Abstract

Claims (81)

1. A fungible object award interleaved wagering system, comprising:

an interactive controller operatively connected to an application controller by a network, the interactive controller configured to:

provide an interactive application;

distribute, to an application controller, application telemetry;

receive, from the application controller, an object based on the application telemetry; and

generate a visual display of the object within the interactive application;

a wager controller operatively connected to the application controller, the wager controller constructed to:

receive a credit input;

receive, from the application controller, a wager request;

generate a wager outcome based on the wager request using a random number generator; and

distribute, to an object controller, the wager outcome; and

the application controller operatively connected to the interactive controller and the wager controller, the application controller constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, the application telemetry;

distribute, to the wager controller, the wager request based on the received application telemetry;

receive, from the object controller, an object, wherein the object is generated by the object controller based on the wager outcome; and

distribute, to the interactive controller, the object.

2. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 1 ,

wherein the wager controller and the application controller are constructed from a same device.

3. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 1 ,

wherein the wager controller and the application controller are constructed from different devices.

4. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 3 ,

wherein the wager controller is operatively connected to the application controller by the network.

5. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the object controller is constructed to:

receive, from the wager controller, the wager outcome;

generate the object based on the wager outcome; and

distribute, to the application controller, the generated object.

6. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 5 , wherein the object controller is further constructed to record object characteristics associated with the generated object upon generating the object.

7. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the interactive controller is further configured to:

distribute, to the application controller, object use information, the object use information based on use of the object in the interactive application provided by the interactive controller,

the application controller is further constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, the object use information; and

distribute, to the object controller, the object use information, wherein the object controller uses the object use information to update object characteristics associated with the object.

8. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 7 , wherein the object use information comprises durability information.

9. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the interactive controller is further configured to:

distribute, to the application controller, an indication to sell the object,

the application controller is further constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, the indication to sell the object; and

distribute, to the object controller, the indication to sell the object, and

the wager controller is further constructed to:

receive, from the object controller, the indication to sell the object; and

adjust a meter associated with the user to reflect sale of the object.

10. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 9 , wherein the indication to sell the object comprises an object value.

11. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 9 , wherein the interactive controller is further configured to disable use of the object in an interactive application provided by the interactive controller upon sale of the object.

12. A fungible object award interleaved wagering system, comprising:

an interactive controller operatively connected to an application controller, the interactive controller configured to:

provide an interactive application;

distribute, to the application controller, application telemetry;

receive, from the application controller, an object based on the application telemetry; and

generate a visual display of the object within the interactive application;

a wager controller operatively connected to the application controller by a network, the wager controller constructed to:

receive a credit input;

receive, from the application controller, a wager request;

generate a wager outcome based on the wager request using a random number generator; and

distribute, to an object controller, the wager outcome; and

the application controller operatively connected to the interactive controller and the wager controller, the application controller constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, the application telemetry;

distribute, to the wager controller, the wager request based on the received application telemetry;

receive, from the object controller, an object, wherein the object is generated by the object controller based on the wager outcome; and

distribute, to the interactive controller, the object.

13. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 12 , wherein the interactive controller and the application controller are constructed from the same device.

14. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 12 , wherein the object controller is constructed to:

receive, from the wager controller, the wager outcome;

generate the object based on the wager outcome; and

distribute, to the application controller, the generated object.

15. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 14 , wherein the object controller is further constructed to record object characteristics associated with the generated object upon generating the object.

16. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 12 , wherein the interactive controller is further configured to:

distribute, to the application controller, object use information, the object use information based on use of the object in the interactive application provided by the interactive controller,

the application controller is further constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, the object use information; and

distribute, to the object controller, the object use information, wherein the object controller uses the object use information to update object characteristics associated with the object.

17. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 16 , wherein the object use information comprises durability information.

18. The fungible object award interleaved wagering system of claim 12 , wherein the interactive controller is further configured to:

distribute, to the application controller, an indication to sell the object,

the application controller is further constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, the indication to sell the object; and

distribute, to the object controller, the indication to sell the object, and

the wager controller is further constructed to:
