Pick Your BattleTM Bonus
Trigger the Pick Your Battle Bonus by getting three Bonus symbols on Reels 1, 2, and 3 on a played line. Decide between two bonus rounds: the Winning Encounter Bonus, or the Sink the Fleet Bonus. Both Bonus rounds have the same average payback. Click the name of the Bonus round to begin play.
Winning EncounterTM Bonus
The player can spin free until they sink the enemy ship, or the enemy ship sinks them, or they have spun 100 times.
The free spins reels are similar to the reels in the main game with stacks of three Wild symbols on every reel. Just like the main game, these Stacked Wilds can lead to a huge number of simultaneous wins and some amazingly big payouts -- up to 125,000 credits at max bet.
Regardless of the number of paylines played in the main game, all 25 paylines in this bonus are always active. The bet per line for the free spins is the same as the bet that triggered the bonus. For example, a 2-credit bet on the payline that triggered the bonus would activate all 25 paylines with a 2-credit bet in the Winning Encounter Bonus.
Two ships are displayed on the bottom middle of the screen. The top ship with multipliers is the enemy ship and the bottom ship is the player's. The ship-to-ship battle progresses when blue and red torpedo sub-symbols appear on the fourth and fifth reels. If a blue torpedo sub-symbol appears anywhere on the fourth reel, then the enemy ship is damaged! If a red torpedo sub-symbol appears anywhere on the fifth reel, then the player's ship is damaged! Each ship can be damaged five times before it is sunk.
As the enemy ship receives damage, the free spins multiplier increases by one. The multiplier at the start of the free spins bonus is 1x. The player can earn up to a 5x multiplier by progressively damaging the enemy ship. A multiplier takes immediate effect after it is earned from a spin.
The free spins bonus is over once one of the ships is sunk.
Earning no credits in the Winning Encounter Bonus awards the player a consolation of 100 credits.
Sink the FleetTM Bonus
The bonus is played on an 8x8 grid. Five enemy ships are randomly located somewhere on the grid.
Enemy Ships
• Carrier (5-length ship)
• Battleship (4-length ship)
• Cruiser (3-length ship)
• Submarine (3-length ship)
• Destroyer (2-length ship)
Enemy Ship Placement
Enemy ships could be oriented horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally.
Enemy ships may be located adjacent to each other, but ships do not overlap.
Objective
Sink the entire enemy fleet with eight or fewer misses. Click a spot on the grid to fire a shot. Each shot is either a 'Hit' or a 'Miss'. A corresponding icon with appear on the grid notifying the shot result. Every part of a ship must be hit in order to sink. If a hit results in sinking a ship, the ship is revealed on the grid. The console display on the left side of the screen highlights to display which ships have been sank. Clicking the 'Click for Pays' monitor on the left side of the screen reveals the bonus paytable. The total number of misses remaining are shown on the bottom right of the console in blue lights. With each miss, a blue light turns on. The bonus is over when all eight blue lights are turned on. A basic strategy guide for the game can be found in the 'in game' help files.
Earnings
Credits are earned by either hitting or sinking ships.
All pays are multiplied by the line bet that triggered the bonus. (See paytable for details on the pays).
Top award earned by sinking the entire enemy fleet, up to 16,100 credits at max bet.
Consolation award given if no ships are hit during the bonus.
Turbo Mode
Turbo mode allows players to speed through portions of the Sink the Fleet Bonus. Clicking the TURBO button bypasses a majority of dialogue and animation sequences. This allows players to see quickly if the shot fired was a 'Hit' or a 'Miss'. Click the TURBO button again to resume normal play. The TURBO button has no impact on the player's outcome or winnings.

The game does not download load properly. Why is this?
This problem can be broken down into two more specific complaints, which are are below. However, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us (contact info in the footer) if you are having difficulty.
1. The game is not displaying properly - This will be due to your screen resolution being too small. The game works on a minimum screen resolution of 800 by 600 pixels. To change your screen resolution simply go to your desktop and click on the right-hand mouse button. A menu will pop up and you will need to select 'Properties'. Another box will pop up and you will need to select 'Settings' from the tabs running along the top of the box. From here you will be able to alter your screen resolution.
2. The game is simply not working at all - This may be because you need to download the latest version of Flash Player. After loading the game, you will have received a screen prompt asking you whether you wanted to download the latest version of Flash Player. Downloading this will ensure that you will be able to play the game without any problems. If you ignored or switched the prompt off, you can go to the Macromedia website and download Flash Player from there.
The game seems to be running very slowly. It there anything I can do about this?
Unfortunately not. Our game relies upon your machine, and will run as quickly or slowly as your machine allows. Other than upgrading your computer and its facilities, there is little that can be done with regards to improving the speed of the game on any one machine.
