Abstract

A system is provided for control of an entertainment state system having segregated secure functions and public functions for use by one or more users of the system. First, a public interface portal receives instructions regarding operation of the entertainment state system from the one or more users. The interface portal includes a first interface, a processor, a graphical user interface (GUI) coupled to the processor, a control unit in operative communication with the processor and graphical user interface, and a second interface providing an application program interface (API). Secondly, a secure entity unit is provided, the secure entity unit including a receive interface, the receive interface adapted to receive a call from the application program interface (API) of the interface portal, a send interface, the send interface adapted to provide a response to the interface portal interface, a game engine, and a financial engine.

Claims

1. A system for control of an entertainment state system having segregated secure functions in a secure entity unit and public functions in a public interface portal for use by one or more users of the system, comprising:

a public interface portal, the interface portal adapted to receive instructions regarding operation of the entertainment state system from the one or more users, the interface portal including;

a first interface to receive instructions from and communicate to the one or more users,

a processor,

a graphical user interface (GUI) coupled to the processor,

a control unit in operative communication with the processor and graphical user interface, and

a second interface providing an application program interface (API) adapted to send one or more call requests to the secure entity unit and receive one or more responses from the secure entity unit, and

a secure entity unit, the secure entity unit being segregated from the public interface portal, the secure entity unit including;

a receive interface, the receive interface adapted to receive the one or more call requests from the application program interface (API) of the public interface portal,

a send interface, the send interface adapted to provide the one or more responses from the secure entity unit to the public interface portal,

a game engine, the game engine including an outcome determinator,

a financial engine, the financial engine being coupled to the game engine,

and an interface to provide financial information coupled to the secure entity unit.

2. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 1 wherein the secure entity further includes memory to store user secure information.

3. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 1 wherein the financial information is tax information.

4. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 1 wherein the financial information couples to a financial institution.

5. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 1 wherein the game engine includes a random number generator (RNG).

6. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 1 wherein the secure entity further includes an adaptive control unit.

7. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 6 wherein the adaptive control unit includes cognitive computing unit.

8. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 6 wherein the adaptive control unit includes an artificial intelligence unit.

9. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 6 wherein the adaptive control unit includes a machine-learning unit.

10. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 6 wherein the adaptive control unit includes a neural network.

11. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 10 wherein the neural network is a deep neural network.

12. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 10 wherein the neural network includes a graphics processing unit (GPU).

13. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 10 wherein the neural network is trained utilizing user response data.

14. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 10 wherein the neural network is a vectorized neural network.

15. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 10 wherein the neural network is a recurrent neural network.

16. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 1 wherein the secure entity includes an analytics unit.

17. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 1 wherein the secure entity includes a rate limit unit.

18. The system for the control of an entertainment state system of claim 1 wherein the secure entity includes a responsible gaming control unit.
