Gaming system and method for providing a game which populates symbols along a path

摘要

In various embodiments, the present disclosure relates generally to a game including a path of different symbol display positions. The gaming system generates one or more symbols (and/or one or more awards) at one or more of the symbol display positions of a matrix or grid. The gaming system then randomly forms a path including a plurality of the symbol display positions and determines an award for the player based on which symbol display positions are included in the formed path.

主权项

1. A gaming system comprising:
at least one display device; at least one input device; at least one processor; and at least one memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to operate with the at least one display device and the at least one input device to:
(a) display a plurality of adjacent symbol display positions,(b) randomly generate one of a plurality of symbols at a plurality of the adjacent symbol display positions,(c) randomly select a quantity of at least two of the adjacent symbol display positions, wherein said random selection of the quantity of at least two of the adjacent symbol display positions occurs prior to any display of any path formed by said at least two adjacent symbol display positions, (d) after randomly selecting the quantity of at least two of the adjacent symbol display positions, display a path formed by said selected quantity of at least two of the adjacent symbol display positions,
(e) accumulate each of the symbols generated at each of the randomly selected symbol display positions of the formed path,(f) determine if any awards are associated with the accumulated symbols, and(g) display any determined awards associated with the accumulated symbols.
