System and method for providing a currency multiplier item in an online game with a value based on a user's assets

1. A system configured to provide currency multiplier items to one or more users of an online game, the system comprising:

one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:

execute an instance of a virtual space, and to implement the instance of the virtual space to facilitate participation by the one or more users in the online game within the virtual space by effectuating presentation of views of the virtual space to the one or more users via one or more client computing platforms;

maintain one or more user accounts for the one or more users, the one or more user accounts comprising a first user account for a first user, the first user account including an inventory of virtual currency available to the first user for expenditure in the virtual space and virtual items available to the first user for use in the virtual space, wherein the inventory comprises a currency multiplier item available for use by the first user and wherein the currency multiplier item comprises a multiplier; and

facilitate use of virtual items from the inventory of the first user in the virtual space, wherein use of the currency multiplier item adjusts at least a portion of an amount of virtual currency that is in the inventory in the first user account prior to use of the currency multiplier item by multiplying at least the portion of the amount of virtual currency contained in the inventory of the first user prior to use of the currency multiplier item by the multiplier, wherein the adjustment to the amount of currency is not provided to the first user prior to use of the currency multiplier item.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein use of the currency multiplier item adjusts the amount of virtual currency in the inventory by stochastically adjusting the amount of virtual currency.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein use of the currency multiplier item adjusts an entire amount of virtual currency that is in the inventory in the first user account prior to use of the currency multiplier item.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the multiplier may be an integer value.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the multiplier may be less than 1.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the multiplier may be determined based on a monetization value associated with the user.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured by machine-readable instructions to present a store interface to the users, wherein the store interface presents a plurality of virtual items to the one or more users to purchase for a respective plurality of costs, the plurality of virtual items comprising the currency multiplier item.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured by machine-readable instructions to:

consume the currency multiplier item responsive to use of the currency multiplier item; wherein consuming the currency multiplier item comprises removing the currency multiplier item from the inventory of the user.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein use of the currency multiplier item adjusts the virtual items available to the first user by adding additional virtual items to the inventory of the first user.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the currency multiplier item comprises a multiplier, and

wherein use of the currency multiplier item multiplies an amount of a first virtual item in the inventory by the multiplier.

11. A computer-implemented method of providing currency multiplier items to one or more users of an online game, the method being implemented in a computer system comprising one or more physical processors, the method comprising:

executing an instance of a virtual space;

implementing the instance of the virtual space to effectuate presentation of views of the virtual space to the one or more users via the one or more client computing platforms;

maintaining one or more user accounts for the one or more users, the one or more user accounts comprising a first user account for a first user, the first user account including an inventory of virtual currency available to the first user for expenditure in the virtual space, and virtual items available to the first user for use in the game, wherein the inventory comprises a currency multiplier item available for use by the first user and wherein the currency multiplier item comprises a multiplier; and

facilitating use of virtual items from the inventory of the first user in the virtual space, wherein use of the currency multiplier item adjusts at least a portion of an amount of virtual currency that is in the inventory in the first user account prior to use of the currency multiplier item by multiplying at least the portion of the amount of virtual currency contained in the inventory of the first user prior to use of the currency multiplier item by the multiplier, wherein the adjustment to the amount of currency is not provided to the first user prior to use of the currency multiplier item.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein use of the currency multiplier item adjusts the amount of virtual currency in the inventory by stochastically adjusting the amount of virtual currency.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein use of the currency multiplier item adjusts an entire amount of virtual currency that is in the inventory in the first user account prior to use of the currency multiplier item.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the multiplier may be an integer value.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the multiplier may be less than 1.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the multiplier may be determined based on a monetization value associated with the user.

17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

presenting a store interface to the users, wherein the store interface presents a plurality of virtual items to the one or more users to purchase for a respective plurality of costs, the plurality of virtual items comprising the currency multiplier item.

18. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

consuming the currency multiplier item responsive to use of the currency multiplier item, wherein consuming the currency multiplier item comprises removing the currency multiplier item from the inventory of the user.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein use of the currency multiplier item adjusts the virtual items available to the first user by adding additional virtual items to the inventory of the first user.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the currency multiplier item comprises a multiplier, and

wherein use of the currency multiplier item multiplies an amount of a first virtual item in the inventory by the multiplier.

21. A non-transitory electronic storage media storing information related to providing currency multiplier items to one or more users of an online game, the stored information comprising:

a memory configured to store information related to the one or more users of the online game;

instructions configured to cause a client computing platform to:

execute an instance of a virtual space;

implement the instance of the virtual space to effectuate presentation of views of the virtual space to the one or more users via the one or more client computing platforms;

maintain one or more user accounts for the one or more users, the one or more user accounts comprising a first user account for a first user, the first user account including an inventory of virtual currency available to the first user for expenditure in the virtual space, and virtual items available to the first user for use in the game, wherein the inventory comprises a currency multiplier item available for use by the first user and wherein the currency multiplier item comprises a multiplier; and

facilitate use of virtual items from the inventory of the first user in the virtual space, wherein use of the currency multiplier item adjusts at least a portion of an amount of virtual currency that is in the inventory in the first user account prior to use of the currency multiplier item by multiplying at least the portion of the amount of virtual currency contained in the inventory of the first user prior to use of the currency multiplier item by the multiplier, wherein the adjustment to the amount of currency is not provided to the first user prior to use of the currency multiplier item.
