Wagering event on random distance movement

A gaming system comprising:

• a) a game field and a position indicator on the game field;
• b) the position indictor initially positioned on a first position on the game field;
• c) a wager acceptor on a game event determined by multiple random event outcomes;
• d) a first random event outcome generator, wherein the random event outcome provides instruction for moving the position indicator on the field from the first position in a direction on the game field to a second position;
• e) the same random event outcome generator being adapted to repeat a first additional random event outcome that provides instruction for moving the position indicator on the field from the second position in a direction on the game field to a third position;
• f) the same random event outcome generator being configured to repeat at least one additional random event outcome that provides instruction for moving the position indicator on the field from the third position in a direction on the game field to a fourth position;
• and
• g) a look-up table for determining an outcome on the wager based on a final position on the game field.

A method of providing a side bet game in an underlying wagering game comprising:

• a) providing a game field and a position indicator on the game field;
• b) positioning the position indictor on a first position on the game field;
• c) accepting a wager on a side bet game event determined by multiple random event outcome;
• d) providing an underlying game triggering event for the side bet;
• e) providing a first random event outcome in the underlying game that is used in the side bet game, wherein the random event outcome provides instruction for moving the position indicator on the field from the first position in a direction on the game field to a second position;
• f) repeating a first additional random event outcome that provides instruction for moving the position indicator on the field from the second position in a direction on the game field to a third position;
• g) repeating at least one additional random event outcome that provides instruction for moving the position indicator on the field from the third position in a direction on the game field to a fourth position;
• and
• h) determining an outcome on the wager based on a final position on the game field, whether or not a position has been reached beyond which the position indicator cannot be moved.
