Abstract

An electronic gaming machine is disclosed. The electronic gaming machine includes an interactive controller constructed to: determine that a user has used a power-up in a skill-based game; provide to the user an advantage in the skill-based game; communicate to an application controller, application telemetry data of the user's use of the power-up; receive from the application controller, a wager outcome; and present to the user the wager outcome. The electronic gaming machine further includes the application controller operatively connecting the interactive controller and a wager controller. The application controller is constructed to: receive the application telemetry data; determine that the user has used the power-up; generate a wager request on the determination that the user has used the power-up; communicate to the wager controller, the wager request; receive from the wager controller, a wager outcome; and communicate the wager outcome to the interactive controller for display to the user.

Claims (43)

1. A multi-control stick interleaved wagering electronic gaming machine, comprising:

an interactive controller constructed to:

provide a skill-based game to a user;

receive input from the user via a user input device;

determine that the user has used a power-up in the skill-based game;

provide to the user an advantage in the skill-based game for the user's use of the power-up;

distribute to an application controller, application telemetry data of the user's use of the power-up;

receive from the application controller, a wager outcome;

receive from the application controller, application resources associated with the wager outcome;

generate a visual display of the wager outcome; and

incorporate the application resources associated with the wager outcome into the skill-based game;

a wager controller constructed to:

receive wager requests from the application controller;

execute the wager in accordance with the wager request to determine the wager outcome using a random number generator; and

distribute the wager outcome to the application controller; and

the application controller operatively connecting the interactive controller and the wager controller, wherein the application controller is constructed to:

receive from the interactive controller, the application telemetry data;

determine from the application telemetry data that the user has used the power-up;

determine from the application telemetry wager paytable selection;

generate the wager request on the determination that the user has used the power-up;

distribute to the wager controller, the wager request including the wager paytable selection;

receive from the wager controller, the wager outcome;

determine the application resources associated with the wager outcome;

distribute the wager outcome to the interactive controller for display to the user; and

distribute the application resources to the interactive controller for use in the skill-based game.

2. The multi-control stick interleaved wagering electronic gaming machine 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 multi-control stick interleaved wagering electronic gaming machine 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 multi-control stick interleaved wagering electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , further comprising:

an enclosure constructed to mount:

the user input device operatively connected to the interactive controller;

a user output device operatively connected to the interactive controller;

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

a credit output device operatively connected to the wager controller.

5. The multi-control stick interleaved wagering electronic gaming machine of claim 4 ,

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;

update the credit meter based on the wager outcome; and

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