The gaming machine may also be configured to present an animation of the wagering agent engaging in wagering activities.

Activity agent

A gaming system which employs one or more random determinations to redistribute award amounts or value not captured by lower-skilled players to higher-skilled players. The gaming system funds a skill award pool based on one or more awards that lower-skilled players (or no-skill players) failed to win in association with one or more skill-based games. The gaming system utilizes the escrowed amounts in the skill award pool to provide one or more supplemental awards to higher-skilled players, wherein the qualification to be provided a supplemental award and/or the amount of the randomly determined supplemental award are based, at least in part, on the one or more skill-based inputs made in association with the play of the skill-based game.

Gaming system and method for redistributing funds amongst players of skill games

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a skill-based wagering game with an available supplemental skill award. In various embodiments, the skill-based wagering game is a matching game. During play, the player makes skill inputs to attempt to correctly match moving objects to corresponding targets. The gaming system determines a primary award based on how many correct matches the player achieves, which is directly tied to the player's skill level during play. The primary award generally increases as the quantity of correct matches increases. For players who exhibit a high skill level during play (e.g., correctly match all of the moving objects to the targets), the gaming system may also provide a supplemental skill award. The probability of the supplemental skill award being large generally increases as the player's skill level during play increases.
