Providing live sporting event video at sports gaming devices, and related systems and methods

A computer-implemented method of operating a gaming device comprising:

• providing, by a processor circuit of the gaming device, video of a sporting event to a display device of the gaming device;
• selecting a set of wagers that are associated with events in the sporting event;
• providing, by the processor circuit, an indication of the set of wagers to the display device;
• determining, by the processor circuit, whether a wager has been selected from among the set of wagers which satisfies a wager requirement for continuing providing the video;
• and
• in response to a determination that the wager requirement for continuing providing the video has not been satisfied, suspending, by the processor circuit, providing the video of the sporting event to the display device.

A gaming device comprising:

• a display device;
• a processor circuit;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor circuit, the memory comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to:
• transmit a request to a content server in communication with the gaming device for video of a sporting event to be provided to the gaming device;
• receive the video of the sporting event from the content server in response to the request;
• in response to receiving the video of the sporting event from the content server, provide the video of the sporting event to the display device of the gaming device;
• determine a set of wagers that are associated with events in the sporting event;
• provide an indication of the set of wagers to the display device;
• determine whether a wager has been selected from among the set of wagers which satisfies a wager requirement for continuing providing the video;
• and
• in response to determining that the wager requirement for continuing providing the video has not been satisfied, cause the gaming device to suspend providing the video of the sporting event to the display device.
