Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional Sic Bo games use only three standard dice, then the game rules are simple and easy to understand, but the betting options are limited and player engagement is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the traditional three-dice system into two separate sets: a first set of three standard dice for traditional Sic Bo betting, and a second set of three special dice with unique symbols for side bet wagering. This segmentation allows players to engage in both traditional and enhanced betting options independently, increasing versatility without overwhelming complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The gaming system is designed to support multiple functions: traditional Sic Bo wagering on the first set of dice, side bet wagering on the second set of dice with unique symbols, and combined wagering across both sets. This multi-functionality allows a single game platform to serve both traditional players and those seeking enhanced betting variety.
2Adaptability or versatility
If Sic Bo games offer high award ratios for low appearance frequency outcomes, then player excitement increases, but the house edge becomes difficult to manage and game balance is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates traditional Sic Bo wagering from side bet wagering into distinct betting zones and dice sets. Each segment has its own paytable and house edge characteristics, allowing the casino to manage risk independently for each game type while offering players diverse options with different risk-reward profiles.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces unique symbols on the second set of dice that are not standard numbers 1-6, creating a distinct probability distribution and payoff structure for side bets. This parameter change allows for customized payout ratios that can offer high excitement for specific outcomes while maintaining overall house edge control through the segmented game design.
