Abstract
Gaming systems and methods that determine one or more awards based on the intersection of paths defined by two or more directional symbols.
Claims20
A gaming system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- communicate data that results in a display, by a display device, of a plurality of directional symbol display positions spaced apart from a plurality of award display positions,
- communicate data that results in a display, by the display device, of a quantity of directional symbols at a quantity of the plurality of directional symbol display positions, and
- responsive to at least two directional symbols defining at least two paths that intersect at an award display position of the plurality of award display positions, associate an award with that award display position.

A gaming system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor in association with a triggered sequence, cause the processor to:
- communicate data that results in a display, by a display device, of a plurality of directional symbol display positions spaced apart from a plurality of award display positions,
- responsive to a first random determination, communicate data that results in a display, by the display device, of a first directional symbol at a first directional symbol display position of the plurality of directional symbol display positions,
- responsive to a second, subsequent random determination, communicate data that results in a display, by the display device, of a second directional symbol at a second directional symbol display position of the plurality of directional symbol display positions, and
- responsive to a first award display position of the award display positions being part of a first path defined by the first directional symbol at the first directional symbol display position and being part of a second, different path defined by the second directional symbol at the second directional symbol display position, associate a first award with the first award display position.

- responsive to a first quantity of at least two directional symbols defining a first quantity of at least two paths that intersect at an award display position of the plurality of award display positions, associate a first award with that award display position, and
- responsive to a second, greater quantity of at least three directional symbols defining a second, greater quantity of at least three paths that intersect at the award display position of the plurality of award display positions, associate a second, greater award with that award display position.
