Parallel Slot And Reward Game Display For Uninterrupted Gameplay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional gaming machines can only run a slot game or a reward game at a time, leading to interruptions in gameplay and loss of revenue during reward games, which are often played for free.
Innovation Solution
A game system that simultaneously displays a main real-time slot game image and a sub real-time reward game image using a display device with a main and at least one sub display area, allowing both games to run concurrently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a slot game is interrupted to run a reward game, then the reward game can be played for free, but the slot game gameplay is broken and no additional revenue is generated during the interruption period
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into a main display area for the slot game and a sub display area for the reward game. This segmentation allows both games to be displayed simultaneously without interrupting the slot game gameplay, while still providing the free reward game to players.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-display paradigm to a multi-display paradigm by adding a sub display area. This dimensional change enables the reward game to run in parallel with the slot game, eliminating the time loss associated with game interruptions.
2Ease of operation
If only one game can run at a time, then the system is simple to manage, but players experience broken gameplay flow and the operator loses potential revenue
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into a main display area for the slot game and a sub display area for the reward game. This segmentation allows both games to be displayed simultaneously without interrupting the slot game gameplay, while still providing the free reward game to players.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device is designed with multi-functionality to handle both the slot game and reward game simultaneously. The main display area handles the primary slot game while the sub display area handles the reward game, allowing the system to perform multiple functions without complicating the overall operation.
3Duration of action of moving object
If the reward game is displayed separately, then the slot game can continue uninterrupted, but the player cannot see the reward game progress simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into a main display area for the slot game and a sub display area for the reward game. This segmentation allows both games to be displayed simultaneously without interrupting the slot game gameplay, while still providing the free reward game to players.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-display paradigm to a multi-display paradigm by adding a sub display area. This dimensional change enables the reward game to run in parallel with the slot game, eliminating the time loss associated with game interruptions.

AI summary
The invention provides a game system capable of maintaining gameplay continuity for a player, including an operation element, a game processing element, and a display device. The game processing unit allows a player to operate to play the slot game and generate a primary game process, and produces a main real-time game image associated with the slot game based on the primary game process. When a reward game is triggered, the game processing unit initiates a sub-game process to generate a sub real-time game image associated with the reward game. The main and sub real-time game images are generated simultaneously. The display device includes a main display area displaying the main real-time game image and at least one sub display area displaying the sub real-time game image. This allows the main and sub real-time game images to be displayed simultaneously, ensuring that the primary game process continues without interruption.
