System and method of providing an integrated wagering and interactive media platform
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of providing an interactive media platform, the method being implemented in a computer system having one or more physical processors programmed with computer program instructions that, when executed by the one or more physical processors, cause the computer system to perform the method, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the computer system, an indication of a unit of value to which a user is entitled;
determining, by the computer system, at least a portion of the unit of value to be potentially revealed to the user;
generating, by the computer system, a reveal specification comprising one or more reveal parameters that specify at least the portion of the unit of value to be revealed to the user through an interactive media application based on a user interaction by the user with the interactive media application to give the appearance that the user is entitled to the portion of the unit of value based on the user interaction;
causing, by the computer system, the reveal specification to be transmitted to the interactive media application;
generating, by the computer system, a user interface that includes information that indicates the portion of the unit of value and information related to the unit of value to which the user is entitled, wherein the user interface is different from the interactive media application; and
causing, by the computer system, the user interface to be provided to a user device associated with the user responsive to a user request to view the information related to the unit of value to which the user is entitled.

Abstract
The invention relates to systems and methods of providing an integrated wagering and interactive media platform. The system may allow various types of third party interactive media providers such as video game publishers (including smartphone and tablet game publishers, console game publishers, etc.), video and other multimedia download or streaming services, and others to access outcomes of real-world wagers associated with users so that the outcomes may be revealed in association with interactive media. Other types of systems may also access the reveal mechanisms to reveal outcomes of real-world wagers such as, for example, retail systems, kiosks, vending machines, and/or other user touch points that can identify a user, obtain wager outcomes from the system, and provide the wager outcomes to the user. Furthermore, in-house developed games and other interactive media may use the reveal mechanisms described herein to reveal outcomes of real-world wagers associated with the user.
