  • Publication number: 20200380819
    Abstract: A self-reconfiguring wagering system is disclosed. The system comprises an interactive controller that communicates with a process controller, determines a skill outcome for two or more skill objectives presented to a user, and communicates to the process controller the skill outcome. A chance-based controller of the system hu communicates with the process controller, generates an ordered set of chance components having one or more chance outcomes using a random number generator and a paytable, and communicates the ordered set of chance components to the process controller. The process controller receives the ordered set of chance components, reorders the ordered set of chance components on the basis of a testing skill outcome and an actual use skill outcome, receives the skill outcome from the interactive controller, and updates one or more credit meters using the skill outcome and the ordered set of chance components.
