SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING A WINNINGS VALUE OF A GAMING DEVICE

摘要

A system and method for optimizing the final winnings value of a slot machine or other gaming device, comprising: obtaining a slot machine result, wherein the result comprises result values arranged in an N rows by M columns matrix of cells and an identified position within said matrix; determining an original winnings value; determining a subset of adjacent matrix cells as being adjacent to said identified position; determining all possible cell pairs within said determined subset; for each of said possible cell pairs: determine a modified matrix based on the result; determine a winnings value for said cell pair; comparing all determined winnings values, wherein all determined winnings values include the original winnings value and the winnings values determined for each modified matrix; determining a maximum winnings value from said comparison of all winnings values; and if the maximum winnings value is greater than zero, set the final winnings value of the slot machine result to the maximum winnings value; if the maximum winnings value is not greater than zero, repeat the previous method steps.

1. A method for optimizing the final winnings value of an enhanced slot machine, comprising:
obtaining a slot machine result, wherein the result comprises result values 310 arranged in an N rows 320 by M columns 330 original matrix 300 of cells and an identified position 340 corresponding to a cell within said matrix; determining an original winnings value as a function of the result values in said original matrix; determining a subset of adjacent matrix cells 410 as being adjacent to said identified position; determining all possible cell pairs within said determined subset; for each of said possible cell pairs:
i. determine a modified matrix, wherein the position of the values of the two cells comprised in the cell pair is swapped compared to their positions in the original matrix;ii. determining a winnings value for said cell pair as a function of the result values of said modified matrix; comparing all determined winnings values, wherein all determined winnings values include the original winnings value and the winnings values determined for each modified matrix; determining a maximum winnings value corresponding to the highest winnings value from said comparison of all winnings values; determining whether the maximum winnings value is greater than zero; and
i. if the maximum winnings value is greater than zero, set the final winnings value of the slot machine result to the maximum winnings value;ii. if the maximum winnings value is not greater than zero, repeat the previous method steps.
