A variable skill proposition interleaved wagering system is disclosed. The system includes an interactive processing device constructed to detect a user selection of a payable having an associated skill proposition, communicate the selection of the paytable to a process controller, receive the skill proposition from the process controller, determine a skill outcome for the skill proposition presented to a user, and communicate to the process controller the skill outcome. A wager controller is constructed to generate a wager outcome using the selected paytable, and communicate the wager outcome to the process controller. The process controller constructed to receive the selection of the paytable, determine the skill proposition from the selection of the paytable, communicate the skill proposition to the interactive processing device, receive the skill outcome from the interactive processing device, and update one or more credit meters using the skill outcome and the wager outcome.
