Systems and methods for interactive games

Abstract

The invention relates to systems and methods of gaming, including online gambling. The system may enable betting to be performed by a user with respect to one or more events (e.g., the betting results are revealed to the user (optionally in a time delayed manner) based at least in part on the user's game play with respect to an interactive game (e.g., an online interactive electronic game)). By way of example and not limitation, the event may be a sporting event, a lottery, stock market activity, a political race, or other form of risk resolution that provides a return against an amount wagered. The interactive game may involve physical coordination, problem solving and/or other activity unrelated to the underlying event being wagered on. Further, the actual selection of events (e.g., races and competitors, stocks, etc.) to bet on may be automatically selected, without requiring the user to perform manual selections.
