## Abstract

An electronic gaming machine using a game world credit monitoring module, an interactive controller, a process controller, and a wager controller to provide an interactive application that triggers wagers on the wager controller based on user interactions within the interactive application and allows the electronic gaming machine to make adjustments to the interactive application difficulty level to achieve a desired RTP based on game world credit generation within the interactive application.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic gaming machine constructed to receive currency, comprising:
an interactive controller constructed to communicate with a process controller and a game world credit monitoring module, wherein the interactive controller is further constructed to:
provide an interactive application to a user;
detect a trigger based on a user interaction in the interactive application;
communicate to the process controller the trigger; and
adjust a difficulty level of the interactive application; and
the game world credit monitoring module constructed to communicate with the interactive controller, wherein the game world credit monitoring module is further constructed to:
calculate a relationship between game world credits earned and RTP;
determine the limits of acceptable game world credit generation;
check actual game world credit generation;
calculate the expected final game world credits based on the measured game world credit generation;
identify the actual game world credit generation as outside the limits of acceptable game world credit generation;
and
distribute, to the interactive controller, an instruction to adjust the difficulty level of the interactive application; and
a wager controller constructed to communicate with the process controller, wherein the wager controller is further constructed to:
generate a wager outcome using a random number generator and a paytable; and
communicate the wager outcome to the process controller; and
the process controller operatively connecting the interactive controller and the wager controller, wherein the process controller is further constructed to:
receive the trigger;
request the wager outcome from the wager controller; and
update one or more credit meters using the skill outcome and the ordered set of chance components.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 1,
wherein the interactive controller and the process controller are constructed from the same device, and
wherein the process controller is operatively connected to the wager controller using a communication link.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 1,
wherein the wager controller and the process controller are constructed from the same device, and
wherein the process controller is operatively connected to the interactive controller using a communication link.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 1, further comprising:
an enclosure constructed to mount:
a user input device operatively connected to the interactive controller;
a user output device operatively connected to the interactive controller;
a credit input device operatively connected to the wager controller; and
a credit output device operatively connected to the wager controller.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 4, wherein the wager controller is further constructed to:
communicate with the credit input device to receive a credit input;
credit a credit meter with credits based on the incoming credit data;
resolve a wager proposition based on a communication received from the process controller;
update the credit meter based on a chance outcome of the wager; and
communicate with the credit output device to generate a credit output based on credits transferred off of the credit meter.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 1, wherein the acceptable game world credit generation is determined using the change in game world credit accumulated over time.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 1, wherein the acceptable game world credit generation is determined using the change in game world credit accumulated per user interaction.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 1, wherein the game world credit monitoring module instructs the interactive application controller to initiate game world credit production checks.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 1, wherein the player is presented with options to adjust the difficulty level when the actual game world credit generation is outside the limits of acceptable game world credit generation.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 9, wherein the game world credit monitoring module increases the frequency of checks of actual game world credit generation.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 1, wherein the game world credit monitoring module checks of actual game world credit generation are periodic and based on time elapsed.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 11, wherein the time elapsed is based on virtual time.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 11, wherein the time elapsed is based on real time.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 1, wherein the game world credit monitoring module checks of actual game world credit generation are based on demonstrated skill level in the interactive application.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The electronic gaming machine of claim 1, wherein the game world credit monitoring module checks of actual game world credit generation are based on a specific event in the interactive application.
