Abstract

A gambling hybrid game with a gambling integrated game is disclosed. The gambling hybrid game includes a mobile device that provides a dice game as an entertainment game to a user, a real world engine that provides gambling games to one or more users, and a game world engine that monitors the entertainment game and provides gambling games when appropriate. When a die roll event occurs in the dice game, the mobile device resolves the die roll event and provides the results of the die roll event to the game world engine. The game world engine receives the results of the die roll event and determines gambling results based upon the results of the die roll event.
