Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional gaming table layout is used with side bets placed before the dealer, then the dealer can manage the bets, but the game participant has to ask the dealer to place or receive game tokens, taking time and efforts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables game participants to place side bets independently by providing dedicated bet areas for PLAYER PAIR and BANKER PAIR on the gaming table layout, eliminating the need to request dealer assistance for side bet placement
Solution Approach 2:
The gaming table layout is segmented into distinct bet areas for different bet types (PLAYER, BANKER, TIE, PLAYER PAIR, BANKER PAIR), allowing participants to directly place tokens in the appropriate area without dealer mediation
2Measurement precision
If a camera device is used to photograph and recognize game tokens, then the type and number of tokens can be recognized, but the difference in bet amount on each bet area is not detected
Solution Approach 1:
The control device receives recognition results from the chip determining device and calculates the ratio of side bet amounts to main bet amounts, providing feedback information about betting patterns that can be used for evaluation
Solution Approach 2:
The control device performs multiple functions: recording token types and numbers, calculating bet amount ratios, evaluating gaming table layout excellence, and managing betting data across different game areas
3Reliability
If the side bet areas are placed before the dealer, then the dealer can oversee the bets, but the game participant has to go through the dealer's hand, making it difficult to bet
Solution Approach 1:
The bet areas are arranged in a radial pattern around the center of the gaming table, allowing participants to access side bet areas from multiple directions without obstructing the dealer's view or requiring hand-off procedures
