## Abstract

An electronic gaming machine for pari-mutuel interleaved wagering. Operation of the electronic gaming machine includes receiving pari-mutuel wagering parameters for a wager from a pari-mutuel server, generating an interactive thematic graphical display using the pari-mutuel wagering parameters, displaying the thematic graphical display to a user, receiving a placement of a wager from the user, communicating the placement of the wager as a wager request to a pari-mutuel server, receiving from the pari-mutuel server, a pari-mutuel gambling outcome of the wager, determining a wager outcome from the pari-mutuel gambling outcome, generating interactive application resources and events using the wager outcome, and generating the interactive thematic graphical display using the interactive application resources and events.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic gaming machine for pari-mutuel interleaved wagering, comprising:
an enclosure constructed to mount:
a user input device operatively connected to at least one processor;
a user output device operatively connected to the at least one processor;
a credit input device operatively connected to the at least one processor; and
a credit output device operatively connected to the at least one processor;
the at least one processor; and
a memory connected to the at least one processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to:
communicate with the credit input device to receive a credit input;
credit a credit meter with credits based on the incoming credit data;
receive pari-mutuel wagering parameters for a wager from a pari-mutuel server;
generate an interactive thematic graphical display using the pari-mutuel wagering parameters;
display the interactive thematic graphical display to a user using the user output device;
receive a selection for a placement of a wager from the user;
communicate the placement of the wager as a wager request to a pari-mutuel server;
receive from the pari-mutuel server, a pari-mutuel gambling outcome of the wager;
determine a wager outcome from the pari-mutuel gambling outcome;
generate interactive application resources and events using the wager outcome;
update the interactive thematic graphical display using the interactive application resources and events;
update the credit meter based on the wager outcome; and
communicate with the credit output device to generate a credit output based on credits transferred off of the credit meter.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine for pari-mutuel interleaved wagering of claim 1, wherein the interactive thematic graphical display further comprises an individual graphical element for each of a plurality of wager options.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine for pari-mutuel interleaved wagering of claim 1, wherein the executable instructions when executed by the at least one processor further cause the at least one processor to provide an interactive application using the interactive thematic graphical display.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The electronic gaming machine for pari-mutuel interleaved wagering of claim 3, wherein the user's selection for the placement of the wager is based on an input into the interactive application.
