Abstract
Provided are systems, devices and methods for awarding a cryptocurrency responsive to a win on a wagering game. Operations include causing a first currency amount of a first currency to be purchased using a second currency that is different from the first currency, the first currency comprising a cryptocurrency that is maintained using a decentralized distributed management architecture. Operations include recording a second currency amount that corresponds to the first currency amount that was purchased using the second currency and allocating a first portion of the first currency amount to a gaming machine that is caused to generate a wagering game. Operations include determining a remaining amount of the first currency after the first portion of the first currency amount has been allocated and comparing the remaining amount of the first currency to a first currency threshold.
