3.3 Player interaction pa erns
2. Multiple individual players versus game
This is a game structure in which multiple players
compete against a game system in the company
of each other. Action is not directed toward each
other, and no interaction between participants is
required or necessary. Examples include bingo,
roule e, and Slingo. This is a rarely used pa ern
in digital gaming, although AOL had a lot of success
with their online Slingo game. Essentially, this
pa ern is a single player game that is played in
the company of other players who are also playing
the same game. This pa ern works well for noncompetitive
players who enjoy the activity and the
social arena (a large percentage of Slingo players
are women). This pa ern also works well for gambling
games.
