Gaming system, gaming device, and method for providing a game in which a player collects emblems by positioning accumulators in a field

A gaming system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one display device;
• at least one input device;
• and
• at least one memory device storing 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 emblems in a predefined field;
• (b) display one of a plurality of different accumulators, said displayed accumulator having a predetermined accumulator shape which defines a perimeter of said displayed accumulator;
• (c) enable a player to input a desired position of the displayed accumulator within the predefined field in accordance with an accumulator positioning criterion;
• (d) for each of a plurality of the emblems, determine if said emblem is collected based on whether the perimeter of the positioned accumulator has a designated spatial relationship with said emblem, wherein the perimeter of said positioned accumulator has the designated spatial relationship with said emblem if the perimeter of said positioned accumulator at least partially encircles said emblem;
• (e) if a termination condition is not satisfied, display another one of the plurality of accumulators, said displayed accumulator having a predetermined accumulator shape which defines a perimeter of said displayed accumulator, and repeat (c) to (f);
• and
• (f) if the termination condition is satisfied, cause a game award to be provided the player based on any collected emblems.
