Abstract
The invention relates to systems and methods of placing real-world wagers, obtaining outcomes of the real-world wagers, facilitating user interactions with various interactive media, and revealing the outcomes of the real-world wagers using guaranteed and partner promotion reveals 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. The system may provide guaranteed reveals that may guarantee a payout of some value (e.g., the outcome of a real-world wager). The system may provide reveals that are tied to promotions from the partner promotions provider. For example, the system may provide a reveal that includes a promotional coupon or other value from a retailer. The promotional coupon may be provided as a bonus and/or a consolation.
