Multi-reel Skill-based Redemption Game with Independent Spin Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional skill-based redemption games lack variability and sophistication in gameplay, leading to a less engaging experience for players, as all simulated reels typically spin and stop simultaneously, limiting winning patterns and player interaction.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a skill-based redemption game system where multiple simulated reels spin independently, allowing for varied spinning periods and velocities, enabling players to adjust reels to create winning combinations, thereby increasing gameplay complexity and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If all simulated reels spin and stop simultaneously, then the game operation is simple, but the gameplay variability and sophistication deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the reel system into multiple independent reels that can spin and stop at different times. Each reel is controlled separately, allowing players to spin specific reels individually rather than all reels simultaneously. This segmentation creates varied gameplay patterns while maintaining operational simplicity through intuitive individual reel control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic reel control where reels can spin at different velocities and stop at different times based on player input. The system allows for variable spinning periods and velocities for each reel, creating sophisticated winning patterns while maintaining ease of operation through user-friendly controls that adapt to player preferences.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple reels spin independently with varied velocities, then the gameplay sophistication improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a universal control system that manages multiple reels with different spinning characteristics using a single integrated platform. The reel control system is designed to handle varied velocities and stopping times for each reel through a unified interface, avoiding the need for separate complex control mechanisms for each reel while maintaining high gameplay sophistication.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes in reel spinning velocity and stopping time to create sophisticated gameplay without increasing physical device complexity. By programmatically controlling reel parameters (speed, duration, stopping point), the system achieves complex gameplay patterns using software-based control rather than additional mechanical components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If reels can be adjusted to create winning combinations, then the skill-based gameplay improves, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring winning patterns increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms that clearly indicate when a player has created a winning combination through reel adjustments. The system provides visual and auditory feedback to confirm winning patterns, making it easier for players to detect and measure their successes while maintaining skill-based gameplay through strategic reel selection and positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses color changes and visual indicators to highlight winning patterns on the reels. Different colors or lighting effects are applied to indicate matching symbols or winning combinations, simplifying the detection of winning patterns while preserving the skill element of strategically adjusting reels to create these patterns.

AI summary
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a multi-reel skill-based redemption game. An indication of a user desire to participate in the skill-based redemption game is received. The user's account balance is decreased, and simulated reels are spun. Adjustment arrows are displayed for a subset of the plurality of simulated reels. The player selects a simulated reel and a direction of adjustment for the simulated reel. If the player's adjustment creates a winning pattern, the user is rewarded with an increased account balance. The user may also be provided a bonus amount for achieving a number of consecutive wins.
