Abstract

A match evolution interleaved wagering system is disclosed. The match evolution interleaved wagering system includes a display and a user input device connected to an interactive processing device, where the interactive processing device is connected to a wager controller by a process controller. The wager controller is also connected to credit input and credit output devices. A user inputs credit items into the match evolution wagering system providing wagering credits for a match evolution game. The interactive device hosts an interactive application providing a match evolution game where an interactive game board, including a grid and symbols, is displayed to a user, who selects and places a symbol on the board. When a specified number of matched symbols within the grid on the board is determined, a credit wager is executed in the wager controller, resulting in a credit wager outcome utilizing a random number generator and paytable.

Claims (36)

1. An electronic gaming machine, comprising:

an interactive processing device operatively connected to a process controller and a display, wherein the interactive processing device is constructed to:

generate an interactive game board displayed on the display to a user where the interactive game board includes a grid that is initially sparsely populated with symbols;

receive an instruction from the user to place a user selected symbol on the interactive game board within the grid of the interactive game board via a user input device;

determine a match of a specified number of symbols within the grid of the interactive game board;

distribute data of the match to the process controller;

receive, from the process controller, a randomly generated payout for a wager; and

use the randomly generated payout for the wager to alter subsequent gameplay in the interactive game board;

a wager controller operatively connected to the process controller, wherein the wager controller is constructed to:

receive a trigger for the wager;

provide a gambling game configured to provide the randomly generated payout for the wager using a random number generator; and

an enclosure constructed to mount:

the user input device operatively connected to the interactive processing device;

the display operatively connected to the interactive processing device;

a credit input device operatively connected to the wager controller; and

a credit output device operatively connected to the wager controller; and

the process controller operatively connecting the interactive processing device and the wager controller, wherein the process controller is constructed to:

receive from the interactive processing device the data of the match;

trigger the wager in the process controller based on receiving the data of the match;

receive, from the wager controller the randomly generated payout for the wager;

distribute, to the interactive processing device, the randomly generated payout for the wager and instructions to modify the interactive game board.

2. The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 ,

wherein the interactive processing device and the process controller are constructed from the same device, and

wherein the process controller is operatively connected to the wager controller using a communication link.

3. The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 ,

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

wherein the process controller is operatively connected to the interactive processing device using a communication link.

4. The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 ,

wherein the interactive processing device, the process controller and the wager controller are constructed from the same device.

5. The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 ,

wherein the wager controller is further constructed to:

communicate with the credit input device to receive a credit input;

credit a credit meter with credits based on the incoming credit data;

execute the wager based on a communication received from the process controller;

update the credit meter based on a wager outcome of the wager; and

communicate with the credit output device to generate a credit output based on credits transferred off of the credit meter.
