Abstract
A system, computer-implemented method and gaming device are provided. A method includes receiving, by a synchronization server, broadcast event data that is displayed on an electronic display and that is generated by a television broadcasting system, receiving, by the synchronization server, sports wagering system data that is generated by a sports wagering system and that corresponds to a broadcast event, generating synchronized wager data that includes broadcast event data and the sports wagering system data and causing the sports wagering system data to be displayed on the electronic display.
Claims16
A server comprising:
- a processor circuit;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor circuit, the memory comprising machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to operate to:
- synchronize broadcast event data that is displayed on an electronic display with wagering system data that is provided by a wagering system to provide synchronized wagering data;
- and
- receive, via a mobile device, a wagering input that corresponds to the synchronized wagering data,
- wherein the broadcast event data comprises an identification of an event being broadcasted using the electronic display, and
- wherein to synchronize the broadcast event data that corresponds to a broadcast event, the processor circuit is further caused to:
- determine the identification of the broadcast event on the electronic display, and
- cause the electronic display to display the synchronized wagering data that is based on the identification of the event.
A server comprising:

- a memory coupled to the processor circuit, the memory comprising machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to operate to:
- synchronize broadcast event data that is displayed on an electronic display with wagering system data that is provided by a wagering system to provide synchronized wagering data;
- and
- receive, via a mobile device, a wagering input that corresponds to the synchronized wagering data,
- wherein the wagering system data comprises a wagering event on the mobile device, and
- wherein to synchronize the broadcast event data, the processor circuit is further caused to:
- determine an identification of the broadcast event based on the wagering system data on the mobile device, and
- cause the electronic display to display the synchronized wagering data that is based on the identification of the wagering event on the mobile device.

- synchronize broadcast event data that is displayed on an electronic display with wagering system data that is provided by a wagering system to provide synchronized wagering data;
- and
- receive, via a mobile device, a wagering input that corresponds to the synchronized wagering data, wherein responsive to a change of the broadcast event data from first broadcast event data to second broadcast event data on the electronic display, the synchronized wagering data is updated from first synchronized wagering data to comprise second synchronized wagering data that is different from the first synchronized wagering data.
