Passively triggered wagering system

An electronic gaming machine constructed to receive real world credits from a player, comprising:

• an entertainment system engine connected to a visual output device constructed to:
• provide an entertainment game including a passively actuated enabling element wherein the passively actuated enabling element is an enabling element that is consumed through game play of the entertainment game in a manner that is not directly responsive to a player action;
• provide a visual display of the entertainment game;
• determine when the passively actuated enabling element is consumed in the entertainment game;
• generate a signal indicating a consumption of the passively actuated enabling element;
• transmit, to a game world controller, the signal indicating the consumption of the passively actuated enabling element;
• receive, from the game world controller, a signal including a result of a gambling event;
• generate a visual display of the result of the gambling event;
• and
• the game world controller, connected to the entertainment system engine and connected to a real world engine via a communication link, constructed to:
• continuously monitor the entertainment system engine to determine if at least one passively actuated enabling element is available;
• determine that a player account includes a sufficient amount of real world credit for a wager associated with the passively actuated enabling element when the passively actuated enabling element is introduced into the entertainment game;
• automatically reserve the sufficient amount of real world credit in the player account for use on the wager when it is determined that the passively actuated enabling element is available;
• continuously monitor the entertainment system engine for the signal indicating that the passively actuated enabling element has been consumed;
• receive, from the entertainment system engine, the signal indicating that the passively actuated enabling element has been consumed;
• initiate the gambling event based on the signal indicating that the passively actuated enabling element has been consumed;
• transmit, to the real world engine, a signal including a request for a resolution of the gambling event;
• receive, from the real world engine, a signal including a result of the gambling event based on a random number generator;
• and
• transmit, to the entertainment system engine, the signal including the result of the gambling event based on consumption of the passively actuated enabling element.
