other players lose interest due to the restoration of payout amount data to initial values, leading to decreased desire for winning other prizes and reduced overall game engagement.
Innovation Solution
A drawing machine for jackpot games that awards multiple types of prizes, with a payout processing unit that decreases only the payout amount data corresponding to the awarded prize while maintaining or increasing other payout amounts, and a payout-amount increasing unit that cumulatively increases payout amounts under specific conditions, ensuring ongoing player interest.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the payout amount data is restored to initial value after one player wins the jackpot, then the jackpot game can be reset and played again, but other players lose interest and game attractiveness is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the single jackpot prize into multiple types of jackpot prizes (first jackpot prize, second jackpot prize, etc.), each with its own payout amount data. When one player wins a specific jackpot type, only the corresponding payout amount data is restored to initial value, while other jackpot types maintain their accumulated payout amounts. This segmentation allows other players to remain interested in other jackpot types even after one player wins.
2Device complexity
If only one jackpot prize can be awarded in the drawing, then the drawing mechanism is simple, but other players lose willingness to win after one player wins
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the jackpot prize into multiple types (first jackpot prize, second jackpot prize, etc.), each with independent payout amount data. The drawing mechanism determines which jackpot type is awarded, and only the corresponding payout amount data is restored to initial value after awarding. This maintains multiple attractive prizes without significantly complicating the drawing mechanism.
3Duration of action of moving object
If the payout amount data is restored to initial value after jackpot award, then the jackpot cycle can be restarted, but the cumulative payout accumulation is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the cumulative payout amount into separate data for each jackpot type. When a jackpot is awarded, only the corresponding payout amount data is restored to initial value, while other jackpot types continue to accumulate their payout amounts independently. This allows the jackpot cycle to restart for the awarded type while maintaining accumulation continuity for other types.

AI summary
The present invention provides a drawing machine for jackpot game, etc., capable of preventing reduction of the game attractiveness even when one player wins the jackpot prize.A drawing machine for jackpot game having a drawing unit for carrying out a drawing to decide a winning in which any one of a plurality of types of jackpot prizes is awarded or a non-winning, includes: a storage unit for storing payout amount data indicating an amount of payout-objects to be paid out to a player when the drawing unit decides that any one of the plurality of types of jackpot prizes is awarded; a payout processing unit for executing a payout process in which, when the drawing unit decides that any one of the plurality of types of jackpot prizes is awarded, executing a data process of a plurality of payout amount data stored in the storage unit such that after the payout amount data corresponding to the type of the awarded jackpot prize is read from the storage unit, a payout amount decreasing process for decreasing an amount indicated by the payout amount data stored in the storage unit is executed, but the payout amount decreasing process of amounts corresponding to payout amount data other than the payout amount data is not executed; and a payout-amount increasing unit for increasing cumulatively an amount indicated by at least one of the plurality of payout amount data stored in the storage unit when a predetermined payout increasing condition are satisfied.
