Abstract:
Various embodiments of a gaming system and method offer replicating symbols. For example, gaming system generates a plurality of symbols for a play of a game, wherein at least one of the plurality of symbols can be a replicating symbol. Replicating symbols can be used to enhance a game outcome or award for player during a play of the game. The gaming system can determine a path of motion for a generated replicating symbol. The path can be predetermined or dynamically generated for the generated replicating symbols. The gaming system may randomly generate stop positions along the path. The gaming system may deposit copies of the generated replicating symbol at the generated stop positions. The gaming system evaluates the plurality of symbols and any displayed replicating symbols for winning symbol combinations and for determining any awards based on the evaluated winning symbol combinations.

Claim (Index 9):
The gaming system of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the processor further determines that a plurality of replicating symbols were generated in the plurality of symbols; and for each of the generated replicating symbols:\n determine a new distance between the predetermined point and one of the plurality of replicating symbols; \n generate and display a new connector between the predetermined point and the one of the plurality of replicating symbols, where a length of the connector is based on the determined distance; \n determine a new path to move the one of the plurality of replicating symbols across the displayed plurality of symbols, where the path is based on a position of the one of the plurality of replicating symbols, a location of the predetermined point, and the length of the connector; \n randomly determine a new stop position for the one of the plurality of replicating symbols along the determined path; \n display at least one new replicating symbol at the stop position; and \n determine any awards based on the plurality of symbols and any new replicating symbols, where the determination ignores one of the plurality symbols that is in the same position as any of the new replicating symbols.
