Abstract
A system may manage a first prize pool based on a plurality of wagers placed at a plurality of electronic gaming machines (EGMs) for a game of chance or skill. A second prize pool may be managed based on a plurality of back-bet wagers placed at the plurality of user computational devices for an outcome of the game of chance or skill. An award can be distributed from the first prize pool in connection with the game of chance or skill to a player at one of the plurality EGMs and an award from the second prize pool can be automatically distributed to a player at one of the user computational devices in response to distributing the award from the first prize pool.
