Abstract
The present disclosure provides a wagering game platform that employs individual player actions of players within a multiple-player (e.g., massively player) connected wagering game system as the primary and/or sole source of uncertainty within a wagering game. Only collective playing actions (e.g., act of betting and/or wager amount) of the players serve as the basis for the payout outcome such that the wagering game platform does not rely on a random and pseudorandom number generators within the wagering game.
