  • Publication number: 20140274268
    Abstract: 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 skill-based actions 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 skill-based actions even though the outcomes resulted from the real-world wagers and were determined before the user interactions. The system may reveal an outcome of a real-world wager through the skill-based action, which is required to claim a value of the reveal. The skill-based action may include an action that requires interaction from a user and for which is not completely dependent on chance for the user to achieve the action.
