Abstract

The interleaved wagering system includes a display and a mobile device, where the mobile device is connected to a wager server by a process server. The wager server is also connected to credit input and credit output devices. A user inputs credit items into the matching wagering system providing wagering credits for a matching game. The mobile device hosts an interactive application providing a matching game where an interactive game board, including a grid and symbols, is displayed to a user, who selects and places a symbol on the board. When a specified number of matched symbols within the grid on the board is determined, a credit wager is executed in the wager controller, resulting in a credit wager outcome utilizing a random number generator and paytable.

Claims

1. A gaming system, comprising:

a mobile device operatively connected to a process server and a display, wherein the mobile device is constructed to;

receive an instruction from the user to place a user selected symbol on the interactive game board within the grid of the interactive game board via a user input device;

determine a match of a specified number of symbols within the grid of the interactive game board;

distribute data of the match to the process server;

receive, from the process server, a randomly generated payout for a wager; and

use the randomly generated payout for the wager to alter subsequent gameplay in the interactive game board;

a wager server operatively connected to the process server, wherein the wager server is constructed to;

receive a trigger for the wager;

provide a gambling game configured to provide the randomly generated payout for the wager using a random number generator; and

an enclosure constructed to mount;

the user input device operatively connected to the mobile device;

the display operatively connected to the mobile device;

a credit input device operatively connected to the wager server; and
