GWC PRODUCTION MONITORING INTERLEAVED WAGERING SYSTEM

1 . An electronic gaming machine constructed to receive currency, comprising:

an interactive processing device constructed to communicate with a process controller and a game world credit monitoring system, wherein the interactive processing device is further constructed to:

provide an interactive application to a user;

detect a trigger based on a user interaction in the interactive application;

communicate to the process controller the trigger; and

adjust a difficulty level of the interactive application; and

the game world credit monitoring module constructed to communicate with the interactive processing device, wherein the game world credit monitoring module is further constructed to:

calculate a relationship between game world credits earned and return to player;

determine the limits of acceptable game world credit generation;

check actual game world credit generation;

calculate the expected final game world credits based on the measured game world credit generation;

identify the actual game world credit generation as outside the limits of acceptable game world credit generation; and

distribute, to the interactive processing device , an instruction to adjust the difficulty level of the interactive application; and

a wager controller constructed to communicate with the process controller, wherein the wager controller is further constructed to:

generate a wager outcome using a random number generator and a paytable; and

communicate the wager outcome to the process controller; and

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

receive the trigger;

request the wager outcome from the wager controller; and

update one or more credit meters using the skill outcome and the ordered set of chance components.

2 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 ,

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

wherein the process controller is operatively connected to the wager controller using a communication link.

3 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 ,

wherein the wager controller and the process controller are constructed from the same device, and

wherein the process controller is operatively connected to the interactive processing device using a communication link.

4 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , further comprising:

an enclosure constructed to mount:

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

a user output device 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.

5 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 4 , 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;

resolve a wager proposition based on a communication received from the process controller;

update the credit meter based on a chance 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.

6 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the acceptable game world credit generation is determined using the change in game world credit accumulated over time.

7 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the acceptable game world credit generation is determined using the change in game world credit accumulated per user interaction.

8 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the game world credit monitoring system instructs the interactive processing device to initiate game world credit production checks.

9 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the player is presented with options to adjust the difficulty level when the actual game world credit generation is outside the limits of acceptable game world credit generation.

10 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 9 , wherein the game world credit monitoring system increases the frequency of checks of actual game world credit generation.

11 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the game world credit monitoring system checks of actual game world credit generation are periodic and based on time elapsed.

12 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 11 , wherein the time elapsed is based on virtual time.

13 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 11 , wherein the time elapsed is based on real time.

14 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the game world credit monitoring system checks of actual game world credit generation are based on demonstrated skill level in the interactive application.

15 . The electronic gaming machine of claim 1 , wherein the game world credit monitoring system checks of actual game world credit generation are based on a specific event in the interactive application.
