  • Publication number: 20200394871
    Abstract: An electronic gaming machine for an in-game purchase multivariate wagering process is disclosed. The electronic gaming machine generates an interactive user interface including interactive elements, detects player interactions of a player with the interactive elements of the interactive user interface, determines an interactive intermediate state of the in-game purchase multivariate wagering process based on the player interactions, wherein the interactive intermediate state includes data of an in-game item purchase request for an in-game item, generates the in-game item based on the interactive intermediate state, generates a stochastic element, determines the award state based on the interactive intermediate state and the stochastic element, incorporates the in-game item into the interactive application, and displays the wager result to the player.

  • Publication number: 20190251787
    Abstract: An interactive wagering process system is disclosed. The interactive wagering process system communicates with a credit input device to receive a credit input, credits a credit meter with credits based on the credit data, generates a random number using a random number generator, generates a stochastic element using the random number, and generates a virtual object in an interactive wagering game using the stochastic element. The interactive wagering process system detects player interactions of a player with the player presentation, determines if a player has interacted with the virtual object in a specified manner, detects an objective achievement based on the player interactions and the virtual object, updates the credit meter based on the objective achievement, and communicates with the credit output device to generate a credit output based on credits transferred off of the credit meter.
