determine accumulation of a collective element of the multi-player cooperative skill based entertainment game resulting from the player input from the one or more of the plurality of players, wherein the collective element is available for use by the plurality of players of the skill based entertainment game during play of the multi-player cooperative skill based entertainment game; and
at least one processor configured as a game world engine connected to the entertainment software engine by a network, wherein the game world engine is constructed to:
receive, via the network, from the entertainment software engine, data regarding the accumulation of the collective element;
trigger execution of the gambling game by the real world engine based on the accumulation of the collective element of the skill based entertainment game; and
distribute to the plurality of players of the skill based entertainment game, the gambling outcome of real world credit of the gambling game of the real world engine.
2. The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the network is a local area network.
