Remote Gaming Outcome Viewing via Segmented Data Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current gaming technologies do not allow players to conveniently view and collect outcomes from gaming devices at remote locations or times, limiting playtime and revenue potential for casinos while also restricting access to gambling experiences across different jurisdictions.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that enable players to purchase and generate outcomes from gaming devices, which are then stored on a digital medium or made accessible online, allowing players to view and collect payouts at their convenience, regardless of their location, through a system involving a gaming device, slot movie server, and fulfillment server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If players view outcomes at the gaming device location, then outcomes can be collected immediately, but players cannot access gaming experiences from remote locations or different jurisdictions
Solution Approach 1:
The system separates the gaming outcome generation function from the outcome viewing function. The gaming device generates and transmits outcomes to a remote viewing location, allowing players to access gaming experiences from different jurisdictions while maintaining the ability to collect outcomes at the original device location through the transmitted data.
Solution Approach 2:
A communication system acts as an intermediary between the gaming device and the player's remote viewing location. This intermediary transmits outcome data from the gaming device to various viewing locations, enabling players to access outcomes remotely without compromising the immediate collection capability at the device.
2Duration of action of moving object
If players can view outcomes remotely at their convenience, then playtime and revenue potential increase, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gaming device is enhanced with multi-functionality to not only generate and display outcomes locally but also to transmit outcomes remotely through a communication system. This universal device can serve both local and remote players, extending playtime opportunities without requiring entirely separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares and transmits outcome data in advance or stores it for later access, allowing players to view outcomes at their convenience without adding real-time complexity during gameplay. Outcomes are generated and made available for remote viewing before or after the actual gaming action, extending accessibility without complicating the core gaming mechanism.
3Adaptability or versatility
If outcomes are generated and transmitted for remote viewing, then player accessibility across jurisdictions improves, but data transmission and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential outcome data needed for remote viewing and transmits only this extracted information, rather than transmitting all gaming data. This selective extraction minimizes data volume requirements while maintaining player accessibility across different jurisdictions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a data copy of the gaming outcomes for remote transmission and viewing. This copy can be stored and transmitted without affecting the original gaming process, allowing jurisdictional access while minimizing data requirements by transmitting only the necessary outcome information rather than complete gaming data streams.

AI summary
In accordance with some embodiments, a plurality of outcomes are generated for a wagering game. The plurality of outcomes are stored on a tangible medium (e.g., a DVD) or otherwise stored. The plurality of outcomes are sold to a player, for viewing by the player at a location remote from a casino.
