Abstract

The interleaved wagering system includes a display and a mobile device, where the mobile device is connected to a wager server by a process server. The wager server is also connected to credit input and credit output devices. A user inputs credit items into the matching wagering system providing wagering credits for a matching game. The mobile device hosts an interactive application providing a matching game where an interactive game board, including a grid and symbols, is displayed to a user, who selects and places a symbol on the board. When a specified number of matched symbols within the grid on the board is determined, a credit wager is executed in the wager controller, resulting in a credit wager outcome utilizing a random number generator and paytable.

Claims (33)

1. An electronic gaming machine for interleaving wagering with an interactive game board, comprising:

an interactive processing device operatively connected to a process controller and a display, wherein the interactive processing device is constructed to:

generate the interactive game board displayed on the display to a user where the interactive game board includes a grid that is populated with symbols;

receive an instruction from the user to place a user selected symbol on the interactive game board within the grid of the interactive game board via a user input device;

determine a match of a specified number of symbols within the grid of the interactive game board;

distribute data of the match to the process controller;

receive, from the process controller, a randomly generated payout for a wager;

use the randomly generated payout for the wager to alter subsequent gameplay in the interactive game board; and

update the display to the user to include the randomly generated payout for the wager;

a wager controller operatively connected to the process controller, wherein the wager controller is constructed to:

receive a trigger for the wager; and

provide a gambling game configured to provide the randomly generated payout for the wager using a random number generator;

an enclosure constructed to mount:

the user input device operatively connected to the interactive processing device;

the display operatively connected to the interactive processing device;

a credit input device operatively connected to the wager controller; and

a credit output device operatively connected to the wager controller; and

the process controller operatively connecting the interactive processing device and the wager controller, wherein the process controller is constructed to:

receive from the interactive processing device the data of the match;

trigger the wager in the wager controller based on receiving the data of the match;

receive, from the wager controller the randomly generated payout for the wager; and

distribute, to the interactive processing device, the randomly generated payout for the wager.

2. The electronic gaming machine for interleaving wagering with an interactive game board of claim 1 ,

wherein the interactive processing device, the process controller, and the wager controller are constructed from a same device.

3. The electronic gaming machine for interleaving wagering with an interactive game board of claim 1 ,

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 the wager based on a communication received from the process server;

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.

4. The electronic gaming machine for interleaving wagering with an interactive game board of claim 1 , wherein the user may select a difficulty level for the interactive game board.

5. The electronic gaming machine for interleaving wagering with an interactive game board of claim 1 , wherein the trigger for the wager is based on a minimum number of symbols in the match.
