In various embodiments, the present disclosure relates generally to a game including a path of different symbol display positions. The gaming system generates one or more symbols (and/or one or more awards) at one or more of the symbol display positions of a matrix or grid. The gaming system then randomly forms a path including a plurality of the symbol display positions and determines an award for the player based on which symbol display positions are included in the formed path.

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, for each of a plurality of said symbol display positions, whether to include said symbol display position in said formed path. 11. A gaming system comprising: a housing;a plurality of input devices supported by the housing, said plurality of input devices including: (i) an acceptor, and(ii) a cashout device;at least one display device supported by the housing;at least one processor; andat least one memory device which stores 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 plurality of input devices to: (a) if a physical item is received via the acceptor, establish a credit balance based, at least in part, on a monetary value associated with the received physical item,(b) display a plurality of adjacent symbol display positions including a plurality of levels of symbol display positions,(c) at each of a plurality of the adjacent symbol display positions, display a symbol randomly determined from a plurality of symbols,(d) for each level of symbol display positions, randomly select which of the symbol display positions of that level to connect to which of any symbol display positions of any subsequent level to form a path of symbol display positions,(e) display said formed path of symbol display positions,(f) accumulate each of the symbols generated at each of the randomly selected symbol display positions of the formed path,(g) determine if any awards are associated with the accumulated symbols,(h) display any determined awards associated with the accumulated symbols, and(i) if a cashout input is received via the cashout device, cause an initiation of any payout associated with the credit balance. 12. A gaming system server comprising: at least one processor; andat least one memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to: (a) cause at least one display device to display a plurality of adjacent symbol display positions,(b) at each of a plurality of the adjacent symbol display positions, cause the at least one display device to display a symbol randomly determined from a plurality of symbols,(c) randomly select a quantity of at least two of the adjacent symbol display positions, wherein said random selection of the quantity of at least two of the adjacent symbol display positions occurs prior to any display of any path formed by said at least two adjacent symbol display positions,(d) after randomly selecting the quantity of at least two of the adjacent symbol display positions, cause the at least one display device to display a path formed by said selected quantity of at least two of the adjacent symbol display positions,(e) accumulate each of the symbols displayed at each of the randomly selected symbol display positions of the formed path,(f) determine if any awards are associated with the accumulated symbols, and(g) cause the at least one display device to display any determined awards associated with the accumulated symbols, wherein a credit balance is increasable based on any determined awards associated with the accumulated symbols, said credit balance being increasable via an acceptor of a physical item associated with a monetary value, and said credit balance being decreasable via a cashout device. 13.
