System for prizing remote users using real life sports personalities

A system for electronic game play involving one or more remote users of the system having a geographic presence within a given area in an electronic environment communicating with the system through an electronic communication system, the remote users utilizing electronic communication devices having one or more displays, the displays providing at least graphical images of players, the electronic communication devices having input capability and generate an output including electronic game play data corresponding to the input, the electronic communication devices having graphical display capabilities on the one or more displays, the system being coupled to a live event generating real time data, comprising:

• a control processor to process and store:
• (1) communications of the electronic game play data from the electronic communication devices to the system,
• (2) information regarding the geographic presence of the remote users within a given area and to prevent game play within the given area, and
• (3) mandated and variable parameters for use in the electronic game play, wherein the mandated parameters represent parameters which must be achieved by the system as a whole, and the variable parameters represent parameters characterizing at least one of:
• a game structure and a prizing structure,
• memory for storing a registration of the remote users,
• memory for storing the graphical images of players,
• a play server and memory to:
• (1) process and store an indication of a selection of graphical images of players by the remote users, the selection being communicated by the output of the electronic communication devices over the electronic communication system, the play server using the selections in combination with the electronic game play data and a first set of variable parameters to determine a first game play experience, and
• (2) modify the variable parameters to provide a second set of variable parameters providing a second game play experience, where the first game play experience differs from the second game play experience,
• a decision engine for performing game analytics on the electronic game play,
• an input permitting entry of the live event real time data, and
• a prizing system, the prizing system being coupled to the input permitting entry of the live event real time data, to award a win to the remote users determined by the prizing system based in at least part on the live event real time data.
