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 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. By integrating real-world wager outcomes with gameplay and other user interactions, the system may provide an engaging user experience with interactive media. For example, a game may reveal an outcome of a real-world wager (which has already occurred), in response to in-game actions such as user actions in the game, other players' actions in the game, game events (e.g., events caused by the game logic/artificial intelligence), and/or other events.

providing, by the computer system, the cryptographically sealed portion of the outcome to a remote device, wherein the remote device is able to access the cryptographically sealed portion of the outcome in a manner that gives the appearance that the cryptographically sealed portion of the outcome is based on a user interaction associated with the remote device;
receiving, the computer system, the cryptographically sealed portion of the outcome from the remote device;
determining, by the computer system, whether the cryptographically sealed portion of the outcome was accessed based on the record of the access; and
updating, by the computer system, an account of the user based on the determination of whether the cryptographically sealed portion of the outcome was accessed.
A system of providing an integrated wagering and interactive media platform, the system comprising:
one or more physical processor programmed to:
process a request for a reveal specification associated with a user from a remote device; obtain one or more outcomes of one or more real-world wagers from one or more balances associated with the user;
generate a reveal specification based on the one or more outcomes, wherein the reveal specification includes one or more reveal parameters that specify an amount of the one or more outcomes to reveal; and
provide the reveal specification to the remote device, wherein the remote device uses the reveal specification to potentially reveal at least a portion of the amount to the user.

A device that reveals outcomes of real-world wagers based on information from a computer system that provides the outcomes, the user device comprising:
one or more physical processor programmed to:
communicate a request for a reveal specification associated with the user to the computer system;
process a reveal specification received from the computer system, wherein the reveal specification includes one or more reveal parameters that specify an amount of the one or more outcomes to reveal; and
provide a reveal to the user based on the reveal specification.
A system that provides interactive media to other devices and reveals outcomes of real- world wagers, through the interactive media to the other devices, based on information from a computer system that provides the outcomes, the system comprising:
one or more physical processor programmed to:
communicate a request for a reveal specification associated with the user to the computer;
process a reveal specification received from the computer system, wherein the reveal specification includes one or more reveal parameters that specify an amount of the one or more outcomes to reveal; and
provide a reveal via interactive media provided to a downstream user device based on the reveal specification such that an amount associated with the reveal appears to have resulted from the interactive media.
