Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, a plurality of outcomes are generated and used to create a video presentation of representative outcomes of a wagering game. The video presentation is recorded onto a tangible medium (e.g., DVD or CD-ROM) or otherwise provided to a player (e.g., the player may access the video presentation online). This allows a player to purchase a video presentation of predetermined outcomes in a jurisdiction in which gambling is legal yet view the presentation at the player's convenience (e.g., from any jurisdiction and at any time). The player is also offered to determine a result associated with at least one local game play, wherein the offer requires use of an electronic game device located in a legalized gambling jurisdiction to determine the local game play result. In some embodiments, a purchaser of the video presentation may subsequently redeem it for a total redemption value that is associated with both a redemption value for the tangible medium and with the results achieved from the local game play.
