Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional gaming machines with a single roulette wheel lack player interest and visibility, limiting the engagement and excitement of the gaming experience.
Innovation Solution
A presentation device in a gaming machine featuring multiple roulette wheels of different diameters, rotatably held on the same center line, controlled by motors that receive signals from a communication part to rotate, change direction, speed, and stop positions, enhancing interest and visibility through synchronized and varied presentations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single roulette wheel is used, then the device complexity is low, but player interest and visibility are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The single roulette wheel is segmented into multiple independent roulette wheels (first, second, and third roulette wheels) that can rotate independently. Each wheel has its own motor and can display different results, allowing for more varied and engaging presentations while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-wheel one-dimensional presentation to a multi-wheel three-dimensional arrangement. The roulette wheels are positioned at different radial distances from the rotation center, creating vertical and radial dimensions that enhance visibility and player engagement through layered presentation
2Area of stationary object
If multiple roulette wheels of different diameters are arranged on the same center line, then visibility and player interest are enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is segmented into independent control units for each roulette wheel, with each wheel having its own motor controlled by a dedicated control part. This modular approach manages complexity by dividing the control function into manageable segments rather than using a single complex control system
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple control parts are merged into a unified control system that coordinates the rotation of different roulette wheels. The control parts work together to synchronize wheel rotations, manage stopping positions, and coordinate light effects, combining individual controls into a cohesive system that enhances visibility while managing overall complexity
3Adaptability or versatility
If roulette wheels rotate at different speeds and directions, then presentation engagement is improved, but control precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs dynamic control where each roulette wheel can rotate at variable speeds and directions based on presentation requirements. The control parts adjust rotation parameters in real-time, enabling dynamic presentations with different wheel speeds and directions while maintaining precision through electronic control rather than mechanical constraints
Solution Approach 2:
The control system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the control parts receive signals from communication parts and adjust wheel rotation accordingly. This feedback loop ensures precise control of rotation speeds and directions by continuously monitoring and adjusting wheel positions to match desired presentation outcomes
