Abstract

A lottery system skill wagering interleaved game. Responsive to a scanned code provided by an entertainment game module, a random number generation result is generated based on the scanned code. At least one of a virtual credit (VC) amount and a Quanta amount is determined based on the random number generation result. The determined amount of at least one of VC and Quanta is recorded in a player profile of a player associated with the entertainment game module and the scanned code. The skill wagering interleaved game interleaves a gambling game with an interactive entertainment game. The determined amount of at least one of VC and Quanta for the player are used within an interactive entertainment game session of the player.
