Abstract

Systems and methods for operating a pre-authorized transaction interleaved wagering system are disclosed. A pre-authorized transaction interleaved wagering system uses pre-determined unique pre-authorized transaction identifiers to track transactions between and entertainment game and a game world controller that manages wager decisions within the pre-authorized transaction interleaved wagering system.

Claims (41)

1. A gaming system comprising:

a real world credit controller comprising:

a real world credit meter;

a random number generator; and

a real world credit paytable, wherein the real world credit controller is configured to:

provide a randomly generated payout of real world credits from a wager of real world credits in a gambling game using the random number generator and the real world credit pay table;

augment an amount of real world credits stored in the real world credit meter based on the randomly generated payout of real world credits to the real world credit meter;

receive, from a game world operating system controller, a wagering decision to trigger the wager;

determine a random number generation result based on the wagering decision to trigger the wager; and

provide, to the game world operating system controller, the random number generation result based on the wagering decision to trigger the wager;

a processing device configured to:

monitor an interactive entertainment game for input of a game world information;

monitor the interactive entertainment game for input of an initialization request wherein the initialization request is associated with a player;

provide the game world information and initialization request to the game world operating system controller;

a display screen configured to display at least one of a gambling game result and wager outcomes based upon the game world information;

a user input device configured to receive from the player a wagering amount to use during game play; and

the game world operating system controller operatively connected to the real world credit controller and operatively connected to the processing device, the game world operating system controller configured to:

receive, from the processing device, the initialization request, wherein the initialization request is associated with the player;

determine whether the player is authorized to play a game, based on the initialization request;

when the player is authorized, allocate one or more pre-authorized transaction identifiers for use by a game world client wherein the one or more pre-authorized transaction identifiers of a gaming system are used to authorize game world information received from the processing device;

communicate the allocated one or more pre-authorized transaction identifiers to the game world client;

receive game world information from the processing device;

validate the pre-authorized transaction identifier when the received game world information is associated with the pre-authorized transaction identifier; and

process the received game world information associated with the pre-authorized transaction identifier when the pre-authorized transaction identifier is validated, wherein the processing comprises:

making the wagering decision;

providing, to the real world credit controller, the wagering decision to trigger the wager;

receiving, from the real world credit controller, the random number generation result based on the wagering decision to trigger the wager; and

providing, to the processing device, the random number generation results based on the wagering decision to trigger the wager.

2. The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pre-authorized transaction identifiers is a unique digital value that is generated by the game world operating system controller.

3. The gaming system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more pre-authorized transaction identifiers is unique over a particular domain.

4. The gaming system of claim 3 , wherein the particular domain is one of: an individual gaming session, the player's lifetime of gaming transactions, and all transactions.

5. The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game world operating system controller is further configured to:

generate a plurality of pre-authorized transaction identifiers, wherein the plurality of pre-authorized transaction identifiers comprises the one or more allocated pre-authorized transaction identifiers; and

store the plurality of pre-authorized transaction identifiers.

6. The gaming system of claim 5 , wherein the generating the plurality of pre-authorized transaction identifiers is based on at least one of: a type of entertainment game being played, and the amount of real world credit that the player has committed.

7. The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein validating the pre-authorized transaction identifier comprises determining whether the pre-authorized transaction identifier associated with the received game world information is stored in a local data store of pre-authorized transaction identifiers of the game world operating system controller.

8. The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the initialization request comprises player information associated with the player.

9. The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game world operating system controller is further constructed to:

determine that the game world operating system controller is coupled to an invalid entertainment game when the received pre-authorized transaction identifier cannot be validated.

10. The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game world operating system controller is further constructed to:

determine that the game world operating system controller is coupled to an invalid entertainment game when the received game world information is not associated with a pre-authorized transaction identifier.
