## Abstract

Systems and methods for operating a pre-authorized transaction interleaved wagering system are disclosed. A pre-authorized transaction interleaved wagering system uses pre-determined unique pre-authorized transaction identifiers to track transactions between and entertainment game and a game world controller that manages wager decisions within the pre-authorized transaction interleaved wagering system.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A gaming system comprising:
a real world credit controller comprising:
a real world credit meter;
a random number generator; and
a real world credit paytable, wherein the real world credit controller is configured to:
provide a randomly generated payout of real world credits from a wager of real world credits in a gambling game using the random number generator and the real world credit pay table;
augment an amount of real world credits stored in the real world credit meter based on the randomly generated payout of real world credits to the real world credit meter;
receive, from a game world operating system controller, a wagering decision to trigger the wager;
determine a random number generation result based on the wagering decision to trigger the wager; and
provide, to the game world operating system controller, the random number generation result based on the wagering decision to trigger the wager;
a processing device configured to:
monitor an interactive entertainment game for input of a game world information;
monitor the interactive entertainment game for input of an initialization request wherein the initialization request is associated with a player;
provide the game world information and initialization request to the game world operating system controller;
a display screen configured to display at least one of a gambling game result and wager outcomes based upon the game world information;
a user input device configured to receive from the player a wagering amount to use during game play; and
the game world operating system controller operatively connected to the real world credit controller and operatively connected to the processing device, the game world operating system controller configured to:
receive, from the processing device, the initialization request, wherein the initialization request is associated with the player;
determine whether the player is authorized to play a game, based on the initialization request;
when the player is authorized, allocate one or more pre-authorized transaction identifiers for use by a game world client wherein the one or more pre-authorized transaction identifiers of a gaming system are used to authorize game world information received from the processing device;
communicate the allocated one or more pre-authorized transaction identifiers to the game world client;
receive game world information from the processing device;
validate the pre-authorized transaction identifier when the received game world information is associated with the pre-authorized transaction identifier; and
process the received game world information associated with the pre-authorized transaction identifier when the pre-authorized transaction identifier is validated, wherein the processing comprises:
making the wagering decision;
providing, to the real world credit controller, the wagering decision to trigger the wager;
receiving, from the real world credit controller, the random number generation result based on the wagering decision to trigger the wager; and
providing, to the processing device, the random number generation results based on the wagering decision to trigger the wager.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The gaming system of claim 1, wherein the one or more pre-authorized transaction identifiers is a unique digital value that is generated by the game world operating system controller.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The gaming system of claim 2, wherein the one or more pre-authorized transaction identifiers is unique over a particular domain.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The gaming system of claim 3, wherein the particular domain is one of: an individual gaming session, the player's lifetime of gaming transactions, and all transactions.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The gaming system of claim 1, wherein the game world operating system controller is further configured to:
generate a plurality of pre-authorized transaction identifiers, wherein the plurality of pre-authorized transaction identifiers comprises the one or more allocated pre-authorized transaction identifiers; and
store the plurality of pre-authorized transaction identifiers.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The gaming system of claim 5, wherein the generating the plurality of pre-authorized transaction identifiers is based on at least one of: a type of entertainment game being played, and the amount of real world credit that the player has committed.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The gaming system of claim 1, wherein validating the pre-authorized transaction identifier comprises determining whether the pre-authorized transaction identifier associated with the received game world information is stored in a local data store of pre-authorized transaction identifiers of the game world operating system controller.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The gaming system of claim 1, wherein the initialization request comprises player information associated with the player.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The gaming system of claim 1, wherein the game world operating system controller is further constructed to:
determine that the game world operating system controller is coupled to an invalid entertainment game when the received pre-authorized transaction identifier cannot be validated.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The gaming system of claim 1, wherein the game world operating system controller is further constructed to:
determine that the game world operating system controller is coupled to an invalid entertainment game when the received game world information is not associated with a pre-authorized transaction identifier.
