Cryptographic Token Paytable Switching for Personalized Wagering Games
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wagering games lack innovative features to enhance player interaction and enjoyment, necessitating additional options for player engagement.
Innovation Solution
Implementing cryptographic tokens that modify paytables in wagering games, offering enhanced RTP percentages, volatility changes, and personalized gameplay experiences based on player preferences and history, with tokens that can be traded, expire, or increase in value with play.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional wagering games are used, then the game structure is simple and easy to operate, but player engagement and enjoyment are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The paytable is made dynamic by allowing it to change based on cryptographic tokens held by the player. The system automatically modifies paytable entries (e.g., adjusting RTP percentages, adding bonus features, changing volatility) in response to token conditions, creating an adaptive gaming experience without requiring manual player intervention to reconfigure game parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes key game parameters such as return-to-player (RTP) percentages, win frequencies, and payout structures based on the type and quantity of cryptographic tokens the player possesses. This allows the same base game to present different gameplay characteristics and reward structures to different players, enhancing engagement while maintaining a stable core game architecture.
2Adaptability or versatility
If paytable modifications are implemented using cryptographic tokens, then player engagement is enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Cryptographic tokens serve as an intermediary mechanism that bridges the gap between player identity/preferences and paytable configuration. Instead of requiring complex direct communication between player accounts and game configuration systems, the tokens act as self-contained carriers of game modification instructions, simplifying the overall system architecture while enabling personalized game benefits.
Solution Approach 2:
The cryptographic tokens automatically trigger their associated paytable modifications without requiring manual processing or intervention from the gaming system. When a player inserts a token, the system automatically reads the token's cryptographic data and applies the corresponding game benefits, reducing system complexity by eliminating the need for complex authentication and configuration workflows.
3Ease of operation
If traditional fixed paytables are used, then the game operation is simple, but player enjoyment and interaction options are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The paytable is segmented into multiple configurable entries that can be independently modified based on token types. Rather than a single fixed paytable, the system maintains a base paytable structure and applies modular token-based modifications (such as bonus multipliers, feature unlocks, or RTP adjustments) to create varied gameplay experiences while preserving the simplicity of the core game operation.

AI summary
A method includes determining, by a processor circuit, a cryptographic token associated with a player at a gaming device. The method further includes modifying, by the processor circuit, a paytable for a wagering game at the gaming device from a first paytable to a second paytable associated with the cryptographic token. The method further includes receiving, by the processor circuit, a wager for the wagering game from the player at the gaming device. The method further includes determining, by the processor circuit, whether an outcome for the wagering game is a winning outcome. The method further includes, in response to a determination that the outcome for the wagering game is a winning outcome, determining, by the processor circuit, a game award for the wagering game based on the wager and the second paytable. The method further includes awarding, by the processor circuit, the game award to the player.
