SKILL-BASED PROGRESSIVE POOL COMBINED PROPOSITION WAGERING SYSTEM

1 . An electronic gaming machine constructed to receive credits from a user, comprising:

an interactive controller constructed to:

generate a user interface of an interactive application;

detect a user interaction with the user interface and communicate a user interaction data to a process controller;

receive from the process controller a skill-based prize parameter;

display, to the user using the user interface, the skill-based prize parameter; and

a process controller operatively connecting the interactive controller to a chance-based controller, wherein the process controller is constructed to:

create a skill-based progressive pool;

generate a skill threshold for the skill-based progressive pool;

determine if the skill threshold has been reached using the user interaction data;

determine if a skill-based prize has been awarded using the chance-based controller;

generate the skill-based prize parameter;

communicate to the interactive controller, the skill-based prize parameter; and

update the skill-based progressive pool.

2 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the skill-based progressive pool is attached to a specific interactive application on a single electronic gaming machine.

3 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the skill-based progressive pool is attached to a specific interactive application operating across a group of electronic gaming machines.

4 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the skill-based progressive pool is attached to multiple interactive applications on the electronic gaming machine.

5 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the skill-based progressive pool is attached to a specific user.

6 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the user interactions with the user interface are input using a physical button.

7 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the credits received from the user are used by the chance-based controller in a wagering game.

8 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 7 , wherein the wagering game is determined by a random outcome generated by the chance-based controller.

9 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the skill-based prize awards real world currency.

10 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 9 , wherein the skill-based prize further awards virtual currency.

12 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the credits received from the user are used to create the skill-based progressive pool.

13 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 ,

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

wherein the process controller is operatively connected to the chance-based controller using a communication link.

14 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 13 ,

wherein the chance-based controller and process controller are constructed from the same device, and

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

15 . The electronic gaming machine 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 chance-based controller; and

a credit output device operatively connected to the chance-based controller.

16 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 15 , further comprising a regulated random number generator, wherein the chance-based controller is further constructed to:

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

generate a random outcome using the regulated random number generator; and

update a credit meter based on the event outcome.
