Abstract
Provided systems include a display that presents a player with icons. The display is animated to show movement of the icons along a path. The icons move in and out of active and inactive regions on the display and the path, based on the shape and arrangement of the active and inactive regions and the shape and arrangement of the active and inactive portions of the path. The outcome is determined based on the position and arrangement of the icons on the display and the path. The system receives player instructions and game outcomes may be random or may be predetermined. An outcome for the game may be determined from a set of potential game outcomes and visually presented to the player and an associated award or prize may be provided to the player.
