Abstract

Claims (34)

1. A level-based multiple outcome wagering system, comprising:

an interactive controller constructed to:

control a multilevel wagering session;

generate a graphical display of a plurality of actionable elements, wherein the graphical display is a representation of a level of a multilevel wagering proposition presented to a user during the multilevel wagering session;

display the graphical display to a user;

receive the user's selection of a selected actionable element selected from the plurality of actionable elements;

communicate data of the selected actionable element to a process controller; and

receive, from the process controller, a selection result; and

generate an updated graphical display including a change in the plurality of actionable elements and the selection result triggered by the user's selection of the selected actionable element; and

the process controller constructed to communicate with the interactive controller and a level-based multiple outcome controller, wherein the process controller is constructed to:

determine from the data of the selected actionable element, a chance outcome;

distribute the chance outcome to the level-based multiple outcome controller;

receive, from the level-based multiple outcome controller, a selection result associated with the chance outcome; and

distribute the selection result to the interactive controller; and

the level-based multiple outcome controller constructed to:

receive the chance outcome;

determine the selection result associated the with the chance outcome from a group including a prize, an advancement to a next level of the multilevel wagering proposition, and a termination of the multilevel wagering session;

when the selection result is the prize, determine the availability of the prize from a pool of pre-determined random results;

when the prize is not available, replace the prize with a free pick, and

distribute the selection result to the process controller.

2. The level-based multiple outcome wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the interactive controller and the process controller are constructed from the same device.

3. The level-based multiple outcome wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the process controller is operatively connected to the interactive controller using a communication link.

4. The level-based multiple outcome wagering system of claim 1 , further comprising:

an enclosure constructed to mount:

a 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 process controller; and

a credit output device operatively connected to the process controller.

5. The level-based multiple outcome wagering system of claim 4 , further comprising a random number generator, wherein the process controller is further constructed to:

communicate with the credit input device to receive a credit input, the credit input for wagering in the multilevel wagering proposition;

generate a chance-based component of the multilevel wagering proposition based on a random result generated by the random number generator;

determine the multilevel wagering proposition based on the chance-based component;

communicate the multilevel wagering proposition to the interactive controller; and

update a credit meter based on a determination from the data of the selected actionable element to award to the user of a chance outcome that is a prize.
