Abstract

Systems in accordance with embodiments of the invention operate an autonomous agent hybrid system including a real world controller constructed to provide a randomly generated payout of credits; an entertainment software controller constructed to execute an entertainment game providing outcomes based upon an autonomous agent action; and a game world controller coupled to the entertainment software controller and the real world controller via a network, and constructed to trigger the credit wager, wherein the game world controller utilizes an agency module that: configures an autonomous agent player profile which determines the autonomous agent action; detects the autonomous agent action taken by the autonomous agent where the autonomous agent action is a direct utilization by the autonomous agent of the enabling element within the entertainment game, wherein the autonomous agent action is taken by the autonomous agent without the player's supervision; and communicates, to the real world controller, an agent wager.

Claims (33)

1. An autonomous agent hybrid system, comprising:

a real world controller constructed to provide a randomly generated payout of real world credits from a wager of real world credits in a gambling game;

an entertainment software controller constructed to execute an entertainment game providing outcomes based upon at least one autonomous agent action taken by an autonomous agent in the entertainment game; and

a game world controller coupled to the entertainment software controller and the real world controller via a network, the game world controller constructed to trigger the wager of real world credits in the gambling game on the basis of utilization of an enabling element by the autonomous agent,

wherein the game world controller utilizes an agency module that:

configures an autonomous agent player profile for the autonomous agent, where the autonomous agent action is determined by the configuration of the autonomous agent player profile;

detects via the network from the entertainment software controller the autonomous agent action taken by the autonomous agent in the entertainment game where the autonomous agent action is a direct utilization by the autonomous agent of the enabling element within the entertainment game, wherein the autonomous agent action is taken by the autonomous agent within the entertainment game without the player's supervision; and

communicates, to the real world controller, an agent wager based on the autonomous agent action.

2. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 1 , wherein the agency module configures the autonomous agent player profile based upon player instructions received via a user interface during entertainment game gameplay.

3. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 1 , wherein the autonomous agent player profile is configured with an allocation of real world credits from the player profile associated with the player instructions, where the real world credits allocated to the autonomous agent player profile are configured to be wagered in the agent wager.

4. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 1 , wherein the agent player action involved with skillful execution of the entertainment game is configured to mimic historical player instructions based upon an agent player profile configuration rule that utilizes historical player instructions.

5. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 1 , wherein the autonomous agent player action involved with skillful execution of the entertainment game during entertainment game gameplay executed by the entertainment software controller is determined by a configuration of logic stored in the agent player profile.

6. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 1 , wherein the agent wager is made with wager terms generated with a wager term configuration rule based upon the agent player profile.

7. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 6 , wherein the wager terms are configured in accordance with a wager term configuration rule based upon an amount of real world credits associated with the agent player profile.

8. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 6 , wherein different agent player profiles yield different wager terms for the agent wager.

9. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 8 , wherein different autonomous agent player actions yield different wager terms for the agent wager in accordance with a wager term configuration rule.

10. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 1 , wherein the player associated with the player instructions and the autonomous agent associated with the autonomous agent player profile are engaged in the same entertainment game gameplay session.

11. An autonomous agent hybrid system, comprising:

an entertainment software controller constructed to execute an entertainment game providing outcomes based upon at least one autonomous agent action taken by an autonomous agent in the entertainment game; and

a game world controller coupled, via a network, to the entertainment software controller and to a real world controller providing a randomly generated payout of real world credits from a wager of real world credits, the game world controller constructed to trigger the wager of real world credits on the basis of utilization of an enabling element by the autonomous agent,

wherein the game world controller utilizes an agency module that:

configures an autonomous agent player profile for the autonomous agent, where the autonomous agent action is determined by the configuration of the autonomous agent player profile;

detects via the network from the entertainment software controller the autonomous agent action taken by the autonomous agent in the entertainment game where the autonomous agent action is a direct utilization by the autonomous agent of the enabling element within the entertainment game, wherein the autonomous agent action is taken by the autonomous agent within the entertainment game without the player's supervision; and

communicates, to the real world controller, an agent wager based on the autonomous agent action.

12. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 11 , wherein the agency module configures the autonomous agent player profile based upon player instructions received via a user interface during entertainment game gameplay.

13. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 11 , wherein the autonomous agent player profile is configured with an allocation of real world credits from the player profile associated with the player instructions, where the real world credits allocated to the autonomous agent player profile are configured to be wagered in the agent wager.

14. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 11 , wherein the agent player action involved with skillful execution of the entertainment game is configured to mimic historical player instructions based upon an agent player profile configuration rule that utilizes historical player instructions.

15. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 11 , wherein the autonomous agent player action involved with skillful execution of the entertainment game during entertainment game gameplay executed by the entertainment software controller is determined by a configuration of logic stored in the agent player profile.

16. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 11 , wherein the agent wager is made with wager terms generated with a wager term configuration rule based upon the agent player profile.

17. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 16 , wherein the wager terms are configured in accordance with a wager term configuration rule based upon an amount of real world credits associated with the agent player profile.

18. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 16 , wherein different agent player profiles yield different wager terms for the agent wager.

19. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 18 , wherein different autonomous agent player actions yield different wager terms for the agent wager in accordance with a wager term configuration rule.

20. The autonomous agent hybrid system of claim 11 , wherein the player associated with the player instructions and the autonomous agent associated with the autonomous agent player profile are engaged in the same entertainment game gameplay session.
