Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack the ability to efficiently allow casino patrons to view gambling results remotely, limiting their experience and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that enables casino patrons to purchase and view gambling outcomes remotely by generating outcomes on a gaming device, storing them on a tangible medium like a DVD, or accessing them via a server, allowing for remote playback on various devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If gambling outcomes are viewed only at the casino, then the gambling experience is immediate and authentic, but the convenience and accessibility for patrons are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the gambling session outcomes and stores it on a tangible medium (DVD). This allows patrons to view the outcomes remotely without accessing the actual gambling system, resolving the contradiction by providing convenience through copying while keeping the original system simple and secure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that includes a server and tangible medium storage. This intermediary layer enables remote access to gambling outcomes without directly connecting patrons to the casino's gambling systems, thus improving convenience while maintaining system simplicity and security through the intermediary buffer.
2Adaptability or versatility
If gambling outcomes are made accessible remotely, then patron convenience and experience are enhanced, but the security and integrity of the gambling process may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent copies only the outcomes of the gambling sessions onto a tangible medium, not the gambling process itself. This selective copying allows remote accessibility of results while keeping the actual gambling process secure and uninterruptible, thus maintaining integrity while improving adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the gambling system into two independent parts: the gambling process (remaining secure at the casino) and the outcome records (copied to tangible medium for remote access). This segmentation allows remote accessibility of outcomes without compromising the security and integrity of the actual gambling process.
3Ease of operation
If outcomes are stored on tangible medium like DVD, then remote viewing is enabled, but the manufacturing and distribution process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying technology to transfer gambling outcomes onto standard tangible media like DVDs. This approach enables remote viewing capability while leveraging existing, well-established manufacturing and distribution infrastructure, thus minimizing the added complexity of manufacturing and distribution.

AI summary
In accordance with some embodiments, a plurality of outcomes are generated and used to create a video presentation of representative outcomes (e.g., for a blackjack game, for a video poker game) for one or more players. The video presentation is recorded onto a tangible medium (e.g., DVD or CD-ROM) or otherwise provided to one or more players (e.g., a player may access the video presentation online). This allows one or more players to purchase a video presentation of (e.g., predetermined) outcomes in a jurisdiction in which gambling is legal yet view the presentation at the player's convenience (e.g., from any jurisdiction and at any time). At least one player who is associated with such a video presentation may subsequently redeem it for a redemption value associated therewith.
