Patent Images
1. A machine-implemented method for wagering, comprising:
- determining a period of time;
after determining the period of time, receiving a bet indicating the value of a multi-digit number, the bet being associated with a time;
determining a first value based at least in part upon the value of a digit of a first financial market indicator, in which the value of the digit includes a value of the digit that occurs at the moment when the period of time has passed after the time associated with the bet;
determining a second value based at least in part upon the value of a digit of a second financial market indicator;
determining a winning number based at least in part upon the first value and the second value;
comparing, by a processor, the winning number against the value of the multi-digit number indicated by the bet;
determining, by the processor, an outcome of the bet based at least in part upon the comparison; and
providing, by the processor, information identifying the outcome.

Abstract
A method for wagering comprises receiving a bet regarding a spin of the reels of a slot machine. The method continues by determining a first value for a first reel of the slot machine based at least in part upon the value of a digit of a first financial market indicator. The method proceeds by determining a second value for a second reel of the slot machine, and by determining a third value for a third reel of the slot machine. The method concludes by determining the outcome of the bet based at least in part upon the first value, the second value, and the third value.
