1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by at least one computer processor of at least one computer in electronic communication with at least one other computer via an electronic communications network, a first position of a first race participant at an intermediate point within a race event based on first race positioning information obtained by at least one measuring device;
determining, by the at least one computer processor, a second position of a second race participant at an intermediate point within the race event based on second race positioning information obtained by the at least one measuring device;
determining, by the at least one computer processor, a first simulated playing card based at least in part upon the determined first position;
determining, by the at least one computer processor, a second simulated playing card based at least in part upon the determined second position;
determining, by the at least one computer processor, an outcome of a game based at least in part upon the first and second simulated playing cards; and
causing information about the outcome to be displayed at an interface of an electronic display device in electronic communication with the at least one computer processor.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method of gaming is provided that comprises receiving a determination of a particular race participant in a race event having a plurality of race participants. The method continues by determining a particular position of the particular race participant at each of a plurality of intermediate points within the race event. The method continues by determining a plurality of simulated playing cards based at least in part upon the determined positions of the particular race participant. The method concludes by determining an outcome of a game based at least in part upon the determined simulated playing cards.

11. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one processor of at least one computer in electronic communication with at least one other computer via an electronic communications network; and at least one memory having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the at least one processor, direct the at least one processor to; determine a first position of a first race participant at an intermediate point within a race event based on first race positioning information obtained by at least one measuring device; determine a second position of a second race participant at an intermediate point within the race event based on second race positioning information obtained by the at least one measuring device; determine a first simulated playing card based at least in part upon the determined first position; determine a second simulated playing card based at least in part upon the determined second position; determine an outcome of a game based at least in part upon the first and second simulated playing cards; and cause information about the outcome to be displayed at an interface of an electronic display device in electronic communication with the at least one processor. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which are configured to, when executed by at least one processor of at least one computer in electronic communication with at least one other computer via an electronic communications network, direct the at least one processor to:
-
determine a first position of a first race participant at an intermediate point within a race event based on first race positioning information obtained by at least one measuring device; determine a second position of a second race participant at an intermediate point within the race event based on second race positioning information obtained by the at least one measuring device; determine a first simulated playing card based at least in part upon the determined first position; determine a second simulated playing card based at least in part upon the determined second position; determine an outcome of a game based at least in part upon the first and second simulated playing cards; and cause information about the outcome to be displayed at an interface of an electronic display device in electronic communication with the at least one computer processor.
