Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional roulette games are used, then the game structure is simple and easy to operate, but the gameplay lacks innovation and player attraction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple roulette balls (first ball and second ball) to be propelled simultaneously onto a single spinning roulette wheel, merging traditional single-ball roulette gameplay with multi-ball dynamics. This creates new wagering opportunities and gameplay variations while maintaining the core roulette wheel structure, thus improving gameplay innovation without completely redesigning the system.
Solution Approach 2:
The roulette wheel serves multiple functions: it spins traditionally for the first ball, simultaneously receives the second ball, and provides multiple stopping positions for both balls. The system enables both traditional single-ball wagering and new multi-ball wagering options, making the device universally applicable to various game modes and increasing player attraction.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple balls are propelled onto the wheel, then player interest and odds are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The ball propelling mechanism is segmented into separate components: a first ball propelling device for propelling the first ball, and a second ball propelling device for propelling the second ball. Each device can be independently controlled and positioned, allowing flexible wagering options while managing complexity through modular design. The segmentation enables different propelling sequences and timing options.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates dynamic control elements including adjustable propelling forces, variable timing between ball propellings, and selectable propelling sequences. The controller can dynamically adjust when each ball is propelled, how hard each ball is propelled, and the order of propelling, creating diverse gameplay scenarios without requiring complete system redesign.
