Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- communicate data that results in a display, by a display device, of a virtual element placed on a virtual game field overlaid upon a game field associated with a sporting event, and
- responsive to an event occurring during the sporting event in an area of the game field corresponding to an area of the virtual game field that is associated with the placed virtual element:
- determine an award, and
- communicate data that results in a display, by the display device, of the determined award.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- communicate data that results in a display, by a display device, of:
- a game field associated with a sporting event, and
- a virtual game field overlaid upon the game field associated with the sporting event, wherein:
- a first area of the virtual game field is greater than a corresponding first area of the game field associated with the sporting event,
- a second area of the virtual game field is smaller than a corresponding second area of the game field associated with the sporting event, and
- a first part of the first area of the virtual game field corresponds with the second area of the game field associated with the sporting event, and
- responsive to an event occurring during the sporting event in the second area of the game field associated with the sporting event that corresponds with the first part of the first area of the virtual game field:
- determine an award, and
- communicate data that results in a display, by the display device, of the determined award.
9 more elements
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- communicate data that results in a display, by a display device, of a modified game field associated with a sporting event, the modification being based on a designated area of a game field associated with the sporting event and a non-designated area of the game field associated with the sporting event each being part of a designated area of a virtual game field overlaid upon the game field associated with the sporting event,
- receive a sporting event wager associated with an event occurring in any area of the game field associated with the sporting event corresponding to the designated area of the virtual game field, and
- responsive to the event occurring during the sporting event in any area of the game field associated with the sporting event corresponding to the designated area of the virtual game field, determine that the sporting event wager is a winning sporting event wager, the determination occurring independent of the event occurring during the sporting event in the non-designated area of the game field associated with the sporting event not otherwise resulting in the sporting event wager being the winning sporting event wager.
