Abstract

A multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system is disclosed. The system includes an interactive controller configured to: provide an interactive application, the interactive application associated with a plurality of users each interacting with the interactive application asynchronously; communicate, to an application controller, an application state identifier from a plurality of application states; communicate, to the application controller, application telemetry; and receive application resources; a wager controller constructed to: receive a wager request; determine a wager outcome; and communicate the wager outcome; and the application controller operatively connecting the interactive controller and the wager controller and constructed to: receive, from the interactive controller, the application state identifier; receive the application telemetry; communicate, to the wager controller, the wager request; receive the wager outcome, wherein the wager outcome is based on the wager parameters; and communicate, to the interactive controller, the application resources.

Claims

1. A multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system, comprising:

an interactive controller configured to;

provide an interactive application, the interactive application associated with a plurality of users each interacting with the interactive application asynchronously;

communicate, to an application controller, an application state identifier associated with a user, the application state identifier being from a plurality of application states, and the user being one of the plurality of users associated with the interactive application;

communicate, to the application controller, application telemetry associated with the user; and

receive, from the application controller, application resources based on the application telemetry;

a wager controller constructed to;

receive, from the application controller, a wager request;

determine a wager outcome based on the wager request; and

communicate, to the application controller, the wager outcome; and

the application controller operatively connecting the interactive controller and the wager controller and constructed to;

receive, from the interactive controller, the application state identifier;

receive, from the interactive controller, the application telemetry;

communicate, to the wager controller, the wager request, wherein the wager request comprises wager parameters based on the application state identifier;

receive, from the wager controller, the wager outcome, wherein the wager outcome is based on the wager parameters; and

communicate, to the interactive controller, the application resources based on the wager outcome.

2. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 1,

wherein the interactive controller 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 multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 1,

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

wherein the application controller is operatively connected to the interactive controller using a communication link.

4. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 1, wherein the application state identifier corresponds to a primary application state, wherein the user is able to progress toward a primary objective associated with the interactive application.

5. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 4, wherein the application state identifier corresponds to a secondary application state, wherein the user is unable to progress toward a primary objective associated with the interactive application.

6. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 5, wherein the application resource assists the user in progressing toward the primary objective associated with the interactive application, and is available for use when the application state identifier corresponds to the primary application state.

7. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 1, wherein the wager parameters comprise a paytable.

8. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 1, wherein the wager parameters comprise a supplementary wager amount to be wagered in addition to a primary wager amount provided by the user.

9. A multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system, comprising:

a wager controller constructed to;

receive, from an application controller, a wager request;

determine a wager outcome based on the wager request; and

communicate, to the application controller, the wager outcome; and

an application controller operatively connecting the wager controller to an interactive controller using a communication link and constructed to;

receive, from an interactive controller, an application state identifier associated with a user, the application state identifier being from a plurality of application states, and the user being one of a plurality of users associated with an interactive application, the interactive application provided by the interactive controller and the plurality of users each interacting with the interactive application asynchronously;

receive, from the interactive controller, application telemetry associated with the user;

communicate, to the wager controller, the wager request, wherein the wager request comprises wager parameters based on the application state identifier;

receive, from the wager controller, the wager outcome, wherein the wager outcome is based on the wager parameters; and

communicate, to the interactive controller, the application resources based on the wager outcome.

10. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 9, wherein the application state identifier corresponds to a primary application state, wherein the user is able to progress toward a primary objective associated with the interactive application.

11. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 10, wherein the application state identifier corresponds to a secondary application state, wherein the user is unable to progress toward a primary objective associated with the interactive application.

12. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 11, wherein the application resource assists the user in progressing toward the primary objective associated with the interactive application, and is available for use when the application state identifier corresponds to the primary application state.

13. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 9, wherein the wager parameters comprise a paytable.

14. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 9, wherein the wager parameters comprise a supplementary wager amount to be wagered in addition to a primary wager amount provided by the user.

15. A multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system, comprising:

an interactive controller configured to;

provide an interactive application, the interactive application associated with a plurality of users each interacting with the interactive application asynchronously;

communicate, to an application controller, an application state identifier associated with a user, the application state identifier being from a plurality of application states, and the user being one of the plurality of users associated with the interactive application;

communicate, to the application controller, application telemetry associated with the user; and

receive, from the application controller, application resources based on the application telemetry; and

the application controller operatively connecting the interactive controller to a wager controller, the application controller constructed to;

receive, from the interactive controller, the application state identifier;

receive, from the interactive controller, the application telemetry;

communicate, to the wager controller, a wager request, wherein the wager request comprises wager parameters based on the application state identifier;

receive, from the wager controller, the wager outcome, wherein the wager outcome is based on the wager parameters; and

communicate, to the interactive controller, the application resources based on the wager outcome.

16. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 15, wherein the application state identifier corresponds to a primary application state, wherein the user is able to progress toward a primary objective associated with the interactive application.

17. The multi-state opportunity interleaved wagering system of claim 16, wherein the application state identifier corresponds to a secondary application state, wherein the user is unable to progress toward a primary objective associated with the interactive application.
