Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the gaming system provides fixed wheel activation in secondary games, then the game structure is simple, but player engagement and award potential are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic wheel activation where the number of active wheels in secondary games is determined by the player's wager amount level. The system transitions from fixed wheel configuration to dynamic configuration based on player input, allowing 1-5 wheels to be active depending on the wager level selected in the primary game.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of wheel quantity from a fixed value to a variable parameter that depends on the wager amount level. Different wager levels (Level 1-5) correspond to different numbers of active wheels (1-5), creating a direct parameter relationship between wager amount and wheel activation.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple wheels are activated based on wager amount, then award potential increases, but the complexity of determining active wheels increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines which wheels should be active based on the wager amount level without requiring manual player selection. The processor autonomously maps the wager level to the corresponding number of active wheels and assigns specific wheels to be active, eliminating the need for complex player interaction in wheel selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent pre-establishes the mapping between wager levels and wheel quantities before the game plays out. The system has predetermined that Level 1 wager activates 1 wheel, Level 2 activates 2 wheels, and so on, allowing the wheel activation to be determined in advance based on the wager amount without requiring real-time complex calculations.
