Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If bonus game parameters are predetermined or randomly determined, then the system is simple to operate, but player interaction and enjoyment are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system collects bonus game features during base game play before the bonus game is triggered. Players accumulate features such as multipliers, wild symbols, and reel modifications during regular gameplay, which are then available for selection when the bonus game is activated. This preliminary collection process enhances player engagement while maintaining simple operational mechanics.
Solution Approach 2:
The bonus game features are made dynamic and selectable rather than fixed. Players can choose from multiple collected features to apply to their bonus game, creating a dynamic customization experience. The system allows players to adjust their bonus game parameters based on their collected features, transforming static predetermined parameters into dynamic player-chosen configurations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If players can collect and apply multiple bonus game features, then player customization and enjoyment are enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bonus game features are segmented into distinct, manageable categories such as multipliers, wild symbols, reel modifications, and scatter symbol enhancements. Each feature type is independently collected and can be separately selected and applied during the bonus game. This segmentation allows players to customize their experience without overwhelming system complexity, as each feature module operates independently.
3Productivity
If bonus game features are collected during base game play, then player engagement is increased, but the game duration and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The feature collection process is merged with the base game play rather than being a separate activity. Players collect bonus game features naturally during their regular base game gameplay without requiring additional time or actions. The collection occurs seamlessly as part of the existing game mechanics, increasing engagement without extending overall play duration.
Data Source
AI summary
A processor circuit generates a first game result for a wagering game, including a bonus game feature trigger event. Based on the bonus game feature trigger event, a first bonus game feature is stored in a collection of available bonus game features associated with the wagering game. A second game result for the wagering game is generated including a bonus game trigger event. Based on the bonus game feature trigger event, a bonus game is initiated, the first bonus game feature is applied to the bonus game, and a bonus game result for the bonus game is generated.
