Abstract
In various embodiments, players may compete in a gaming context.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of sensing devices configured to detect outcomes from a plurality of sets of a same number of games and communicate the outcomes over a communication network, in which sets of the plurality of sets are consecutive and mutually exclusive;
- and
- a computing device configured to control:
- receiving the outcomes, from the plurality of sensing devices, over the communication network;
- aggregating the outcomes from each set of the plurality of sets of the same number of games into aggregated outcomes, in which the aggregating the outcomes includes making a respective comparison for each set of the plurality of sets of at least one of first outcomes and second outcomes in the games and wins and losses in the games;
- enabling, over the communication network, wagering at a mobile client device based on location determination information received over the communication network from the mobile client device and indicating a current location of the mobile client device;
- receiving, from the mobile client device over the communication network, during play of the plurality of sets, a wager defined by the aggregated outcomes from first games of first sets of the plurality of sets, in which the wager is for remaining games in the plurality of sets;
- for each of the remaining games, determining whether a suboutcome of the wager is a winning suboutcome based on aggregated outcomes of the remaining games;
- and
- determining whether the wager is a winning wager based on a number of winning suboutcomes determined from the remaining games.

A method comprising:
- controlling, by at least one processor:
- detecting, by a plurality of sensing devices, outcomes from a plurality of sets of a same number of games;
- communicating the outcomes over a communication network, in which sets of the plurality of sets are consecutive and mutually exclusive;
- receiving the outcomes, from the plurality of sensing devices, over the communication network;
- aggregating the outcomes from each set of the plurality of sets of the same number of games into aggregated outcomes, in which the aggregating the outcomes includes making a respective comparison for each set of the plurality of sets of at least one of first outcomes and second outcomes in the games and wins and losses in the games;
- enabling, over the communication network, wagering at a mobile client device based on location determination information received over the communication network from the mobile client device and indicating a current location of the mobile client device;
- receiving, from the mobile client device over the communication network, during play of the plurality of sets, a wager defined by the aggregated outcomes from first games of first sets of the plurality of sets, in which the wager is for remaining games in the plurality of sets;
- for each of the remaining games, determining whether a suboutcome of the wager is a winning suboutcome based on aggregated outcomes of the remaining games;
- and
- determining whether the wager is a winning wager based on a number of winning suboutcomes determined from the remaining games.

A non-transitory storage medium configured to store instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, control:
- detecting, by a plurality of sensing devices, outcomes from a plurality of sets of a same number of games, in which sets of the plurality of sets are consecutive and mutually exclusive;
- aggregating the outcomes from each set of the plurality of sets of the same number of games into aggregated outcomes, in which the aggregating the outcomes includes making a respective comparison for each set of the plurality of sets of at least one of first outcomes and second outcomes in the games and wins and losses in the games;
- enabling, over a communication network, wagering at a mobile client device based on location determination information received over the communication network from the mobile client device and indicating a current location of the mobile client device;
- receiving, from the mobile client device over the communication network, during play of the plurality of sets, a wager defined by the aggregated outcomes from first games of first sets of the plurality of sets, in which the wager is for remaining games in the plurality of sets;
- for each set of the remaining games, determining whether a suboutcome of the wager is a winning suboutcome based on the aggregated outcomes of the remaining games;
- and
- determining whether the wager is a winning wager based on a number of winning suboutcomes determined from the remaining games.
