Systems for continuous multivariate wagering

An electronic gaming machine for performing a continuous multivariate wagering process, comprising:

• an enclosure constructed to mount:
• a user input device;
• a user output device;
• a credit input device;
• and
• a credit output device;
• a random number generator;
• at least one processor operatively connected to the user input device, the user output device, the credit input device, and the credit output device;
• and
• a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor, the memory storing processor executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
• communicate with the credit input device to receive a credit input;
• credit a credit meter with credits based on the credit data;
• generate a random number from the random number generator;
• generate a stochastic component using the random number;
• generate a stochastic element of the continuous multivariate wagering process using the stochastic component;
• generate an interactive user interface of the continuous multivariate wagering process based on the stochastic component;
• present the interactive user interface to a player using the user output device;
• detect player interactions with the interactive user interface using the user input device;
• determine an award state of the continuous multivariate wagering process based on the player interactions and the stochastic element;
• determine a wagering outcome for the multivariate wagering process using the award state;
• update the credit meter based on the wagering outcome;
• and
• communicate with the credit output device to generate a credit output based on credits transferred off of the credit meter.

A distributed gaming system for performing a continuous multivariate wagering process, comprising:

• an interactive controller constructed to:
• receive a stochastic element of a multivariate wagering process from a process controller via a network;
• generate an interactive user interface including interactive elements using the stochastic element;
