  • Method of combining a casino game with a game of skill

Stakes in the casino game are placed with chips, which may be purchased in exchange for the services of conducting the casino game. A winning stake is rewarded with a token, rather than with money. A token may be exchanged for an opportunity to demonstrate a skill in the skill game. Those that successfully demonstrate the skill are awarded a cash or other prize. The nature of the prize is correlated to an indicium on the token.
