Self-reconfiguring wagering system

1. A self-reconfiguring electronic gaming machine, comprising:

an interactive controller constructed to communicate with a process controller, wherein the interactive controller is further constructed to:

provide a skill-based game to a user wherein the skill-based game includes a skill proposition including a set of skill objectives corresponding to a set of ordered chance components;

generate a graphical display of the skill-based game using a display output device;

present the set of skill objectives to the user as components of the skill-based game;

determine a first skill outcome for the set of skill objectives presented to the user, wherein the first skill outcome includes a number of the set of skill objectives achieved by the user during gameplay; and

distribute to the process controller the first skill outcome;

receive from the process controller the ordered set of chance components; and

update the graphical display to display the ordered set of chance components based on the number of the set of skill objectives achieved by the user during gameplay;

a chance-based controller constructed to communicate with the process controller, wherein the chance based controller is further constructed to:

generate the ordered set of chance components having one or more chance outcomes using a random number generator and a paytable; and

distribute the ordered set of chance components to the process controller; and

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

receive a plurality of skill outcomes for a plurality of actual users;

determine an actual use skill outcome using the received plurality of skill outcomes;

compare a test skill outcome determined for a plurality of test users to the actual use skill outcome;

receive the ordered set of chance components;

in a case where the comparison indicates that the plurality of actual users are more skillful in achieving the set of skill objectives than the test users, reorder the ordered set of chance components to lower an amount of a wager outcome;

in a case where the comparison indicates that the plurality of actual users are less skillful in achieving the set of skill objectives than the test users, reorder the ordered set of chance components to raise an amount of the wager outcome;

receive the first skill outcome from the interactive controller;

determine the wager outcome using the number of the set of skill objectives achieved by the user during gameplay of the first skill outcome and the reordered set of chance components; and

update one or more credit meters using the wager outcome.
