Wager Gaming Voting Leaderboard System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wager-based gaming systems lack an effective mechanism to engage players through interactive voting systems that reward participation and influence outcomes in external events like reality shows or talent competitions, with existing methods failing to fully leverage player interaction and voting incentives.
Innovation Solution
A wager gaming method and system that allows players to earn and apply voting points to candidates in polls, with the points being awarded based on trigger events during gameplay, such as exceeding a coin-in threshold or achieving bonuses, and the results influencing scores in external events, with rewards given to players based on their voting choices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional player tracking systems are used to offer rewards based on gameplay, then players receive standard rewards, but player engagement and interaction are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the player tracking system with a voting system, merging two separate functions into one integrated system. The player tracking system that already monitors gameplay is extended to also track voting points and poll participation, eliminating the need for a completely separate voting system while enhancing player engagement through interactive voting capabilities
2Ease of operation
If voting points are awarded based on trigger events during gameplay, then player interaction increases, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically awards voting points based on trigger events detected during gameplay, such as achieving certain game milestones or meeting coin-in thresholds. This self-service approach eliminates manual point allocation, allowing the system to automatically monitor gameplay conditions and distribute voting points without requiring complex manual intervention, thereby simplifying operation while maintaining engagement
3Productivity
If voting points are drawn from player-associated points based on trigger events, then voting becomes more rewarding, but tracking and management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The player tracking system serves multiple functions: it tracks traditional gameplay metrics for standard rewards, monitors trigger events for voting point allocation, manages the distribution of voting points to polls, and tracks the impact on external events. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be separate complex systems into one unified tracking mechanism, managing point allocation across different reward types without proportionally increasing complexity

AI summary
Techniques and equipment for providing a voting point leaderboard system are provided. Players playing wagering games may be awarded voting points for use in a poll with a plurality of candidates in exchange for game-play related activity. Players voting for the winning candidate in the poll may be given an award. Polls may include candidates which may be involved in a real-world contest. Players may be rewarded for voting for the candidate which wins the real-world contest.
