Normalizing skill-based wagering games

A wagering game server comprising:

• a bonus game controller configured to initiate a plurality of skill-based bonus games across a plurality of wagering game machines;
• and
• a skill-based bonus game normalization unit configured to collect game result data associated with the plurality of skill-based bonus games, and to
• determine, during a normalization process for one or more of the plurality of skill-based bonus games, whether a rate of awarding a secondary economy asset for the one or more the skill-based bonus games is within a range based on the game result data;
• if the rate of awarding the secondary economy asset for the one or more skill-based bonus games is not within the range, adjust parameters of the one or more skill-based bonus games to normalize the rate of awarding the secondary economy asset across the plurality of skill-based bonus games;
• and
• deploy the one or more skill-based bonus game with the adjusted parameters across one or more of the wagering game machines.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for initiating a plurality of skill-based bonus games across a plurality of wagering game machines;
• means for collecting game result data associated with the plurality of skill-based bonus games;
• means for determining whether to initiate a normalization process for one or more of the plurality of skill-based bonus games;
• means for determining whether a rate of awarding a secondary economy asset for the one or more skill-based bonus games is within a range based on the game result data;
• means for adjusting parameters of the one or more skill-based bonus games to normalize the rate of awarding the secondary economy asset across the plurality of skill-based bonus games;
• and
• means for deploying the one or more skill-based bonus games with the adjusted parameters across one or more of the wagering game machines.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• initiating a plurality of skill-based bonus games across a plurality of wagering game machines;
• collecting game result data associated with the plurality of skill-based bonus games;
• during a normalization process for one or more of the plurality of skill-based bonus games, determining whether a rate of awarding a secondary economy asset for the one or more skill-based bonus games is within a first range based on the game result data;
• if the rate of awarding the secondary economy asset for the one or more skill-based bonus games is not within the first range, determining whether the rate of awarding the secondary economy asset is a predetermined amount outside the first range;
• if the rate of awarding the secondary economy asset is a predetermined amount outside the first range, adjusting parameters of the plurality of skill-based bonus games to normalize the rate of awarding the secondary economy asset across the plurality of skill-based bonus games to a rate within a second range;
• creating a new secondary economy asset for the plurality of skill-based bonus games;
• adjusting parameters of the plurality of skill-based bonus games to normalize a rate of awarding the new secondary economy asset across the plurality of skill-based bonus games at a rate within the first range;
• and
• deploying the plurality of skill-based bonus games with the adjusted parameters across one or more of the wagering game machines.

One or more machine-readable storage media, having instructions stored therein, which, when executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprise:

• initiating a plurality of skill-based bonus games across a plurality of wagering game machines;
• collecting game result data associated with the plurality of skill-based bonus games;
• during a normalization process for one of the plurality of skill-based bonus games, determining whether a rate of awarding a secondary economy asset for the skill-based bonus game is within a range based on the collected game result data;
• if the rate of awarding the secondary economy asset for the skill-based bonus game is not within the range, adjusting parameters of the skill-based bonus game to normalize the rate of awarding the secondary economy asset across the plurality of skill-based bonus games;
• and
• deploying the skill-based bonus game with the adjusted parameters across one or more of the wagering game machines.
