Abstract
Methods and apparatus for a gaming system are provided. The gaming system enables a player to engage in various types of gaming depending on the jurisdiction in which the player is located. For example, depending on the jurisdiction of a player's device, the gaming system may allow the player to wager using real world currency, or virtual currency. If the player's device is located in a jurisdiction that allows gambling using real world currency, the gaming system may allow the player to place wagers using real world currency. Alternatively, if the player's device is located in a jurisdiction that does not allow gambling using real world currency, the gaming system may limit the player to placing wagers using virtual currency.
