Skill-based progressive pool combined proposition wagering system

1. An electronic gaming machine for skill-based progressive pool combined proposition wagering, comprising:

an interactive controller constructed to:

generate a user interface of an interactive application of a skill-based game using a display output device;

detect a user interaction with the user interface and communicate data of the user interaction to a process controller;

receive from the process controller a chance-based wager result;

receive from a process controller a skill-based prize parameter;

display to the user using the user interface via the display output device the chance-based wager result;

display, to the user using the user interface via the display output device, the skill-based prize parameter; and

modify the interactive application based on the skill-based prize parameter;

the process controller operatively connecting the interactive controller to a chance-based controller, wherein the process controller is constructed to:

create a skill-based progressive pool of credits;

determine the chance-based wager result using the user interaction data and the chance-based controller;

allocate a portion of credits of the wager to the skill-based progressive pool;

generate a skill threshold for the skill-based progressive pool;

unless a value of the skill-based progressive pool falls below a trigger point threshold, perform the following:

determine if the skill threshold has been reached using the user interaction data;

determine if a skill-based prize has been awarded using the chance-based controller;

generate the skill-based prize parameter;

communicate to the interactive controller, the skill-based prize parameter; and

update the skill-based progressive pool; and

communicate to the interactive controller, the chance-based wager result; and

an enclosure constructed to mount:

a user input device operatively connected to the interactive controller;

the user display output device operatively connected to the interactive controller;

a credit input device operatively connected to the chance-based controller; and

a credit output device operatively connected to the chance-based controller.
