Abstract
In various embodiments, a secondary player may make a bet that pays based on aggregate data from multiple games of primary players.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device after a first player generates an electronic signal to make a first bet in a first game and the first bet has been resolved, that the first game should be used as a basis for a second game;
- determining, by the computing device, data representing a first state of the first game at a first point in the first game and a second state of the first game at a second point in the first game, in which a determination of data representing a first payment to be transmitted to the remote computing device of the first player in the first game is based on the second state;
- presenting, by the computing device after the determination of the first payment to the first player in the first game is made, data representing a first indication of the first state to a remote computing device of a second player as part of the second game;
- receiving, by the computing device after presenting the first indication of the first state of the first game to the remote computing device of the second player, data representing a second bet from the remote computing device of the second player in the second game;
- presenting, by the computing device after receiving data representing the second bet, data representing a second indication of the second state to the remote computing device of the second player;
- and
- determining, by the computing device, whether to generate an electronical signal to provide data representing a second payment to be transmitted to the remote computing device of the second player from play of the second game based on data representing the second bet and the second state.

An apparatus comprising:
- a computing device;
- and
- a non-transitory medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions that when executed by the computing device cause the apparatus to:
- determine, after a first player generates an electronic signal to make a first bet in a first game and the first bet has been resolved, that the first game should be used as a basis for a second game;
- determine data representing a first state of the first game at a first point in the first game and a second state of the first game at a second point in the first game, in which a determination of data representing a first payment to be transmitted to the remote computing device of the first player in the first game is based on the second state;
- present, after the determination of the first payment to the first player in the first game is made, data representing a first indication of the first state to a remote computing device of a second player as part of the second game;
- receive, after presenting the first indication of the first state of the first game to the remote computing device of the second player, data representing a second bet from the remote computing device of the second player in the second game;
- present, after receiving data representing the second bet, data representing a second indication of the second state to the remote computing device of the second player;
- and
- determine whether to generate an electronical signal to provide data representing a second payment to be transmitted to the remote computing device of the second player from play of the second game based on data representing the second bet and the second state.

- present, after the determination of the first payment to the first player in the first game is made, data representing a first indication of the first state to a remote computing device of a second player as part of the second game;
- receive, after presenting the first indication of the first state of the first game to the remote computing device of the second player, data representing a second bet from the remote computing device of the second player in the second game;
- present, after receiving data representing the second bet, data representing a second indication of the second state to the remote computing device of the second player;
- and
- determine whether to generate an electronical signal to provide data representing a second payment to be transmitted to the remote computing device of the second player from play of the second game based on data representing the second bet and the second state.
