Battleship Slot Machine

Battleship is an unusual game in IGT's online offering - unusually, this is a game that was released online before it appeared in Vegas casinos. Actually, come to think of it, I have never seen it in Vegas.

The other thing about Battleship slots that is unusual, is that it includes a certain degree of skill in the bonus round. All the other slots made by IGT are based totally on random luck.

Battleship Slot Machine Real Money

Battleship slots has a few common trends that have been seen in many of the latest games from IGT, including stacked wilds that are similar to games like Wolf Run and Lil' Lady.

The graphics and sound of this game are absolutely top-notch and give the game a superb atmosphere that is half like a Hollywood film and for me, it brought back all the excitement of playing battleships as a kid.

When you get the bonus symbols aligned on the first three reels you will find you are presented with options to either go on to the battleship bonus round, called the 'Sink the Fleet' bonus or go on to the free spins bonus.

Although this bonus sounds just like any other free spins, it is actually quite different. At the bottom of the screen there are two battleships, one representing the player and one the enemy.

As the reels spin, they do so indefinitely. However, if one of the reels has a missile symbol on it, that will act as a hit. If it's a green missile it will damage the enemy ship, if it's a red missile it damages your (the player's) ship.

Get five hits on your ship and your free spins end. Get five hits on the enemy and you get a massive extra bonus.

It's a great twist on the free spins feature that keeps it really interesting and we think it could represent the future of slots in that players now demand more complex games and much more interactivity.

Battleship Slots Bonus Round

As you can imagine, the Battleship slot machine bonus round features the exact same board you played as a board game at home. You have to select squares and you will either get a 'hit' or 'miss'. Should you miss, you lose a life, but if you hit, you keep going.

The idea of the bonus game is to try to hit and sink as many of the war ships as you can. You get more bonus points and money if you can sink the bigger ships. If you hit all of the ships (sinking the fleet), you go on to take the main prize that can be up to 2,500x multiplier of your stake. The total maximum win on the 'Sink the Fleet' bonus round is 160,000 credits on max bet.

Can I play Battleship slots for real money?

Yes, Battleship slots is available as a real money slots game through the IGT Wagerworks platform. Notably, Battleship was released online before it appeared in land-based casinos – making it one of the few IGT titles to debut digitally first. Real money play is available to players in regulated online gambling markets, though availability in US land-based casinos may be limited.

How does the Sink the Fleet bonus round work in Battleship slots?

Each successful hit continues the round, while misses cost lives. Sinking larger ships earns more bonus credits. If the player sinks the entire fleet, the maximum prize of 2,500x the stake is awarded – worth up to 160,000 credits at maximum bet.

How does the free spins feature work in Battleship slots?

Battleship's free spins feature is unique compared to standard slot bonuses. Two battleships are displayed at the bottom of the screen – one for the player, one for the enemy. The reels spin continuously, with green missile symbols hitting the enemy ship and red missiles hitting the player's ship. Five hits on the enemy awards a major bonus prize; five hits on the player's ship ends the free spins.

What makes Battleship slots different from other IGT games?

Battleship is distinctive within the IGT catalogue for two reasons. First, it was released online before appearing in any land-based casino – the reverse of the usual IGT pattern. Second, it incorporates genuine skill and player decision-making in the Sink the Fleet bonus round, where strategic square selection affects the outcome. All other IGT titles at the time were purely random luck-based games.

How many reels and paylines does Battleship slots have?

Battleship is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot developed by IGT for the Wagerworks platform. It features stacked Wild symbols comparable to other IGT titles such as Wolf Run and Lil' Lady, alongside its two unique bonus modes: the interactive Sink the Fleet board game and the missile-battle free spins feature.
