System and Method of Providing Wagering Opportunities Based on Multiplayer Interactions

摘要

The invention relates to systems and methods of selecting and placing real-world wagers responsive to one or more wager triggers, obtaining outcomes of the real-world wagers, facilitating user interactions with various interactive media, and revealing the outcomes of the real-world wagers through the interactive media to give an appearance that the outcomes of the real-world wagers resulted from the user interactions even though the outcomes resulted from the real-world wagers and were determined before the user interactions. The system may trigger reveals based on multiplayer interactions, such as, for example, a player-versus-player (“PvP”) interaction, a tournament interaction, a massively multiplayer online (“MMO”) interaction, and/or other types of multiplayer interactions. Regardless of the type of multiplayer interaction, the system may manage reveals based on an individual user's unrevealed balance, which includes payouts resulting from real-world wagers (and/or other value) that have not yet been revealed to the user.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method of revealing portions of outcomes of real-world wagers through interactive media such that user interactions with the interactive media appear to cause the revealed portions to be won from other users, the method being implemented in a computer system having one or more physical processors programmed with computer program instructions that, when executed by the one or more physical processors, cause the computer system to perform the method, the method comprising:
processing, by the computer system, a real-world wager associated with a first user; determining, by the computer system, an outcome of the real-world wager before a first user interaction by the first user with the interactive media and before a second user interaction by the second user with the interactive media; and revealing, by the computer system, at least a portion of the outcome to the first user through the interactive media based on the user interaction and/or the second user interaction to give the appearance that the first user won the revealed portion based on the first user interaction and/or the second user interaction.
