- for the play of the game occurring after the modification of the parameter of the game:
- determine, based at least in part on the modified parameter of the game, a game outcome, and
- communicate data that results in a display, by a display device, of the game outcome.

A gaming system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- responsive to a receipt of data identifying a first player:
- prior to a first play of a game and responsive to a receipt of data associated with the game parameter modification event occurring in association with a sporting event, modify a parameter of a game, and
- for the first play of the game occurring after the modification of the parameter of the game:
- determine, based at least in part on the modified parameter of the game, a first game outcome, and
- communicate data that results in a display, by a display device, of the first game outcome, and
- responsive to a receipt of data identifying a second, different player:
- for a second play of the game occurring after the receipt of data associated with the game parameter modification event occurring in association with the sporting event:
- determine, based at least in part on the parameter of the game, a second game outcome, and
- communicate data that results in a display, by a display device, of the second game outcome
