and a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor responsive to an occurrence of a sporting event wager determination event, cause the processor to: trigger a play of a game responsive to an occurrence of a game triggering event, randomly determine an outcome associated with the triggered play of the game, determine, at least partially based on the randomly determined outcome associated with the triggered play of the game, a sporting event wager, and communicate data that results in a display, by a display device, of the triggered play of the game and the determined sporting event wager. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the sporting event wager determination event occurs responsive to a receipt, via an input device, of an input. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the sporting event wager determination occurs responsive to a satisfaction of a condition associated with a prior sporting event wager. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the occurrence of the sporting event wager determination causes the occurrence of the game triggering event. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the memory device stores a plurality of further instructions that, when executed by the processor responsive to the occurrence of the sporting event wager determination event, cause the processor to automatically place the determined sporting event wager. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the memory device stores a plurality of further instructions that, when executed by the processor responsive to the occurrence of the sporting event wager determination event, cause the processor to enable a modification of the determined sporting event wager. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the sporting event wager is determined at least partially based on the randomly determined outcome associated with the triggered play of the game and at least partially based on an input received that is independent of the triggered play of the game. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the randomly determined outcome associated with the triggered play of the game comprises a randomly determined game outcome of the triggered play of the game. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the play of the game comprises a play of a wagering game and the memory device stores a plurality of further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine an award associated with the randomly determined game outcome and communicate data that result in a display, by the display device, of the determined award. ### Claim 10 A system comprising: a processor; and a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor responsive to an occurrence of a sporting event wager determination event, cause the processor to: determine a plurality of sporting event wagers available to be placed, determine, based on an input received, a subset of the plurality of sporting event wagers available to be placed, randomly determine an outcome associated with a displayed play of a game that is independent of any sporting event, select, at least partially based on the randomly determined outcome associated with the displayed play of the game, a sporting event wager of the subset of the plurality of sporting event wagers, and communicate data that results in an automatic placement of the selected sporting event wager. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the randomly determined outcome associated with the displayed play of the game comprises a randomly determined game outcome of the displayed play of the game. ### Claim 12 A method of operating a system, the method comprising: responsive to an occurrence of a sporting event wager determination event: triggering, by a processor, a play of a game responsive to an occurrence of a game triggering event, randomly determining, by the processor, an outcome associated with the triggered play of the game, determining, by the processor and at least partially based on the randomly determined outcome associated with the triggered play of the game, a sporting event wager, and displaying, by a display device, the triggered play of the game and the determined sporting event wager. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the sporting event wager determination event occurs responsive to a receipt, via an input device, of an input. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the sporting event wager determination occurs responsive to a satisfaction of a condition associated with a prior sporting event wager. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the occurrence of the sporting event wager determination causes the occurrence of the game triggering event. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising, responsive to the occurrence of the sporting event wager determination event, automatically placing the determined sporting event wager. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising, responsive to the occurrence of the sporting event wager determination event, enabling a modification of the determined sporting event wager. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the sporting event wager is determined at least partially based on the randomly determined outcome associated with the triggered play of the game and at least partially based on an input received that is independent of the triggered play of the game. ### Claim 19 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the randomly determined outcome associated with the triggered play of the game comprises a randomly determined game outcome of the triggered play of the game. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein the play of the game comprises a play of a wagering game and further comprising determining, by the processor, an award associated with the randomly determined game outcome and displaying, by the display device, the determined award.
