Abstract

Systems and methods for operating a skill wagering interleaved game are disclosed. For example, a user interface manager for a skill wagering interleaved game operates to send a dialog to a player's end user device, receive the player's responses, and validate that the responses received match the dialog that was sent before providing the responses to the application. Additionally, the system enables pre-authorization of transactions in a game setting, by generating a transaction identifier associated with a game when it is determined that a player is authorized to play the game, and then performing wagers during the game when gaming information is associated with the transaction identifier.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A networked gaming system comprising:
an entertainment game controller connected by a network to a game world operating system controller, wherein the entertainment game controller is constructed to:
communicate to the game world operating system controller via the network, an initialization request including player information of a player;
receive from game world operating system controller via the network a plurality of transaction identifiers;
cache the plurality of transaction identifiers;
associate game world information of an entertainment game executed by the entertainment game controller with a transaction identifier of the plurality of transaction identifiers;
communicate to the game world operating system controller via the network the associated game world information and the associated transaction identifier;
receive from the game world operating system controller a gambling outcome and game world resources;
display the gambling outcome to a player of the entertainment game; and
integrate the game world resources into the entertainment game; and

the game world operating system controller connected to the entertainment game controller by the network, wherein the game world engine controller is constructed to:
receive from the entertainment game controller via the network, the initialization request;
determine whether or not the player is authorized to play a skill wagering interleaved game based on the player information included in the initialization request;
generate the plurality of transaction identifiers to be associated with the skill wagering interleaved game in response to the player being authorized to play the skill wagering interleaved game;
communicate to the entertainment game controller the plurality of transaction identifiers;
receive from the entertainment game controller via the network, the associated game world information and the associated transaction identifier;
determine whether or not the associated transaction identifier is valid;
determine the gambling outcome based on the game world information in response to the transaction identifier being valid;
determine the game world resources; and
communicate to the entertainment game controller via the network, the gambling outcome and the game world resources.

2. The networked gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the player information comprises information regarding an identity of the player.

3. The networked gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the player information comprises authorization information regarding whether the player is authorized to play the game.

4. The networked gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the player information comprises account information of an amount of credits associated with the player.

5. The networked gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the game world engine controller is further constructed to:
store the plurality of transaction identifiers in a memory; and
associate the plurality of transaction identifiers with the game world information.
