The interleaved wagering system includes a display and a mobile device, where the mobile device is connected to a wager server by a process server. The wager server is also connected to credit input and credit output devices. A user inputs credit items into the matching wagering system providing wagering credits for a matching game. The mobile device hosts an interactive application providing a matching game where an interactive game board, including a grid and symbols, is displayed to a user, who selects and places a symbol on the board. When a specified number of matched symbols within the grid on the board is determined, a credit wager is executed in the wager controller, resulting in a credit wager outcome utilizing a random number generator and paytable.
