IGT’s “Battleship” is the online slot adaptation of a popular World War I tactical game. The setting is an ongoing naval warfare in the high seas, with a voice-over welcoming the player as part of the naval team engaged in battle during the game.

The mechanics is quite simple in which the number of paylines is fixed at 40, and all that a player has to do is to select the number of coins to place as bets. A minimum $/£1 coin bet denotes a minimum of $/£40. 00 bet per game.

A spinning action that produces the matched Battleship icons denotes big winnings; although the Battleship also serves as the wild symbol used as substitute to form other matching combinations anywhere in the five reels. Wild Symbols stacked one on top of the other activates the Bonus Game.

Actually, the Bonus round is the fun part as it gives the player the option of getting free spins or a chance to play an interactive battleship game. Choosing the free spin bonus game will have players watching out for a Missile icon and its color. A Red Missile means one’s battleship has been hit, and signals the end of the free spins. A Green Missile, on the other hand brings on the bonus winnings because it indicates that an enemy battleship was hit during the reel-spinning action.

In choosing the Battleship Bonus, the player will be awarded with missiles to use in attacking enemy battleships. If the player is rewarded with five missiles, this means he can attack the entire fleet for which each ship has an equivalent bonus multiplier. A player who gets less than five missiles has to choose wisely, so he or she can hit the battleships with high multiplier, the greatest of which is x2,500.
