Abstract

Systems and methods of providing a secure gaming device including one or more game protection elements for ensuring the integrity and unassailability of game outcomes while providing an appealing mix of game features involving a wide range of various potential payout awards.

Claims

1. A system for secure sports wagering, comprising a game server including a computing device in communication with a communication network, a user device and a random number generator, the computing device comprising a processor and a memory device configured to store a plurality of parameters, each parameter of the plurality relating to statistical data generated by a sporting event, a plurality of variables relating to each parameter of the plurality of parameters, each variable relating to a preset participant in the sporting event, a plurality of potential outcomes and a plurality of executable instructions stored therein, the system being configured to:

a) actuate the game server to generate a display on the user device of the plurality of parameters;

b) receive a selected parameter from the user device;

c) display one or more variables relating to the selected parameter on the user device;

d) receive a selection of one or more variables for the selected parameter from the one or more variables displayed on the user device;

e) randomly assign a potential outcome from the plurality of potential outcomes to each combination of the selected parameter and the one or more selected variables;

f) compare the potential outcome for each combination of the selected parameter and the one or more selected variables with actual sporting event data received through the communication network; and

g) distribute a payout responsive to the potential outcome for each combination of the selected parameter and the selected one or more variables at least partially corresponding with the actual sporting event data.

2. A system for secure sports wagering, comprising a game server including a computing device in communication with a communication network, a user device and a random number generator, the computing device comprising a processor and a memory device configured to store a plurality of statistical categories of data collected from one or more sporting events, a plurality of participants in the one or more sporting events, a plurality of potential outcomes for the sporting event and a plurality of executable instructions stored therein, the system being configured to:

a) actuate the game server to generate a display on the user device of the plurality of statistical categories of data collected from one or more sporting events;

b) receive a selected statistical category of data from the user device;

c) display the plurality of participants in the one or more sporting events relating to the selected statistical category of data;

d) receive a selection of one or more participants from the plurality of participants displayed on the user device;

e) randomly assign a potential outcome from the plurality of potential outcomes to each combination of the selected statistical category of data and selected participant;

f) compare the potential outcome for each combination with actual sporting event data involving the participant received through the communication network; and

g) distribute a payout responsive to the potential outcome for each combination at least partially corresponding with the actual sporting event data.

3. A system according to claim 2, wherein the system is further configured to compare the randomly assigned potential outcomes with one or more preset criterion for determining a payout award and distribute a payout award responsive to the satisfaction of the one or more preset criterion.
