Systems and methods for displaying one or more randomly traversing selection indicia during an electronic game

A non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to at least:

• control a display device to display a matrix of award symbol display positions including a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, at least some of the award symbol display positions including an award symbol associated with an award;
• control the display device to display at least one selection indicium within the matrix, the selection indicium superimposed on the matrix and at least partially transparent, such that at least a portion of the matrix is visible through the at least one selection indicium;
• determine a starting award symbol display position and an ending award symbol display position within the matrix;
• randomly determine a path between the starting award symbol display position and the ending award symbol display position;
• control the display device to display the at least one selection indicium traversing the randomly determined path within the matrix;
• and
• in response to the at least one selection indicium stopping on a preselected an ending award symbol display position within the matrix, provide the award associated with the ending award symbol display position to a player.

A method for electronic gaming, the method comprising:

• controlling, via a processor of a mobile gaming system a display device of the mobile gaming system to display a matrix of award symbol display positions , at least some of the award symbol display positions including an award symbol ;
• controlling, via the processor, the display device to display at least one selection indicium within the matrix;
• randomly determining, via the processor, a path between at least some of the award symbol display positions within the matrix;
• controlling, via the processor, the display device to display the at least one selection indicium traversing the randomly determined path ;
• and
• in response to the at least one selection indicium stopping on a preselected ending award symbol display position, providing, via the processor, the award associated with the ending award symbol display position to a player.
