Abstract: A gaming system offers players the opportunity to play a skill-based challenge and bettors to place wagers based on events or outcomes in the skill-based challenge. A gaming system includes a processor, a display device, an input device and a memory device storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to operate with the display device and the input device, for a play of a wagering game, to perform operations. Operations include receiving, from a bettor, a wager that corresponds to a selected player of a plurality of players in a skill-based challenge, determining that the selected player has achieved a threshold outcome in the skill-based challenge, awarding a bettor monetary prize to the bettor in response to the selected player achieving the threshold outcome in the skill-based game, and awarding a player monetary prize to the selected player.

Abstract: A gaming system which employs a community skill award pool funded based on one or more awards that lower-skilled players (or no-skill players) failed to win in association with one or more skill-based games.

Abstract: In various embodiment, the gaming system provides a new gaming currency which is in addition to and different than current known land-based gaming establishment currencies, such as monetary credits, promotional credits and player tracking points and also in addition to and different than current known casual or social game currencies, such as virtual currencies. This gaming currency is accumulated and redeemed in association with the plays of games occurring at land-based gaming establishments as well as in association with the plays of casual or social games.

Abstract: An events agent core library of software functions, when executed by at least one processor of a client device, receives notifications of in-game events from game content software downloaded to the client device from a game supplier server and executing on the client device providing wagering game play to a user of the client device. Based on the notifications, the events agent core may report at least some of the in-game events to a front-end set of processor-executable instructions downloaded to the client device from a gaming operator server different from the game supplier server, the front-end set of processor-executable instructions being configured to cause the at least one processor of the client device to implement an out-of-game response based on at least one of the reported in-game events.

Abstract: The gaming systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a skill-based wagering game and determining the AEP % for each play based on the player's skill level. Generally, for a play of the skill-based wagering game, the gaming system receives a skill-based input from a player, derives a player skill level from the skill-based input, and determines an AEP % for the play based on the player skill level. The AEP % ranges from a minimum, nonzero AEP % to a maximum AEP %. The higher the player's skill level, the closer the AEP % is to the maximum AEP %, and vice-versa. The nonzero minimum AEP % appeals to low- and medium-skill players since they have a chance to win awards even if they perform poorly for a given play. High-skill players enjoy an advantage over their low- and medium-skill counterparts since they can use their high skill level to achieve comparatively higher AEP %'s.

Abstract: The gaming systems and methods of the present disclosure improve gaming technology and solve the above-described problem by providing a physics-based game including objects that have gameplay-altering features. Instead of acting conventionally when used for a play of the physics-based game, these objects may act unconventionally to alter an aspect of gameplay (as compared to gameplay without objects having gameplay-altering features). Because the objects may act unconventionally, player interactivity increases, and the gaming system emphasizes sound player decision-making: players must now account for the (possible) unconventional actions of the objects when making gameplay decisions like how to bet, which objects to pick, or where to release those objects.
