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.
