Remote Gambling Outcome Video Distribution System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack an efficient method for enabling casino patrons to remotely view gambling results, with existing solutions often requiring physical presence and limited flexibility in accessing game outcomes.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for generating, storing, and selling outcomes of wagering games, such as keno or bingo, on a tangible medium like a DVD or via a server, allowing players to access and view game results remotely, including the generation of outcomes, their representation, and redemption of value associated with these outcomes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If gambling results are made accessible remotely through digital media, then player convenience and accessibility are improved, but security risks and fraud potential increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates digital copies of gambling outcomes and stores them on removable media (DVDs, CDs) that can be physically distributed and viewed remotely. This copying approach enables players to access results without being physically present at the casino, improving accessibility while containing security risks within controlled digital formats
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a centralized server system as an intermediary between the gambling outcomes and the players. The server authenticates players, manages the distribution of outcome data, and controls the viewing process, thereby mitigating security risks through layered authentication and controlled access
2Reliability
If physical presence at the casino is required for viewing results, then security and control are maintained, but player convenience and flexibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates digital copies of gambling outcomes that can be viewed remotely at players' convenience. The outcomes are stored on removable media and can be accessed at home or elsewhere, eliminating the need for physical presence while maintaining security through controlled digital distribution
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a physical viewing dimension (requiring presence at the casino) to a digital viewing dimension (accessible remotely through media players). This dimensional shift enables players to view results in different locations and times without compromising security, as the digital copies can be controlled through authentication mechanisms
3Adaptability or versatility
If outcomes are sold on tangible media, then remote viewing capability is enabled, but device complexity and system requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses standard removable media formats (DVDs, CDs) that players already possess or can easily obtain. These media store the outcome data in a format compatible with common players, avoiding the need for specialized or complex viewing devices while still enabling remote access to gambling results

AI summary
In accordance with some embodiments, a plurality of outcomes are generated and used to create a video presentation of representative outcomes for one or more players (e.g., for a keno game, for a bingo game). 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.
