Coincident gambling hybrid gaming system
Systems for providing a coincident gambling hybrid game having coincident gambling and game events is disclosed. The systems involve receive an input from a player. An action event in the game is then determined from the input. A gambling event that is associated with the action event is then determined. Any wagers on the gambling event are also. The results of the gambling event are then determined and the wagers are resolved. A random outcome used to determine a result of the gambling event is then used to change variables in a set of game variables and are applied in the game.
1. A distributed coincident gambling hybrid gaming system having coincident gambling events and game events provided on a computing device, comprising:
an entertainment engine connected by a network to a game world engine, wherein the entertainment engine is configured to:
execute an entertainment game on the computing device, including receiving a first input and determining a first action event in the entertainment game from the first input;
display a user interface for the entertainment game;
provide to the game world engine via the network, the first action event;
receive from the game world engine via the network, a change to a set of entertainment game state variables;
receive, from the game world engine via the network, a first random outcome;
display the first random outcome via the user interface for the entertainment game;
incorporate the change to the set of entertainment game state variables into the entertainment game by modifying the entertainment game;
execute the entertainment game on the computing device, including receiving a second input and determining a second action event in the entertainment game from the second input; and
provide to the game world engine via the network, the second action event;
a real world engine connected to the game world engine, wherein the real world engine is constructed to:
receive a request from the game world engine to determine a first outcome of a first gambling event;
determine the first random outcome using a random number generator;
determine the first outcome of the first gambling event using the first random outcome and a paytable;
resolve a first wager of the first gambling event based on the first outcome of the first gambling event;
store the first random outcome from the random number generator in a database accessible by the game world engine;
manage real world credits of a player based on the first wager;
provide to the game world engine the first random outcome of the gambling event;
receive a request from the game world engine to determine a second outcome of a second gambling event;
determine a second random outcome using a random number generator; and
determine the outcome of the second gambling event using the second random outcome, the first random outcome and the paytable; and
the game world engine connected by the network to the entertainment engine and connected to the real world engine, wherein the game world engine is constructed to:
receive from the entertainment engine via the network, the first action event;
determine whether the first action event is associated with the first gambling event;
provide to the real world engine, the request to determine the first outcome of the first gambling event;
receive from the real world engine the first random outcome;
determine the change in the set of entertainment game state variables based on the first random outcome;
provide to the entertainment engine via the network, the change in the set of entertainment game state variables;
provide to the entertainment engine via the network, the first random outcome;
receive from the entertainment engine via the network, the second action event;
determine whether the second action event is associated with the second gambling event;
provide to the real world engine, the request to determine the second outcome of the second gambling event; and
receive from the real world engine the second random outcome.
2. The distributed coincident gambling hybrid gaming system of claim 1 wherein the random number generator uses a pseudo number generation process to generate the first random outcome.
3. The distributed coincident gambling hybrid gaming system of claim 1 wherein the real world engine selects one random number generator from a plurality of random number generators to generate random number information based on the first gambling event.
4. The distributed coincident gambling hybrid gaming system of claim 1 wherein the real world engine determines a second pay table to use to resolve the second wager of the second gambling event based upon the first gambling event.
5. The distributed coincident gambling hybrid gaming system of claim 1 wherein the real world engine and the game world engine are constructed using a same processing apparatus.
6. The distributed coincident gambling hybrid gaming system of claim 1 wherein the real world engine and the game world engine are connected by the network.
