    Abstract: A system and method for revealing a primary game prize to a participant via the participant's play of a secondary game that is different than the primary game. A primary game engine awards a primary game prize to the participant based on participation in the primary game. The primary game prize is not initially revealed to the participant, thereby making it an unrevealed primary game prize. A secondary game engine controls operation of the secondary game and awards a secondary game prize to the participant based on play of the secondary game. The secondary game prize awarded to the participant is a virtual representation of a portion or all of the unrevealed primary game prize. The notification of the secondary game prize to the participant is a revealing of that portion or all of the unrevealed primary game prize.
