Abstract

An interleaved wagering system is disclosed. The system includes an interactive controller constructed to communicate application telemetry associated with an interactive application provided by the interactive controller. The system also includes a wager controller constructed to communicate a wager result associated with a received wager request. The system also includes the application controller operatively connected to the interactive controller and the wager controller, and constructed to: receive application telemetry; upon receiving application telemetry, determine whether to trigger a supplementary mode; when triggering the supplementary mode is determined, communicate a notification to provide a supplementary mode session. The interactive controller is further constructed to: provide the supplementary mode session upon receiving the supplementary mode notification; communicate results of the supplementary mode session. The application controller is further constructed to: receive the results of the supplementary mode session; and when the received results are successful, communicate a request for benefits.

Claims (87)

1. An electronic gaming machine constructed to provide an interleaved wagering system and to receive credits from a user, comprising:

an interactive controller including a user input device and a display output device, wherein the interactive controller is constructed to distribute, to an application controller, application telemetry associated with an interactive application provided by the interactive controller;

a wager controller constructed to distribute, to the application controller, a wager result associated with a received wager request, wherein the wager result is determined using a random number generator; and

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

receive, from the interactive controller, application telemetry;

upon receiving the application telemetry, determine whether to trigger a supplementary mode;

when triggering the supplementary mode is determined, distribute, to the interactive controller, a notification to provide a supplementary mode session,

wherein the interactive controller is further constructed to:

receive, from the application controller, the notification to provide the supplementary mode session;

provide the supplementary mode session via the display output device;

distribute, to the application controller, results of the supplementary mode session, and

wherein the application controller is further constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, the results of the supplementary mode session; and

when the received results are successful, distribute, to a benefit pool controller, a request for benefits.

2. The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 ,

wherein the interactive controller and the application controller are constructed from the same device, and

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

3. The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 ,

wherein the wager controller and the application controller are constructed from the same device, and

wherein the application controller is operatively connected to the interactive controller by a network.

4. The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the application controller is further constructed to store a parameter value; and update the parameter value based on the received application telemetry, and

wherein triggering the supplementary mode is based on whether the updated parameter value exceeds a threshold value.

5. The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein triggering the supplementary mode is based on an indication received from a third party.

6. The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the benefit pool controller is constructed to:

receive, from the application controller, a request for benefits; and

distribute, to the application controller, benefits, based on the request for benefits.

7. The electronic gaming machine of claim 6 , wherein the benefit comprises an enhanced application resource not available from the interactive application.

8. The electronic gaming machine of claim 6 , wherein the benefit comprises an enhanced application resource not available as an application resource provided by the application controller based on the wager result.

9. The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the results of the supplementary mode session is based on skill.

10. The electronic gaming machine of claim, wherein the results of the supplementary mode session is based on chance.

11. The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the results of the supplementary mode session is based on skill and chance.

12. An electronic gaming machine constructed to provide an interleaved wagering system and to receive credits from a user, comprising:

an application controller, comprising:

an interactive controller interface operatively connecting the application controller to an interactive controller constructed to distribute, to an application controller, application telemetry associated with an interactive application provided by the interactive controller;

a wager controller interface operatively connecting the application controller to a wager controller constructed to distribute, to the application controller, a wager result associated with a received wager request, wherein the wager result is determined using a random number generator; and

one or more processing modules constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, application telemetry;

upon receiving the application telemetry, determine whether to trigger a supplementary mode;

when triggering the supplementary mode is determined, distribute, to the interactive controller, a notification to provide a supplementary mode session,

wherein the interactive controller is further constructed to:

receive, from the application controller, the notification to provide the supplementary mode session;

provide the supplementary mode session via a display output device;

distribute, to the application controller, results of the supplementary mode session, and

wherein the application controller is further constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, the results of the supplementary mode session; and

when the received results are successful, distribute, to a benefit pool controller, a request for benefits.

13. The electronic gaming machine of claim 12 ,

wherein the interactive controller and the application controller are constructed from the same device, and

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

14. The electronic gaming machine of claim 12 ,

wherein the wager controller and the application controller are constructed from the same device, and

wherein the application controller is operatively connected to the interactive controller by a network.

15. The electronic gaming machine of claim 12 ,

wherein the application controller is operatively connected to the wager controller by a network, and

wherein the application controller is operatively connected to the interactive controller by a network.

16. The electronic gaming machine of claim 12 , wherein the application controller is further constructed to store a parameter value; and update the parameter value based on the received application telemetry, and

wherein triggering the supplementary mode is based on whether the updated parameter value exceeds a threshold value.

17. The electronic gaming machine of claim 12 , wherein triggering the supplementary mode is based on an indication received from a third party.

18. The electronic gaming machine of claim 12 , wherein the benefit pool controller is constructed to:

receive, from the application controller, a request for benefits; and

distribute, to the application controller, benefits, based on the request for benefits.

19. The electronic gaming machine of claim 18 , wherein the benefit comprises an enhanced application resource not available from the interactive application.

20. The electronic gaming machine of claim 18 , wherein the benefit comprises an enhanced application resource not available as an application resource provided by the application controller based on the wager result.

21. The electronic gaming machine of claim 12 , wherein the results of the supplementary mode session is based on skill.

22. The electronic gaming machine of claim 12 , wherein the results of the supplementary mode session is based on chance.
