TIMED SKILL OBJECTIVE WAGERING SYSTEM
A timed skill objective wagering system is disclosed. The timed skill objective wagering system includes an interactive controller configured to present a timed skill objective to a player, detect a successful skillful interaction by the player within a specified time period, increment a skill objective metric when the successful skillful interaction is detected, determine a skill outcome of achievement of the skill objective when the skill objective metric exceeds a threshold value, and communicate the skill outcome to a process controller. The process controller is configured to generate a chance-based outcome of an amount of credits, receive the skill outcome from the interactive controller, and determine a combined wagering outcome using the chance-based outcome and the skill outcome.
1 . A timed skill objective wagering system, comprising:
an interactive controller configured to:
present a timed skill objective to a player;
detect a successful skillful interaction by the player within a specified time period;
increment a skill objective metric when the successful skillful interaction is detected;
determine a skill outcome of achievement of the skill objective when the skill objective metric exceeds a threshold value; and
communicate the skill outcome to a process controller; and
the process controller operatively connected to the interactive controller, wherein the process controller is configured to:
generate a chance-based outcome of an amount of credits;
receive the skill outcome from the interactive controller; and
determine a combined wagering outcome using the chance-based outcome and the skill outcome.
2 . The timed skill objective wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the interactive controller and the process controller are constructed from the same device.
3 . The timed skill objective wagering system of claim 1 , wherein the process controller is operatively connected to the interactive controller using a communication link.
4 . The timed skill objective wagering system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an enclosure constructed to mount:
a user input device operatively connected to the interactive controller;
a user output device operatively connected to the interactive controller;
a credit input device operatively connected to the process controller; and
a credit output device operatively connected to the process controller
5 . The timed skill objective wagering system of claim 4 , further comprising a random number generator, wherein the process controller is further configured to:
communicate with the credit input device to receive a credit input;
credit a credit meter with credits based on the incoming credit data;
generate the chance-based component based on a random result generated by the random number generator;
update the credit meter based on a combined wagering outcome; and
communicate with the credit output device to generate a credit output based on credits transferred off of the credit meter.
