1. A method, comprising the steps of:
- receiving from a user a bet on a roulette game;
receiving at least one event result of a sporting event that comprises a total number of participants;
a computing apparatus selecting from a memory device a set of rules, from a plurality of sets of rules, based at least in part on the total number of participants in the sporting event;
wherein the plurality of sets of rules are used for determining, based on event results of sporting events, outcomes that represent simulated roulette spins, the outcomes comprising at least one of;
numerical values, andcolors,wherein at least a first set of rules of the plurality of sets of rules are used for determining outcomes based on sporting events that have a first total number of participants;
wherein at least a second set of rules of the plurality of sets of rules are used for determining outcomes based on sporting events that have a second total number of participants, andwherein the first total number of participants is different from the second total number of participants;
the computing apparatus using the selected set of rules to determine, based at least in part on the at least one event result, at least one outcome that represents a simulated roulette spin; and
determining a result of the bet on the roulette game based at least in part on the at least one outcome.

39. A method, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving from a user a bet on a roulette game; a computing apparatus determining a one sporting event from a plurality of sporting events; in response to receiving from the user the bet on the roulette game, the computing apparatus assigning the bet to the determined sporting event such that a result of the bet on the roulette game is based at least in part on event results of the determined sporting event; receiving at least one event result of the determined sporting event; the computing apparatus obtaining from a memory device a set of rules, from a plurality of sets of rules, wherein the plurality of sets of rules are used for determining, based on event results of sporting events, outcomes that represent simulated roulette spins, the outcomes comprising at least one of; numerical values, and colors, wherein at least a first set of rules of the plurality of sets of rules are used for determining outcomes based on sporting events that have a first total number of participants, wherein at least a second set of rules of the plurality of sets of rules are used for determining outcomes based on sporting events that have a second total number of participants, and wherein the first total number of participants is different from the second total number of participants; the computing apparatus using the obtained set of rules to determine, based at least in part on the at least one event result, at least one outcome that represents a simulated roulette spin; and determining the result of the bet on the roulette game based at least in part on the at least one outcome. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
