Abstract: A gambling hybrid game that provides game history validation. The gambling hybrid game includes an entertainment system engine that provides an entertainment game to a user, a real world engine that provides gambling games to users, and a game world engine that monitors the entertainment game and provides gambling games when appropriate. The entertainment system engine stores game history information in response to a trigger event and provides at least a portion of the stored game history information to a game world engine. The game world engine stores received portion of the game history information. When a request for game history verification is received by the game world engine, the game world engine retrieves the game history information from the entertainment system engine and used the portion of the game history information stored by the game world engine to verify the game history information from the entertainment system engine.
