CONFIGURING AND CONTROLLING WAGERING GAME COMPATIBILITY

摘要

A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In some embodiments, the operations can include presenting a primary wagering game and receiving a request to present a secondary game in connection with the primary wagering game. The primary wagering game and the secondary game can be separate applications that require interactivity with each other (e.g., provide required functionality to each other, communicate shared data with each other, etc.). The operations can further include determining that an application programming interface (“API”) provides the required interactivity so that the secondary game can function in conjunction with the primary wagering game without problems (e.g., can successfully plug-in to the primary wagering game). The operations can further determine optional and non-optional requirements and determine compatibilities based on the optional and non-optional requirements. Further, the operations can add functionality to the primary wagering game, the secondary game, or the API, to enable compatibility.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a request to enable interactivity of a secondary game with a primary wagering game during a wagering game session, wherein the primary wagering game and the secondary game are separate applications, and wherein the primary wagering game includes an application programming interface; in response to receiving the request, determining, by a set of one or more processors, that the application programming interface is capable of enabling a portion of the interactivity of the secondary game with the primary wagering game; in response to the determining, enabling, by the set of one or more processors, the portion of the interactivity of the secondary game with the primary wagering game; and using the application programming interface to perform the portion of the interactivity of the secondary game with the primary wagering game.
