System and method of revealing real world wager outcomes based on user interactions with interactive media
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of timing reveals of portions of outcomes of wagers stored in a user account balance associated with a user, 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 outcome of a wager associated with a user;
updating, by the computer system, a user account balance based on the outcome;
obtaining, by the computer system, one or more reveal parameters that specify a timing related to a reveal of at least a portion of the user account balance; and
causing, by the computer system, the portion of the user account balance to be revealed via an interactive media application based on the one or more reveal parameters.

Abstract
The invention relates to systems and methods of selecting and placing real-world wagers responsive to one or more wager triggers, obtaining outcomes of the real-world wagers, facilitating user interactions with various interactive media, and revealing the outcomes of the real-world wagers through the interactive media to give an appearance that the outcomes of the real-world wagers resulted from the user interactions even though the outcomes resulted from the real-world wagers and were determined before the user interactions. By integrating real-world wager outcomes with gameplay and other user interactions, the system may provide an engaging user experience with interactive media. For example, a game may reveal an outcome of a real-world wager (which has already occurred), in response to in-game actions such as user actions in the game, other players'"'"' actions in the game, game events (e.g., events caused by the game logic/artificial intelligence), and/or other events.
