Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual switching between games is implemented, then players can select different wagering games, but the process becomes time-consuming and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-determines a series of wagering games in advance before the player begins playing. This eliminates the need for manual switching during gameplay, as the game series has already been selected and prepared. The player simply continues playing through the predetermined series without interruption or manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The gaming device automatically manages the game series selection and switching without requiring player intervention. The system self-determines the sequence of games and automatically transitions between them, freeing the player from the cumbersome manual switching process while maintaining game variety.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual game switching is required, then players can change games, but substantial new interest and entertainment value are not added
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-determines a series of wagering games in advance before the player begins playing. This eliminates the need for manual switching during gameplay, as the game series has already been selected and prepared. The player simply continues playing through the predetermined series without interruption or manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The gaming device automatically manages the game series selection and switching without requiring player intervention. The system self-determines the sequence of games and automatically transitions between them, freeing the player from the cumbersome manual switching process while maintaining game variety.
3Device complexity
If a single game is played on a gaming device, then the device structure is simple, but player entertainment and engagement are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The gaming device is designed to execute multiple different wagering games within a single device structure. Rather than requiring separate devices for each game, one gaming device can host a series of different games, providing multi-functionality without significantly increasing physical complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-determines a series of wagering games in advance before the player begins playing. This eliminates the need for manual switching during gameplay, as the game series has already been selected and prepared. The player simply continues playing through the predetermined series without interruption or manual intervention.

AI summary
A wagering method is provided that allows players or gaming establishments to specify conditions which when satisfied, reconfigure the gaming device to change game play from a first game to a second game. The condition may depend upon the value of a parameter—generally related to game play—to determine if the condition is valid and triggers the reconfiguration. The second game may be selected from a game on the same gaming device, from a game on a different gaming device, or a game played by a specific player.
