SKILL COMPETITION WAGERING SYSTEM

1 . A skill competition wagering system, comprising:

an interactive controller having a touchscreen driver operatively connected to a touchscreen controller and a process controller, wherein the touchscreen driver is constructed to:

receive touchscreen telemetry data from touchscreen controller;

determine from the touchscreen telemetry data, that two or more users are touching a touchscreen operatively connected to the touchscreen controller;

communicate to the process controller, a request for a randomized sequence;

receive from the process controller the randomized sequence;

determine an ordered touch sequence using the touchscreen telemetry data and the randomized sequence; and

communicate the ordered touch sequence to an interactive application of the interactive controller; and

the process controller, wherein the process controller is constructed to:

receive the request for a randomized sequence from the driver;

generate the randomized sequence using a random number generator; and

communicate the randomized sequence to the driver.

2 . The skill competition wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the interactive controller and the process controller are constructed from the same device.

3 . The skill competition wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the process controller is operatively connected to the interactive controller using a communication link.

4 . The skill competition wagering system of claim 1 , further comprising:

an enclosure constructed to mount:

the touchscreen;

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 skill competition wagering system of claim 4 , wherein the process 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;

generate a chance-based component based on a random result generated by the random number generator;

determine a competitive skill proposition based on the chance-based component;

communicate the competitive skill proposition to the interactive controller;

receive a skill outcome of the competitive skill proposition from the interactive controller;

update the credit meter based on skill outcome; and

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

wherein the interactive controller is further constructed to:

receive the competitive skill proposition from the process controller;

generate a user presentation based on the competitive skill proposition;

detect user interactions with the user presentation;

determine a skill outcome based on the user interactions and the competitive skill proposition; and

communicate the skill outcome to the process controller.

6 . A skill competition wagering system, comprising:

an interactive controller operatively connected to a touchscreen and a process controller, wherein the interactive controller is constructed to:

provide a competitive skill proposition to two or more users, wherein the competitive skill proposition utilizes a user interface including the touchscreen;

determine that a tie has occurred when the two or more users attempt to touch the touchscreen simultaneously;

communicate to the process controller, a request for a randomized sequence;

receive from the process controller the randomized sequence;

determine an ordered touch sequence using touchscreen telemetry data received from the touchscreen and the randomized sequence; and

break the tie using the ordered touch sequence.

7 . The skill competition wagering system of claim 6 , wherein the interactive controller and the process controller are constructed from the same device.

determine a competitive skill proposition based on the chance-based component;

communicate the competitive skill proposition to the interactive controller;

receive a skill outcome of the competitive skill proposition from the interactive controller;

update the credit meter based on skill outcome; and

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

wherein the interactive controller is further constructed to:

receive the competitive skill proposition from the process controller;

generate a user presentation based on the competitive skill proposition;
