Using non-wagering-game state for wagering games

One or more machine-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a set of one or more processors causes the set of one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• presenting wagering game content for a wagering game during a wagering game session associated with at least one player account;
• accessing a persistent-state, non-wagering game associated with the at least one player account in response to presenting the wagering game content;
• detecting a state of the persistent-state, non-wagering game in response to accessing the persistent-state, non-wagering game;
• and
• modifying an element of the wagering game according to the state of the persistent-state, non-wagering game in response to the detecting the state of the persistent-state, non-wagering game.

A system comprising:

• at least one input device configured to receive an indication of a wager to play a wagering game;
• at least one display device configured to display the wagering game;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory device storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to
• detect that a plurality of non-wagering game player accounts access a non-wagering game,
• detect that virtual assets of the non-wagering game are associated with at least two of the plurality of non-wagering game player accounts that access the non-wagering game, and
• select the at least two of the plurality of non-wagering game player accounts to participate in community event for the wagering game based on detection that the virtual assets are associated with the at least two of the plurality of non-wagering game player accounts.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one input device configured to receive an indication of a wager to play a wagering game;
• at least one display device configured to display the wagering game;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory device storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to
• present the wagering game during a wagering game session associated with a wagering game player account,
• present, concurrently with presentation of the wagering game, a non-wagering game associated with a non-wagering game player account linked to the wagering game player account,
• detect one or more virtual assets of the non-wagering game associated with the non-wagering game player account, and
• modify a volatility of the wagering game based on detection of the one or more virtual assets of the non-wagering game.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one input device configured to receive an indication of a wager to play a wagering game;
• at least one display device configured to display the wagering game;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory device storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to
• initiate a wagering game session associated with a player;
• access a non-wagering game associated with the player;
• detect one or more virtual assets of the non-wagering game, which one or more virtual assets are persistent with the non-wagering game, and wherein the one or more virtual assets are attainable at least via play of the non-wagering game;
• and
• present the wagering game according to one or more characteristics of the one or more virtual assets.
