Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A mobile electronic gaming device comprising:
 a plurality of reels, one or more paylines formed on at least a portion of the plurality of reels;   a memory, the memory including a plurality of scrape away structures; and   a processor configured to generate one or more areas, each area covers one or more symbols;   wherein the processor is further configured to remove the one or more areas to reveal one or more covered symbols based on a selected tool and a selected area.   
     
     
         2 . The mobile electronic gaming device of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to reveal the one or more covered symbols based on one or more interactions between the selected tool and the selected area. 
     
     
         3 . The mobile electronic gaming device of  claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate one or more presentations based on the one or more interactions between the selected tool and the selected area. 
     
     
         4 . The mobile electronic gaming device of  claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to allow a second selection relating to a second selected tool and to reveal one or more covered symbols based on the second selected tool and a second selected area. 
     
     
         5 . The mobile electronic gaming device of  claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to display the one or more covered symbols. 
     
     
         6 . The mobile electronic gaming device of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to display the one or more covered symbols. 
     
     
         7 . The mobile electronic gaming device of  claim 4 , wherein the one or more covered symbols include at least one of a credit amount symbol, a multiplier symbol, a free spin symbol, and a blank symbol. 
     
     
         8 . The mobile electronic gaming device of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to reveal the at least one covered symbols based on a tool selected by a player. 
     
     
         9 . A method of providing gaming options via a mobile electronic gaming device comprising:
 displaying one or more areas where each area covers one or more symbols;   removing the one or more areas;   revealing one or more covered symbols based on a removal of the one or more areas and at least one of a selected tool and a selected area; and   generating a payout based on the one or more revealed symbols.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising revealing the one or more covered symbols based on one or more interactions between the selected tool and the selected area. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the one or more covered symbols include at least one of a credit amount symbol, a multiplier symbol, a free spin symbol, and a blank symbol. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising generating one or more presentations based on the one or more interactions between the selected tool and the selected area. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising allowing a second selection relating to a second selected tool and to reveal one or more covered symbols based on the second selected tool and a second selected area. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising displaying the one or more covered symbols. 
     
     
         15 . A mobile electronic gaming system comprising:
 a server including a server memory and a server processor, the server processor configured to generate one or more areas, each area covers one or more symbols, the server processor is further configured to remove the one or more areas to reveal one or more covered symbols based on a selected tool and a selected area; and   the server memory including a plurality of scrape away structures.   
     
     
         16 . The mobile electronic gaming system of  claim 15 , wherein the server processor is further configured to reveal the at least one covered symbol based on an input from a player. 
     
     
         17 . The mobile electronic gaming system of  claim 16 , wherein the server processor is further configured to allow the input from the player for a predetermined time period. 
     
     
         18 . The mobile electronic gaming system of  claim 16 , wherein the server processor is further configured to allow the input from the player for a predetermined number of picks. 
     
     
         19 . The mobile electronic gaming system of  claim 16 , wherein the server processor is further configured to display the at least one covered symbol.
