Patent ID: 8790170

Claim:
An electromechanical hybrid game, comprising: a gambling game of the electromechanical hybrid game comprising a real world engine configured to provide one or more randomly generated outcomes of real world credits for the gambling game; and an entertainment game of the electromechanical hybrid game comprising: an electromechanical game system that manages an electromechanical table game, the electromechanical table game including: a goal with which a player scores in the electromechanical table game by directing an element of the electromechanical table game into the goal, the element being a physical game object moveable along a surface of the electromechanical table game; and an actuator that physically affects a goal size of the goal of the electromechanical table game, wherein actions performed by the player during skillful execution of the electromechanical table game when scoring using the goal generate one or more entertainment game outcomes of game world credits; an entertainment game user interface configured to sense the actions performed by the player during the skillful execution of the electromechanical table game; and a game world engine configured to manage the entertainment game and communicate, to the real world engine of the gambling game, the one or more entertainment game outcomes based upon the sensed actions performed by the player during the player's skillful execution of the electromechanical table game, wherein the one or more entertainment game outcomes of game world credits communicated by the game world engine to the real world engine triggers the one or more randomly generated outcomes of real world credits for the gambling game, and wherein the electromechanical game system is configured to operate the actuator based on a type of outcome of the one or more randomly generated outcomes of real world credits for the gambling game to: decrease the goal size of the goal upon the type of outcome being a losing outcome of the gambling game; and increase the goal size of the goal upon the type of outcome being a winning outcome of the gambling game.
