Hybrid game with manual trigger option
View Patent ↗Systems and method for providing a gambling hybrid game having manual triggering of gambling events is disclosed. The systems and method involve providing a proposition of a gambling event to a user and receiving an input accepting the proposition from a user. The gambling event that is associated with the proposition is then resolved. The results of the gambling event are then determined and the wagers are resolved. The results of the gambling event are then used to change variables in a set of game variables that are applied in the game.
1. A gambling hybrid game provided on a computing device that includes manual triggering of a gambling event, comprising:
an entertainment engine constructed to:
execute an entertainment game including receiving an input of the player while playing the entertainment game;
generate a visual representation of the entertainment game;
receive from a game world engine a wager result; and
generate a visual representation of the wager result;
a game world engine constructed to manage the entertainment game being provided to the player by entertainment engine and generate a gambling event request based on the player inputs as provided during play of the entertainment game;
a real world engine constructed to receive gambling event requests from the game world engine and from the player of the entertainment game, determine results of the gambling event requests, generate the wager results using a random number generator and a pay table for the gambling event requests, manage real word credits of a player based on the wagers, and distribute the wager results to the game world engine;
wherein the game world engine is further constructed to:
pause play of the entertainment game;
provide a non-immersive gambling proposition;
receive the wager results from the real world engine,
determine changes in a set of entertainment game variables based on the wager results, and
distribute the changes in the set of game variables to the entertainment engine;
wherein the entertainment engine is further constructed to:
receive the changes to the set of game variables from the game world engine; and
incorporate the changes to the set of game variables into the entertainment game.
2. The gambling hybrid game of claim 1 wherein the game world engine is constructed to provide the non-immersive gambling proposition based upon game play of the entertainment game reaching a particular juncture.
3. The gambling hybrid game of claim 1 wherein the change of the set of game variables by the game world engine is based upon the result of the gambling event and an amount of real world credits wagered on the proposition by the user.
4. The gambling hybrid game of claim 1 wherein the entertainment engine presents the non-immersive gambling proposition to the user and allows the user to accept or reject the non-immersive gambling proposition.
5. A method for providing a gambling hybrid game on a computing device with manual triggering of a gambling event comprising:
performing by an entertainment engine:
executing an entertainment game including receiving an input of the player while playing the entertainment game;
generating a visual representation of the entertainment game;
receiving from a game world engine a wager result; and
generating a visual representation of the wager result;
providing a game world engine constructed to manage the entertainment game being provided to the player by entertainment engine and generate a gambling event request based on the player inputs as provided during play of the entertainment game;
providing a real world engine constructed to receive gambling event requests from the game world engine and from the player of the entertainment game, determine results of the gambling event requests, generate wager results using a random number generator and a pay table for the gambling event requests based on the results, manage real word credits of a player based on the wagers, and distribute the wager results to the game world engine;
performing the following by the game world engine:
pausing play of the entertainment game;
providing a non-immersive gambling proposition;
receiving the wager results from the real world engine,
determining changes in a set of entertainment game variables based on the wager results, and
distributing the changes in the set of game variables to the entertainment engine;
performing the following by the entertainment engine:
receiving the changes to the set of game variables from the game world engine; and
incorporating the changes to the set of game variables into the entertainment game.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising providing the non-immersive gambling proposition is provided by the game world engine based upon game play of the entertainment game reaching a particular juncture.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the changing of the set of game variables by the game world engine is based upon the result of the gambling event and an amount of real world credits wagered on the proposition by the user.
8. The method of claim 5 further comprising:
presenting the non-immersive gambling proposition to the user using the entertainment engine; and
receiving an input accepting the non-immersive gambling proposition.
9. A machine readable medium containing processor instructions, where execution of the instructions by a processor causes the processor to perform a process for providing a gambling hybrid game with manual triggering of a gambling event comprising:
performing by an entertainment engine:
executing an entertainment game including receiving an input of the player while playing the entertainment game;
generating a visual representation of the entertainment game;
receiving from a game world engine a wager result; and
generating a visual representation of the wager result;
providing a game world engine constructed to manage the entertainment game being provided to the player by entertainment engine and generate a gambling event request based on the player inputs as provided during play of the entertainment game;
providing a real world engine constructed to receive gambling event requests from the game world engine and from the player of the entertainment game, determine results of the gambling event requests, generate wager results using a random number generator and a pay table for the gambling event requests based on the results, manage real word credits of a player based on the wagers, and distribute the wager results to the game world engine;
performing the following by the game world engine:
pausing play of the entertainment game;
providing a non-immersive gambling proposition;
receiving the wager results from the real world engine,
determining changes in a set of entertainment game variables based on the wager results, and
distributing the changes in the set of game variables to the entertainment engine;
performing the following by the entertainment engine:
receiving the changes to the set of game variables from the game world engine; and
incorporating the changes to the set of game variables into the entertainment game.
10. The machine readable medium of claim 9 , the instructions further comprising providing the non-immersive gambling proposition by the game world engine to the player based upon game play of the entertainment game reaching a particular juncture.
11. The machine readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the changing of the set of game variables by the game world engine is based upon the result of the gambling event and an amount of real world credits wagered on the proposition by the player.
12. The machine readable medium of claim 9 , the instructions further comprising:
presenting the non-immersive gambling proposition to the user using the entertainment engine; and
receiving an input accepting the non-immersive gambling proposition.
