Credit and enabling system for virtual constructs in a hybrid game
View Patent ↗Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments of the invention operate a controlled entity hybrid game. A controlled entity hybrid game includes a real world engine constructed to provide a randomly generated payout of real world credits from at least one wager in a gambling game, an entertainment software engine constructed to execute an entertainment game providing outcomes based upon a player's skillful execution of the entertainment game; and a game world engine constructed to manage the entertainment software engine and communicate, to the gambling game, a gameplay gambling event occurrence based upon a player's instruction of a controlled entity to consume an element of the entertainment game that triggers a wager in the gambling game, and change the element on the basis of the randomly generated payout and an entertainment game variable.
1. A network distributed controlled entity hybrid gaming system, comprising:
a real world engine connected by a communication link to a game world engine, wherein the real world engine is constructed to:
receive from the game world engine via the communication link, a trigger of a wager of real world credit;
determine a gambling outcome for the wager of real world credit in response to the trigger; and
communicate to the game world engine via the communication link, the gambling outcome;
an entertainment software engine of a mobile device connected to the game world engine by a network, wherein the entertainment software engine is constructed to:
execute an entertainment game providing an entertainment game outcome based upon actions taken by a controlled entity instructed by a player;
determine an action of the game world character as instructed by the player, wherein the action includes utilization of a first amount of enabling elements of the entertainment game;
communicate to the game world engine via the network, the action taken by the game world character;
generate a perceivable output of the action taken by the game world character on a visual output device of the mobile device;
receive from the game world engine via the network, a second amount of enabling elements for use by the game world character in the entertainment game; and
the game world engine connected to the entertainment software engine by the network and connected to the real world engine by the communication link, wherein the game world engine is constructed to:
receive the action taken by the game world character;
determine a gameplay gambling event occurrence based on the action taken by the game world character;
generate the trigger of the wager of real world credit based on the gameplay gambling event occurrence;
communicate to the real world engine via the communication link, the trigger;
receive from the real world engine via the communication link, the gambling outcome;
generate a third amount of enabling elements based on the gambling result and a controlled entity condition of the game world character;
determine the second amount of enabling elements in a transport test based on a required environmental condition of the entertainment game, wherein the second amount of enabling elements is accessed from the third amount of enabling elements; and
communicate to the entertainment software engine via the network, the second amount of enabling elements.
2. The network distributed controlled entity hybrid gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the action taken by the game world character in utilization of the enabling element includes an action on an actionable element of the entertainment game.
3. The network distributed controlled entity hybrid gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the transport test is further based on a change in a game world credit caused by entertainment game play.
4. The network distributed controlled entity hybrid gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the transport test is further based an entertainment game object required for utilization of the enabling element.
5. The network distributed controlled entity hybrid gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the real world engine and the game world engine are constructed from a same processing apparatus.
6. The network distributed controlled entity hybrid gaming system of claim 1 ,
wherein the real world engine and the game world engine are constructed from separate processing apparatuses, and
wherein the communication link includes the network.
