INTERLEAVED WAGERING SYSTEM WITH SUPPLEMENTARY MODE

1 . An interleaved wagering system with supplementary mode, comprising:

an interactive controller constructed to communicate with an application controller;

a wager controller constructed to communicate with the application controller; and

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

receive first interactive application interaction data from the interactive controller;

determine a supplemental mode from the interactive application data;

instruct the interactive controller to provide the supplementary mode to a user;

receive second interactive application interactive data from the interactive controller; and

determine a reward of an amount of credits to award to the user based on the second interactive application interactive data.

2 . The interleaved wagering system with supplementary mode 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 interleaved wagering system with supplementary mode 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 interleaved wagering system with supplementary mode 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 wager controller; and

a credit output device operatively connected to the wager controller.

5 . The interleaved wagering system with supplementary mode 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;

execute a wager based on a communication received from the application 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.
