The gaming system of claim 1, wherein when executed by the at least one processor, the plurality of instructions cause the at least one processor to enable a player make at least one input to place at least one of the plurality of different eliminators at at least one of the eliminator display positions. 6. The gaming system of claim 1, wherein a first quantity of eliminated symbols is associated with a first award and a second, higher quantity of eliminated symbols is associated with a second, higher award. 7. The gaming system of claim 1, wherein a first quantity of eliminated symbols is associated with a first award and a second, higher quantity of eliminated symbols is associated with a second, lower award. 8. The gaming system of claim 1, wherein when executed by the at least one processor, the plurality of instructions cause the at least one processor to determine the award based on the quantity of eliminated symbols and at least one attribute of at least one of the eliminated symbols. 9. The gaming system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of symbols include at least one enemy symbol and at least one ally symbol and when executed by the at least one processor, the plurality of instructions cause the at least one processor to determine the award based on a quantity of eliminated enemy symbols and a quantity of non-eliminated ally symbols. 10. The gaming system of claim 1, wherein the award is at least one selected from the group consisting of: a quantity of monetary credits, a quantity of non-monetary credits, a quantity of promotional credits, and a quantity of player tracking points. 11. The gaming system of claim 1, wherein a quantity of symbols of the single chain of symbols is based on a wager amount associated with the play of the game. 12. The gaming system of claim 1, wherein when executed by the at least one processor, the plurality of instructions cause the at least one processor to randomly determine at least one of: the displayed path of symbol display positions and at least one of the eliminator display positions. 13. A method of operating a gaming system, said method comprising: (a) for a play of a game, causing at least one display device to display: (i) a path of a plurality of symbol display positions, said path associated with a single chain of symbols including a plurality of different symbols having a plurality of different symbol attributes,(ii) at least one of the symbols at at least one of the symbol display positions, and(iii) at least one of a plurality of different eliminators at at least one eliminator display position, said plurality of different eliminators having a plurality of different eliminator attributes and each eliminator display position being associated with at least one of the symbol display positions,(b) if any of the symbols are displayed at any of the symbol display positions associated with any of the eliminator display positions, for each symbol displayed at each symbol display position associated with at least one of the eliminator display positions, causing at least one processor to execute a plurality of instructions to determine if the eliminator displayed at the eliminator display position eliminates the symbol displayed at the associated symbol display position, said determination being based on the symbol attribute of the symbol and the eliminator attribute of the eliminator, such that a first one of the symbols having a first one of the symbol attributes is eliminated by a first one of the eliminators having a first one of the eliminator attributes and not eliminated by a second one of the eliminators having a second one of the eliminator attributes,(c) causing the at least one processor to execute the plurality of instructions to determine an award based on a quantity of eliminated symbols, and(d) causing the at least one display device to display the determined award. 14.
