The ship building percentages are based on how much you bet. I was betting $1.20 so everytime I got a "ship" symbol it would build it 15%. I hit the max a couple of times, which is $3.20, and it built the ship 50%. You have the opportunity to get 5 ships total and sometimes when you complete a ship it will give you a chance to upgrade your multiplier. There are two group bonuses, there's only one shown in my videos. The second one is much better, it shows a ship on the top screen and each player has a tractor beam linked to it. The player that pulls in the ship without having an overload automatically gets $15.00 and it's multiplied by all of your ships in your fleet. I had 3 ships when I won and they were 3x, 4x and 5x so I won $15.00 x 12 = $180.00 on a $1.20 bet. Plus, the best part of that bonus is that you get to keep all of your ships. The first bonus you have to pick, which is shown. There are 2 shield save symbols in each round to help save your ships. It's pretty hard to pick them so you almost always lose your fleet in the bonus and have to start all over again. If you are lucky enough to get your ships through the bonus by picking the sheild symbols you get to keep them until the next bonus plus they are upgraded to better "times pay" ships. I told you it was a pretty complicated game, but tons of fun! There were always seats open at the Southpoint with a lot of people standing around. It is kind of an intimidating game because there's a lot to learn, but it makes the game soooo much more interesting than a normal community slot. Hope this helps!

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info! I REALLY want to play this game SOON!!!

Hi Natty:

This is exactly the type of game I love.

You are so right ... the games with "staying power" have a little more meat on the bones. Your typical STAR TREK fan wants a little someting more as well.

Can't wait to play this one. Thanks so much for posting the video. Feel free to post as much as you want! Haha!

I played this in Vegas at Bill's (80 centsminimum) and at Venetian (40 centsminimum) and concluded that the object of this iteration is to take your cash as fast as it can. Previous posts explain the ship building process and obviously if you have more wagered and more ships built by the time the Bonus round occurs, you have better odds of winning ( losing ) a lot. I for one miss the old game and played it more than the new one on my recent trip. However,if it finds its' way to Colorado I am likely to play it regardless since it is all that remains of the Star Wars Star Trek slots that had endeared themselves to me over the last 3 yeras.

WMS tweeted today that Star Trek Battlestations is now live at Mohegan Sun!!!

Hi devron:

With every new release, the first thing we usually hear about is how the game took their money. It's a slot ... so I expect this to a certain degree. Hope your future encounters with the game are more profitable.

This game is absolutly TERRIBLE!! Wms did a great job with sound and graphics. But to me the player, its very difficult to figure out when you have a win and what it means. The play on it is very very difficult to understand and not user friendly at all. This machine will fail.

Hi btvend ...

Now you really make me want to play it!! Did you get onto it with more play? I like games with some complexity! Do you think Trek fans will figure it out?

This game is complex, but if you spend about 15 minutes going through everything it has to offer, you can pretty much figure it out fully. I love that it keeps you thinking, I hope it does very well because it's something out of the ordinary. In the end, you really can't do anything else except push a button to make it spin, so in that respect it's probably just as easy as any other slot I think one of the great parts is that you can't talk on your cell phone while playing, no distractions! HeHe...
