Systems and methods for regulated hybrid gaming

An apparatus for detecting unauthorized operation of a hybrid game, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing processor-executable instructions coupled to the one or more processors, the processor-executable instructions when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to preform a process comprising:
• collecting via a network, first game operating performance data (GOPD) from a plurality of hybrid games while the plurality of hybrid games are being played by a plurality of players, the first GOPD comprising first game world credit information for first game world credit accrued by the plurality of players as a function of the plurality of players' demonstrated skill at a plurality of entertainment games of the plurality of hybrid games, and first real credit information for first real credit committed by the plurality of players to a plurality of gambling games of the plurality of hybrid games as triggered by the plurality of players skillful play of the plurality of entertainment games to accrue the first game world credit;
• generating a reference profile using the first GOPD, the reference profile including determining a first rate of accrual of the first game world credit by the plurality of players and a first rate of commitment of the first real credit by the plurality of players;
• generating by the RSSA module a reference profile using the first GOPD, the reference profile a statistical model of entertainment game play outcomes;
• collecting via the network, second GOPD from the hybrid game while the hybrid game is being played by a second player, the second GOPD comprising second game world credit information for second game world credit accrued by the second player during play of an entertainment game of the hybrid game as a function of the second player's demonstrated skill at the entertainment game of the hybrid game, and second real credit information for second real credit committed by the second player to a gambling game of the hybrid game as triggered by the second player's play of the entertainment game of the hybrid game to accrue the second game world credit;
• determining a second rate of accrual of the second game world credit by the second player and a second rate of commitment of the second real credit by the second player;
• determining by the RSSA module whether the second player is operating the hybrid game in an unauthorized manner by comparing the reference profile to the rate of accrual of the second game world credit by the second player and the rate of commitment of the second real credit by the second player;
• and
• generating by the RSSA module a notification to an operator of the hybrid game upon determination that the second player is operating the hybrid game in an unauthorized manner, based on the comparison of the second entertainment game play outcomes to the statistical model of entertainment game play.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions, the processor-executable instructions when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform a process comprising:

• collecting via a network, first game operating performance data (GOPD) from a plurality of hybrid games while the plurality of hybrid games are being played by a plurality of players, the first GOPD comprising first game world credit information for first game world credit accrued by the plurality of players as a function of the plurality of players' demonstrated skill at a plurality of entertainment games of the plurality of hybrid games, and first real credit information for first real credit committed by the plurality of players to a plurality of gambling games of the plurality of hybrid games as triggered by the plurality of players skillful play of the plurality of entertainment games to accrue the first game world credit;
• generating a reference profile using the first GOPD, the reference profile including determining a first rate of accrual of the first game world credit by the plurality of players and a first rate of commitment of the first real credit by the plurality of players;
• generating by the RSSA module a reference profile using the first GOPD, the reference profile a statistical model of entertainment game play outcomes;
• collecting via the network, second GOPD from the hybrid game while the hybrid game is being played by a second player, the second GOPD comprising second game world credit information for second game world credit accrued by the second player during play of an entertainment game of the hybrid game as a function of the second player's demonstrated skill at the entertainment game of the hybrid game, and second real credit information for second real credit committed by the second player to a gambling game of the hybrid game as triggered by the second player's play of the entertainment game of the hybrid game to accrue the second game world credit;
• determining a second rate of accrual of the second game world credit by the second player and a second rate of commitment of the second real credit by the second player;
• determining by the RSSA module whether the second player is operating the hybrid game in an unauthorized manner by comparing the reference profile to the rate of accrual of the second game world credit by the second player and the rate of commitment of the second real credit by the second player;
• and
• generating by the RSSA module a notification to an operator of the hybrid game upon determination that the second player is operating the hybrid game in an unauthorized manner, based on the comparison of the second entertainment game play outcomes to the statistical model of entertainment game play.
