Wagering Game Outcome Recording for Remote Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack an efficient method for allowing casino patrons to remotely view and purchase gambling outcomes, which are typically only accessible on-site, limiting player convenience and experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for determining and selling wagering game outcomes, where outcomes are recorded on a tangible medium like a DVD or stored on a server, enabling remote access and purchase, allowing players to view results via various devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If gambling outcomes are made accessible only on-site at the casino, then the system complexity remains low and operations are simple, but player convenience and accessibility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the gambling outcomes (video recording) that can be accessed remotely without copying the physical casino environment. The outcome data is captured, stored, and transmitted as a replicable digital copy that players can view at home, resolving the contradiction by enabling remote access without complex physical duplication of the casino infrastructure
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (server, communication network, and player device) that mediates between the casino outcome generation system and the player. This intermediary layer enables remote access to outcomes by capturing, transmitting, and presenting the data without requiring direct physical access to the casino, thus improving convenience while managing system complexity through standardized communication protocols
2Adaptability or versatility
If gambling outcomes are recorded and made available remotely, then player accessibility is improved, but the complexity of outcome determination and data handling increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential outcome data from the complex gambling process and separates it into a standalone recordable format. By taking out only the critical outcome information (win/loss status, payout amount, timing) and encoding it in a standardized manner, the system enables remote access while simplifying data handling complexity through selective extraction rather than complete data replication
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the state of the outcome data from transient real-time signals to a stable recorded format suitable for remote storage and transmission. By transforming the outcome data into a persistent, standardized digital representation that can be stored on media and transmitted through communication networks, the system achieves remote accessibility while managing data handling complexity through parameter standardization
3Loss of time
If outcomes are made available for remote viewing, then player convenience is enhanced, but the time required for outcome determination and processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by capturing and recording the gambling outcomes immediately during the game session, preparing the data in advance for later remote access. The outcome data is processed, encoded, and stored during the gambling event itself, so when the player requests remote viewing, the data is already ready, thus reducing access time while maintaining outcome processing speed through parallel preparation
Data Source
AI summary
In accordance with some embodiments, a batch run of sessions is executed. The batch run comprises a plurality of sessions characterized by at least one common parameter and value thereof. A session comprises a plurality of outcomes of a wagering game. A video presentation may be created based on each such session of a batch run. The video presentation may be recorded onto a game disc (e.g., a DVD or CD-ROM) and sold to a player for viewing at a location remote from a casino.
