Abstract: Interactive computer graphics processing systems, and more particularly to the processing and coordinating of input systems and physics simulation engines with graphical display on video game systems with a gambling component that combines high-frequency physics simulation for gameplay with a high-frequency, low-latency input system in order to create a more realistic and immersive video game and/or virtual experience. The interactive computer graphics processing system comprises a user input system, a physics simulation system, a display system, and a software rendering system that are all in synchronous, multi-threaded operation when in use.

Abstract: A system and method of gambling that gives a player a skill-based challenge for an opportunity to gain a mathematical advantage in a game of chance. The method comprises providing a combination game of skill and a game of chance, where the game of chance is resolved after the game of skill and the game of skill provides an opportunity to attain a mathematical advantage in the game of chance.
