Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional jackpot style game is used, then players can participate in a bonus game, but there is no competition element among players and player engagement is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The roulette display dynamically adjusts the number of frames based on the player's wager amount. When the player increases the wager, more frames are added to the roulette, visually representing increased winning odds. This dynamic adaptation creates a direct link between player action and game state, enhancing engagement and competition
Solution Approach 2:
The roulette uses visual representation with different colored frames to display winning odds for multiple players. Each player's wager-dependent frames are displayed with distinct visual characteristics, allowing players to easily identify and compare their winning probabilities against other players in real-time
2Loss of information
If winning odds are displayed on a traditional roulette, then players can see their odds, but the odds do not change based on wager and competition is not encouraged
Solution Approach 1:
The roulette is configured to dynamically change the number of frames based on the player's wager amount. As the player increases their wager, additional frames are added to the roulette display, visually representing improved winning odds. This dynamic adjustment makes the winning odds adaptive rather than static
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of the number of frames on the roulette based on the wager amount. This parameter change directly reflects the player's betting decision and adjusts the visual representation of winning probability accordingly, creating a responsive and adaptable display system
3Productivity
If multiple players compete on the roulette, then competition is encouraged, but the complexity of the game increases
Solution Approach 1:
The roulette serves multiple functions: it displays winning odds for multiple players simultaneously, adjusts the number of frames based on wager amounts, and determines the winner through the spinning mechanism. This multi-functionality allows the system to handle player competition without requiring separate complex subsystems for each function
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses symbolic representation where each player is represented by frames on the roulette. Rather than creating complex individual displays for each player, the system uses simplified frame symbols that copy the essential information (winning odds) in a visually intuitive format that can be displayed on a single roulette interface
