Solution Overview
Problem
Existing internet-based wagering systems fail to replicate the immersive experience of a real casino, lacking the interactive and engaging elements that traditional casinos provide.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of an internet-based wagering system that includes a game wheel with multiple positions, including multiplier and non-multiplier positions, and a hardware processor that manages bets, applies multipliers, and facilitates payouts, creating a more immersive experience by simulating a real casino environment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If internet-based wagering systems use simple computer-generated interfaces, then the system is easy to operate and accessible from home, but the system fails to replicate the immersive casino environment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the copying principle by creating a virtual replica of a physical casino environment. A camera captures images of a real casino table and wheel, and these images are displayed on player devices to replicate the authentic casino atmosphere. This allows players to experience a real casino environment from home without traveling, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and immersion quality.
2Reliability
If the system uses a physical game wheel in a real casino, then the immersive experience is enhanced, but players must travel to the casino which is expensive and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a virtual copy of the physical casino environment by capturing images of the real game wheel and table using a camera. These images are transmitted to player devices, allowing players to participate in the game from anywhere without traveling to the physical casino, thus eliminating travel time and cost while maintaining immersion through authentic visual reproduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of cameras, image processing equipment, and display devices that mediate between the physical casino environment and remote players. This intermediary technology bridge allows the authentic casino experience to be transmitted electronically, resolving the contradiction between physical presence and remote accessibility.
3Reliability
If the system implements multiple wheel spins with multiplier positions, then player engagement and excitement are increased, but the game complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the wheel into distinct positions including multiplier positions and non-multiplier positions. The game is divided into multiple spins, with each spin having specific outcomes. This segmentation allows for increased player engagement through varied outcomes and multiplier effects while maintaining clear, manageable game rules that are easy to understand.

AI summary
Mechanisms for wagering comprising: receiving bet information describing bets, wherein the bet information includes a bet amount and a bet position on a game wheel for each bet; determining a payout amount for each bet; receiving first wheel spin information including a first wheel stop position for a first spin of the game wheel; determining that the first wheel stop position is one of at least one multiplier position on the game wheel having a multiplier value, and applying the multiplier value to the payout amount for each bet; receiving final wheel spin information including a final wheel stop position for a final pin f of the game wheel; and determining that the final wheel stop position is one of non-multiplier positions on the game wheel, and causing payouts to be made to each of the bets having a bet position matching the final wheel stop position.
