Abstract
A gaming device which involves a symbol marker which advances along one or more paths. The paths include a plurality of symbols and one or more path change conditions. If a path change condition occurs, the symbol marker moves from one path to a different path.

This type of bonus scheme increases player excitement for gaming devices.
