Multi-Level Game Structure with Progressive Jackpot
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional games of chance, such as keno and bingo, typically have only one level, leading to quick game completion without allowing players to build excitement or extend their play experience.
Innovation Solution
Introducing a multi-level game structure where players can progress through multiple levels, with winners having the option to proceed to the next level, and featuring a progressive jackpot that rolls over if not won, along with adjustable payout tables based on player subscriptions and game criteria.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If traditional single-level game structure is used, then game simplicity is maintained, but player engagement and game duration are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The game is divided into multiple levels (first level, second level, third level, etc.), where each level contains specific game elements and winning conditions. Players progress through segmented levels rather than playing a single continuous game, extending overall game duration while maintaining manageable complexity at each stage.
Solution Approach 2:
The game structure adds a temporal dimension by introducing sequential levels that players must complete in order. This transforms the traditional single-dimension game into a multi-dimensional experience where players progress through time-based stages, each with its own payout table and winning criteria.
2Adaptability or versatility
If progressive jackpot is introduced, then player excitement and potential winnings are increased, but game complexity and payout management are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The payout tables are made dynamic rather than static. Each level has its own configurable payout table that can be adjusted independently, allowing the game to adapt to different playing conditions, player subscriptions, and game criteria. This enables flexible prize structures including progressive jackpots without requiring a single complex unified system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows changing of payout parameters at each level based on different criteria such as player subscription type, game difficulty, and winning conditions. By parameterizing the payout structures, the game achieves versatility in reward distribution while keeping each level's complexity manageable through standardized parameter management.
3Productivity
If multiple winning opportunities are provided, then player engagement is improved, but game completion time and odds management become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple winning opportunities are segmented across different levels rather than concentrated in a single game. Each level presents specific winning chances with defined odds, allowing players to progress through multiple stages of winning opportunities without creating an unmanageably complex single-game structure.

AI summary
A method for playing a multi-level game of chance wherein players can advance to the next level with a win. As the game progresses through levels, non-winning players are eliminated and winning players are segregated by type of win. In general, each level provides greater winnings. In another example game format, a progressive jackpot may also be offered.
