Abstract

A gambling hybrid game with dynamic wager updating is disclosed. The gambling hybrid game includes an entertainment system engine that provides 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. The gambling hybrid game during the course of game play may dynamically update a wager amount to be placed on a gambling event in the gambling game.

Claims (20)

1. An electronic gaming machine for dynamic wager updating in a gambling hybrid game that includes an entertainment game and a gambling game, comprising:

a user input device;

a display screen;

a random number generator;

at least one processor; and

a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores executable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to:

execute the entertainment game;

receive real world credit;

display, using the display screen, an initial offer of a wager to a player;

monitor the entertainment game for a gambling event occurrence detected during the player's play of the entertainment game;

determine an occurrence of the gambling event in the gambling game based on the player's play of the entertainment game;

generate an update indicating a game state of the entertainment game;

adjust the wager to provide an offer of an adjusted wager for use in the gambling event based upon the update of the game state;

display, using the display screen, the offer of the adjusted wager;

receive, via the user input device, confirmation from the player of the offer of the adjusted wager; and

determine a result of the gambling event using the adjusted wager.

2. The electronic gaming machine for dynamic wager updating of claim 1 , wherein the processor-executable instructions when executed by the processor further cause the processor to dynamically update the display screen with each adjustment to the wager on an outcome of the gambling event.

3. The electronic gaming machine for dynamic wager updating of claim 1 , wherein the entertainment game includes one or more enabling elements that are used to determine the game state of the entertainment game, the enabling element is consumed through game play of the entertainment game in a manner that is responsive to a player action, and the adjusted wager is based upon the consumption of the enabling element.

4. The gaming system of claim 3 , wherein one or more enabling elements are consumed during a turn of game play and the wager is adjusted in response to consumption of each enabling element received during the turn of game play.

5. The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of (i) an amount of the wager on an outcome of the gambling event, (ii) a volatility of the wager and (iii) a number of wagers is adjusted in response to the state of the game.
