Abstract
Games related to the aggregation of information are described.
Claims21
(canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- a computing device;
- and
- a non-transitory medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions that when executed causes the apparatus to:
- determine an outcome for a future game;
- determine a plurality of pieces of information, in which the outcome is defined by a plurality of aspects, and in which each piece of information of the plurality of pieces of information describes a respective aspect of the plurality of aspects;
- prior to revealing the outcome, provide a first piece of the plurality of pieces to a graphical user interface of a first device of a first player of the future game, in which the first piece is different from another piece of the plurality of pieces provided prior to revealing the outcome to a graphical user interface of another device of another player of the future game, in which the first piece of information identifies a first aspect of the outcome, and in which the another piece of information identifies another aspect of the plurality of aspects;
- prior to revealing the outcome, allow the first player to obtain, and provide to the graphical user interface of the first device, a second piece of the plurality of pieces;
- receive a wager in the future game from the first device after the first and second pieces were provided to the first device, in which the wager includes an amount bet that the outcome is a particular outcome;
- reveal the outcome at the graphical user interface of the first device;
- and
- determine whether the wager is a winning wager based on a comparison between the outcome and the particular outcome.

A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, an outcome for a future game;
- determining, by the computing device, a plurality of pieces of information, in which the outcome is defined by a plurality of aspects, and in which each piece of information of the plurality of pieces of information describes a respective aspect of the plurality of aspects;
- prior to revealing the outcome, providing, by the computing device, a first piece of the plurality of pieces to a graphical user interface of a first device of a first player of the future game, in which the first piece is different from another piece of the plurality of pieces provided prior to revealing the outcome to a graphical user interface of another device of another player of the future game, in which the first piece of information identifies a first aspect of the outcome and in which the another piece of information identifies another aspect of the plurality of aspects;
- prior to revealing the outcome, by the computing device, allowing the first player to obtain, and providing to the graphical user interface of the first device, a second piece of the plurality of pieces;
- receiving, by the computing device, a wager in the future game from the first device after the first and second pieces were provided to the first player, in which the wager includes an amount bet that the outcome is a particular outcome;
- revealing, by the computing device, the outcome at the graphical user interface of the first device;
- and
- determining, by the computing device, whether the wager is a winning wager based on a comparison between the outcome and the particular outcome.
