Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack an efficient method for allowing casino patrons to remotely view and purchase gambling results, limiting their ability to experience and record game outcomes outside of the casino environment.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that enable casino patrons to select and purchase a session of game plays, with outcomes generated on a gaming device, stored on a tangible medium like a DVD, allowing remote viewing and access to the outcomes via the internet or other networks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If outcomes are made available for remote viewing, then accessibility and convenience are improved, but system complexity and infrastructure requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote viewing accessibilityVSAvoidsystem infrastructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copy of the gaming outcome data and stores it on a tangible medium (DVD). This allows the outcome data to be viewed remotely without requiring complex live transmission infrastructure. The copy enables offline viewing while maintaining the integrity of the original gaming results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by capturing and storing the gaming outcomes on a tangible medium before the player needs to view them remotely. This pre-processing eliminates the need for complex real-time transmission systems and allows simple DVD-based distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If outcomes are recorded on a tangible medium, then remote viewing capability is improved, but manufacturing and distribution complexity worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote viewing capabilityVSAvoidDVD production and distribution
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a copy of the gaming outcome data on a DVD medium. This copying process is standardized and can be performed using existing DVD burning technology, making the manufacturing process relatively simple despite the added capability of remote viewing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential gaming outcome data from the complex gaming system and places it on a standalone DVD medium. This extraction simplifies the distribution process, as DVDs can be easily manufactured, stored, and distributed using existing infrastructure without requiring complex digital transmission systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

In accordance with some embodiments, a plurality of outcomes are generated and used to create a video presentation of representative outcomes. The video presentation is recorded onto a tangible medium (e.g., DVD or CD-ROM) or otherwise provided to a player (e.g., a player may access the video presentation online). This allows a player 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). A player who purchases such a video presentation may subsequently redeem it for a redemption value associated therewith. In some embodiments, the player may request such outcomes by presenting and/or selecting a session object and/or by interfacing with a tangible medium recording or production device (e.g., on a casino floor).
