Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods that provide real-time head-to-head sports wagering between players of gaming devices. Using a gaming device, a player initiates a wagering invitation message including an invitation to wager on an event associated with a competitive sporting contest. The invitation to wager defines an outcome associated with the event and an amount for the wager. The other player, from their own gaming device, and upon receiving information about the invitation to wager, can accept, decline, or propose a modification to the invitation to wager. The players can exchange communications between an interface of their gaming devices about potential wagers, existing wagers, or past wagers. Aspects of the present disclosure provide an enhanced social experience in head-to-head competitive sports wagering from a gaming device.

Abstract: A gaming system offers players the opportunity to play a skill-based challenge. Following the skill-based challenge, the player plays a chance-based prize round in which the player has the opportunity to win a prize. The gaming system receives a wager from a player and determines that the player has purchased a persistent skill enhancement that can be used by the player whenever the player is playing the skill-based challenge. The gaming system initiates the skill-based challenge including the persistent skill enhancement. Upon completion of the skill-based challenge, the gaming system awards the player at least one entry into a chance-based prize round. The probability of winning the chance-based prize round may be enhanced based on the outcome of the skill-based challenge. The gaming system then initiates the chance-based prize round and may award a monetary prize to the player in response to an outcome of the chance-based prize round.

Abstract: A gaming system and method that provides one or more players with one or more pre-resumption opportunities prior to resuming the play of the skill-based game. The gaming system enables one or more players to affirmatively acknowledge, following a game play interruption, that they are ready to resume play of the skill-based game. Such an opportunity to indicate a readiness to resume the play of the skill-based game provides that the play of the skill-based game resumes when the player is ready and minimizes the affect of any game play interruption on the player's outcome of the skill-based game.
