Claims (26)

1. An 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 one or more physics-based game play structures, the one or more physics-based game play structures including crane categories where the crane categories include at least a first crane category and a second crane category, the first crane category having a first play level and the second crane category having a second play level; and

a processor configured to initiate at least one of the first crane category and the second crane category of the one or more physics-based game play structures based on a triggering event, the processor configured to display a first video crane presentation based on a first crane game play initiation associated with the first crane category and to display a second video crane presentation based on a second crane game play initiation associated with the second crane category.

2. The electronic gaming device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to move a crane based on input from a player.

3. The electronic gaming device of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a status of one or more objects based on crane movement data.

4. The electronic gaming device of claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to reveal data relating to the one or more objects based on the status of the one or more objects.

5. The electronic gaming device of claim 4 , wherein a revealed data is a prize amount.

6. The electronic gaming device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to display a payout based on the prize amount.

7. The electronic gaming device of claim 4 , wherein a revealed data is a stopper.

8. A method of providing gaming options via an electronic gaming device comprising:

receiving one or more wagers on one or more paylines;

determining one or more triggering events; and

displaying at least one of a first crane category and a second crane category of one or more physics-based game play structures, wherein the one or more physics-based game play structures including crane categories where the crane categories include at least the first crane category and the second crane category and wherein the first crane category having a first play level and the second crane category having a second play level and where a first video crane presentation is displayed based on a first crane game play initiation associated with the first crane category and where a second video crane presentation is displayed based on a second crane game play initiation associated with the second crane category.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising moving a crane based on input from a player.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising determining one or more statuses of one or more objects based on crane movement data.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising revealing data relating to the one or more objects based on one or more statuses of the one or more objects.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein a revealed data is a prize amount.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising displaying a payout based on the prize amount.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein a revealed data is a stopper.

15. An electronic gaming system comprising:

a server including a server memory and a server processor, the server memory including one or more physics-based game play structures, the one or more physics-based game play structures including crane categories where the crane categories include at least a first crane category and a second crane category, the first crane category having a first play level and the second crane category having a second play level;

the server processor configured to initiate at least one of the first crane category and the second crane category of the one or more physics-based game play structures based on a triggering event, the server processor configured to display a first video crane presentation based on a first crane game play initiation associated with the first crane category and to display a second video crane presentation based on a second crane game play initiation associated with the second crane category.

16. The electronic gaming system of claim 15 , wherein the server processor is further configured to move a crane based on input from a player.

17. The electronic gaming system of claim 16 , wherein the server processor is further configured to determine a status of one or more objects based on crane movement data.
