Interleaved wagering system with timed randomized variable
An interleaved wagering system with randomized variable is disclosed. The system includes a mobile device that has an interactive controller that provides an entertainment game. An application controller operatively connects the mobile device to a wager controller. The application controller receives user input via the interactive controller, and requests a randomized variable from the wager controller. The application controller inserts the randomized variable into a skill event and communicates the result of the skill event to the wager controller. The wager controller generates a randomized variable. The wager controller uses the skill event data to determine if the skill event is successful according to parameters outside the control of the interactive application.
1. An interleaved wagering system with randomized variable, comprising:
a mobile device constructed to:
accept user input via an input device;
provide an interactive application stored on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium;
provide an interactive application display;
distribute the user input to an application controller;
the application controller operatively connecting the mobile device to a wager controller, wherein the application controller is constructed to:
receive the user input via the mobile device;
generate a skill event;
request a randomized variable from the wager controller;
receive the randomized variable from the wager controller;
insert the randomized variable into the skill event; and
distribute a result of the skill event to the wager controller; and
the wager controller constructed to;
receive the request for the randomized variable;
generate the randomized variable using a random number generator;
distribute the randomized variable;
receive the result of the skill event; and
determine if the skill event is successful.
2. The interleaved wagering system with randomized variable of claim 1 ,
wherein the mobile device and the application controller are constructed from the same device, and
wherein the application controller is operatively connected to the wager controller using a communication link.
3. The interleaved wagering system with randomized variable of claim 1 , wherein there is a time limit associated with the skill event.
4. The interleaved wagering system with randomized variable of claim 1 , wherein the skill event uses a timer that cannot be stopped, paused, or otherwise halted by the user and operates independently of user actions.
5. The interleaved wagering system with randomized variable of claim 1 , wherein the application controller:
associates the skill event with a skill event timer;
calculates the amount of time the skill event takes;
distributes the skill event time to the wager controller; and
wherein the wager controller flags differences between the skill event timer and a time elapsed.
6. The interleaved wagering system with randomized variable of claim 5 , wherein the wager controller suspends the interactive application based on the differences between the skill event timer and the time elapsed.
7. The interleaved wagering system with randomized variable of claim 1 , wherein the wager controller maintains an external database of anomalies.
8. The interleaved wagering system with randomized variable of claim 7 , wherein the wager controller determines an anomaly is not in the external database and adds the anomaly to the database.
9. The interleaved wagering system with randomized variable of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is a smartphone.
10. The interleaved wagering system with randomized variable of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is a tablet computer.
11. The interleaved wagering system with randomized variable of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is a personal digital assistant.
