1. An electronic gaming system comprising:
at least one memory device with instructions stored thereon; and
at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory device, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
cause display of a selection indicium in a display area of a display device;
determine, for a play of an electronic game, a starting symbol position for the selection indicium in the display area;
randomly determine a first segment of a travel path for the selection indicium between the starting symbol position and an intermediate symbol position in the display area;
randomly determine a second segment of the travel path for the selection indicium between the intermediate symbol position and an ending symbol position in the display area;
cause display of the selection indicium traversing the travel path comprising the starting symbol position, the intermediate symbol position, and the ending symbol position; and
cause presentation of an output for the play of the electronic game, wherein the output is associated with the ending symbol position.
