How to play

The stake per line is displayed in the “STAKE” meter which is located at the bottom right of the game screen below the reels. You can choose to increase or decrease the bet per line by using the Stake Up and Stake Down buttons available adjacent to the ‘Auto Play’ button. If game balance is less than $10, the system will automatically adjust the bet to the next highest possible value.

  • Balance: Your current game balance is shown in 'BALANCE' meter present above the reels on the right.
  • ‘BALANCE’ meter will show the updated value as soon as PLAY button is clicked, by deducting the ‘TOTAL STAKE’ value from existing ‘BALANCE’ value. Similarly, ‘BALANCE’ meter will show the updated value after a win, by adding the ‘TOTAL WIN’ value to the existing ‘BALANCE’ value.

Features

Fighting Machine Bonus:

  • The Fighting Machine bonus game is triggered by getting 3 BONUS symbols anywhere on the reels 1, 3 & 5.
  • When the game enters the bonus round, you will see the introduction screen showing details of the bonus game with Manual Fire & Auto Fire buttons. The idea of this bonus is to shoot as many of the Fighting Machines as you can before they shoot all 3 of your cannons.
  • With Manual Fire selected, you have 3 cannons and there are 3 Fighting Machines to shoot, each of your cannons can only shoot forwards at the machine in front of it (you cannot aim left or right, you can only adjust the power by pressing the Fire button at a different time).
  • When the power meter is on the amount you want, then press the Fire button to fire that cannon. The cannon will then be disabled for a moment while it reloads.
  • Damaging or Killing any of the 3 Fighting Machines while shooting them awards random prizes. These random prizes are added to the Total Won amount and continue to the next stage if all 3 cannons survive after destroying the Fighting Machines.
  • All prizes during the Bonus rounds are based on a random multiplier, multiplied by the total stake. The maximum possible win during the Bonus round is 700 times your total stake. 
  • If you kill all 3 of the machines then you will get on to the next stage. There are 3 stages in total and if you complete them all by killing all 9 Fighting Machines, you get an additional bonus of 500 times your total stake.
  • The game ends when you have no more cannons left or when you have killed all 9 machines. You will then be awarded your winnings and taken back to the main game.
  • System will play the bonus round for you, if “Auto Fire” button is selected when bonus round loads. All the cannons will show Auto Fire text and will fire automatically without your intervention. Once Auto Fire mode is activated, you will not be able to switch to Manual Fire mode in any circumstances. Game Play & wins display will be same as in Manual Fire mode.
  • During bonus round, Manual Fire mode will automatically switch to Auto Fire mode if the game is left idle for 2 minutes. "Switching to Auto Fire" will blink for 4 times on the game screen before the Auto Fire mode is activated and game will continue further in Auto Fire mode only. Any interruption by clicking on Fire of existing cannon(s) will stop switching to Auto Fire mode and bonus round can be continued in Manual Fire mode.
