Abstract

Claims (76)

1. A functional transformation interleaved wagering system, comprising:

an interactive controller configured to:

provide a display of a first interactive application;

communicate, to an application controller, a wager request;

receive, from the application controller, a wager outcome based on the wager request;

receive, from the application controller, an indication to provide a second interactive application;

provide a display of the second interactive application based on the received indication; and

communicate, to the application controller, application telemetry;

a wager controller constructed to:

receive, from the application controller, the wager request;

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

distribute, to the application controller, the wager outcome;

receive, from the application controller, an indication to adjust a credit meter; and

adjust the credit meter; and

the application controller operatively connecting the interactive controller and the wager controller and constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, the wager request;

communicate, to the wager controller, the wager request;

receive, from the wager controller, the wager outcome;

communicate, to the interactive controller, the wager outcome;

determine whether to provide the second interactive application provided by the interactive controller;

communicate, to the interactive controller, the indication to provide the second interactive application when it is determined to provide the second interactive application;

receive, from the interactive controller, the application telemetry; and

communicate, to the wager controller, the indication to adjust the credit meter.

2. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system 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 using a communication link.

3. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system 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 using a communication link.

4. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the first interactive application is a wagering application.

5. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the application telemetry comprises an indication of user performance, and user performance is based on user skill.

6. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the second application is provided for a limited period.

7. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 6 , wherein the limited period is a limited time period.

8. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 6 , wherein the limited period is a limited number of sessions.

9. A functional transformation interleaved wagering system, comprising:

a wager controller of the functional transformation interleaved wagering system constructed to:

receive, from an application controller, a wager request;

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

distribute, to the application controller, the wager outcome;

receive, from the application controller, an indication to adjust a credit meter; and

the application controller of the functional transformation interleaved wagering system operatively connecting the wager controller to an interactive controller using a communication link, wherein the interactive controller provides a display and the application controller is constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, the wager request, wherein the interactive controller provides a first interactive application;

communicate, to the wager controller, the wager request;

receive, from the wager controller, the wager outcome;

communicate, to the interactive controller, the wager outcome;

determine whether to provide a second interactive application provided by the interactive controller;

communicate, to the interactive controller, an indication to provide the second interactive application when it is determined to provide the second interactive application;

receive, from the interactive controller, application telemetry; and

communicate, to the wager controller, the indication to adjust the credit meter.

10. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 9 , wherein the first interactive application is a wagering application.

11. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 9 , wherein the application telemetry comprises an indication of user performance, and user performance is based on user skill.

12. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 9 , wherein the second application is provided for a limited period.

13. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 12 , wherein the limited period is a limited time period.

14. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 12 , wherein the limited period is a limited number of sessions.

15. A functional transformation interleaved wagering system, comprising:

an interactive controller of the functional transformation interleaved wagering system configured to:

provide a display of a first interactive application;

communicate, to an application controller, a wager request;

receive, from the application controller, a wager outcome based on the wager request;

receive, from the application controller, an indication to provide a second interactive application;

provide display of a the second interactive application based on the received indication; and

communicate, to the application controller, application telemetry; and

the application controller of the functional transformation interleaved wagering system operatively connecting the interactive controller to a wager controller, wherein the wager controller provides the wager outcome using a random number generator and the application controller is constructed to:

receive, from the interactive controller, the wager request;

communicate, to the wager controller, the wager request;

receive, from the wager controller, the wager outcome;

communicate, to the interactive controller, the wager outcome;

determine whether to provide the second interactive application provided by the interactive controller;

communicate, to the interactive controller, an indication to provide the second interactive application when it is determined to provide the second interactive application;

receive, from the interactive controller, the application telemetry; and

communicate, to the wager controller, an indication to adjust the credit meter.

16. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 15 , wherein the first interactive application is a wagering application.

17. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 15 , wherein the application telemetry comprises an indication of user performance, and user performance is based on user skill.

18. The functional transformation interleaved wagering system of claim 15 , wherein the second application is provided for a limited period.
