First Claim
1. A gaming system including:
- at least one display device;
at least one input device;
at least one processor; and
at least one memory device storing 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 at least one input device to;
(a) display a play of a primary game and determine an outcome of said play of the primary game;
(b) before, during, or after displaying said play of the primary game, display a plurality of random events and determine a random event outcome for each of said random events, the random event outcome being determined separately, distinctly, and independently from the outcome of said play of the primary game; and
(c) for each of the random events, if the random event outcome of said random event is one of a plurality of designated random event outcomes;
(i) determine whether to modify the outcome of said play of the primary game; and
(ii) if the at least one processor determines to modify the outcome of said play of the primary game, modify the outcome of said play of the primary game.

Abstract
A gaming system, gaming device, and method providing an obstacle board slot game. A wagering game including object starting and ending areas spaced apart in relation to one another, a plurality of obstacles and a plurality of designated target areas between the object starting area and the object ending area, and a plurality of reels including a plurality of symbols is displayed. The gaming system receives a wager, causes the reels to display a plurality of the symbols, and displays an object moving from the object starting area to one of the designated target areas and/or the object ending area along one of a plurality of object paths through the obstacles. If the object moves into one of the designated target areas, the gaming system determines whether to cause one of the reels to move and causes one of the reels to move if it so determines.

9. A method of operating a gaming system, said method including:
-
(a) causing at least one processor to execute a plurality of instructions stored in at least one memory device to operate with at least one display device to display a play of a primary game and determine an outcome of said play of the primary game; (b) before, during, or after displaying said play of the primary game, causing the at least one processor to execute the plurality of instructions to operate with the at least one display device to display a plurality of random events and determine a random event outcome for each of said random events, the random event outcome being determined separately, distinctly, and independently from the outcome of said play of the primary game; and (c) for each of the random events, if the random event outcome of said random event is one of a plurality of designated random event outcomes; (i) causing the at least one processor to execute the plurality of instructions to determine whether to modify the outcome of said play of the primary game; and (ii) if the at least one processor determines to modify the outcome of said play of the primary game, causing the at least one processor to execute the plurality of instructions to modify the outcome of said play of the primary game. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
