SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING ELECTRONIC GAMING

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for displaying and animating a game and showing game outcomes. A display presents a player with icons and the display is animated to show movement of the icons along a path. The icons move in and out of active and inactive regions on the display and the path, based on the shape and arrangement of the active and inactive regions as well as the shape and arrangement of the active and inactive portions of the path. The active and inactive portions of the path may be defined by the shape and arrangements of the active and inactive regions of the display. The outcome is determined based on the position and arrangement of the icons on the display and the path. The system receives player instructions and game outcomes may be random or may be predetermined. An outcome for the game may be determined from a set of potential game outcomes and visually presented to the player and an associated award or prize may be provided to the player.
