Solution Overview
Problem
Existing casino game streaming systems face issues such as human error, monotony, and the potential for outcomes to be known before betting is closed, lacking detailed mechanisms for secure and modular operation over the Internet.
Innovation Solution
A casino game streaming system utilizing pseudorandomly selected video fragments of casino games, featuring human croupiers, with a phased approach that includes player authentication, wager management, and outcome determination by a Random Number Generator (RNG) to ensure secure, lifelike, and variable gameplay.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If human croupiers are used to conduct casino games, then the gameplay experience is more lifelike and engaging, but human error and potential for fraud increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the casino game operation into distinct functional modules: video fragment storage, RNG-based outcome determination, automated croupier simulation, and result announcement. This segmentation allows each component to be independently controlled and verified, eliminating human error while preserving the lifelike gameplay experience through automated coordination of these segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an automated computer system as an intermediary between the player and the game outcome. This intermediary uses RNG to determine results and automatically selects and plays video fragments, acting as a trusted mediator that eliminates human bias and fraud while maintaining the appearance of a live croupier through video playback.
2Productivity
If the game outcome is determined in advance, then the betting process can be streamlined, but the risk of fraud and manipulation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-recording video fragments of croupier actions and pre-determining game outcomes using RNG before the betting phase. However, these preliminary actions are kept separate and isolated, with the outcome only being revealed and announced after betting closes, thus streamlining the process while maintaining fairness through cryptographic verification and automated control.
3Reliability
If automated systems are used to eliminate human error, then wager integrity improves, but the lifelike quality and variability of gameplay may decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by using RNG to randomly select from multiple pre-recorded video fragments for each game scenario. This ensures that even though the system is automated, the gameplay remains variable and unpredictable, as different video sequences are dynamically selected based on random outcomes, preserving lifelike quality while maintaining automated reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by varying the selection of video fragments based on RNG-determined outcomes. Different video clips with different durations, croupier actions, and visual characteristics are selected to match the random game results, ensuring that each game session has unique visual characteristics while the underlying automated control maintains integrity.
4Productivity
If video fragments are stitched together to create continuous gameplay, then the streaming efficiency improves, but the complexity of ensuring communication integrity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the video stream into discrete, pre-recorded fragments that can be independently stored, managed, and transmitted. This segmentation simplifies the streaming architecture by allowing fragments to be retrieved and played back in sequence based on RNG outcomes, improving efficiency while the modular structure makes it easier to verify the integrity of each segment through cryptographic means.
Data Source
AI summary
A method is disclosed for pseudorandomly generating a streamed video presentation of a draw game from a plurality of previously recorded video fragments where players viewing the streamed video presentation can wager on its outcome. At the conclusion of wagering, a random number generator determines the outcome of the drawing. The method enables the automated generation of a lifelike video draw game with wagering by pseudorandomly generating a scene of the streamed video presentation where player wagering is enabled. After the scene with wagering enabled is completed, another scene is pseudorandomly generated with wagering disabled. At the start of the streaming of the scene with wagering disabled, the connection statuses of all players are verified, with only players with active connections having their wager honored/processed.
