Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method of revealing escalating portions of outcomes of real-world wagers through interactive media based on user interactions with the interactive media, 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: causing, by the computer system, a real-world wager to be placed on behalf of a user through a third party wagering system; obtaining, by the computer system, a payout of an outcome of the real-world wager before a first user interaction by the user with interactive media and a second user interaction with the interactive media; incrementing, by the computer system, a balance of a first user account associated with the user based on the payout, wherein the first user account is used to maintain one or more payouts of real-world wagers, to which the user is entitled, that have not been revealed to the user by the computer system; revealing, by the computer system, a first portion of the balance to the user through the interactive media based on the first user interaction to give the appearance that the user won the revealed first portion based on the first user interaction; decrementing, by the computer system, the balance based on the revealed first portion; determining, by the computer system, whether to reveal a second portion of the balance to the user through the interactive media based on the second user interaction to give the appearance that the user won the revealed second portion based on the second user interaction, wherein the second portion is greater than the revealed first portion; and decrementing, by the computer system, the balance based on the second portion responsive to a determination to reveal the second portion.
