I saw a few videos of this in Instagram in the past week - I though about sharing it here but I couldn't figure out how the game paid out just based on these clips so I didn't really have any analysis to contribute.
One of the videos I saw showed that you are able to place the boats yourself.
Personally I would never play this game in real life (it seems really hard to win anything), but I have to admit it's a really really innovative and interesting concept. ETGs are getting more innovative.

I am excited to see it, I think these games based on nostalgia will be popular. Some of the coin pusher slots and other similar style games have been doing very well from what I hear. Glad to see ETG's do something new, rather than offer blackjack to low limit players.

It looks like a game with plenty of potential for fun. It's not what I'd play, but it is an interesting development. I enjoyed the original Battleship slot, circa 2000 or so.

I would enjoy doing an analysis if I could see the full rules. If anyone sees it, please take a photo of EVERY rule screen and post them.

Interblock seems to have released a few games like this but I haven't seen any in real life yet.

Hey, as long as we're putting classic games into casino games, how about Game of Life?
You get a 1000x1000 pixel screen, borderless (when things move off one edge they reappear at the opposite edge), start by paying your credits and drawing as many pixels as you like on the screen. Press the button, then the computer flips a random pixel, and they're off! Using the classic rules or any other convenient ruleset.
After a predefined number of iterations the player is offered a payment corresponding to the number of pixels illuminated on the screen, and they can press the button and stop it any time they want to collect their winnings. Or if they don't like where it is going they can pay another credit to flip another random pixel and see where that takes them.
A bank of these machines with the output echoed on big screens above the players would be a spectacular display! Seems like it would be really easy to implement too, and the only work to be done is determining a payout schedule and a minimum number of iterations required, given whatever ruleset they are using, to maintain an advantage for the house. There also will be some degree of skill involved, and what a player could do with some skills I don't know but it would be a lot of fun finding out.

When I saw this roulette setup it reminded me of the spinning saucers and mini-merry-go-rounds the Boomers left for us in the playgrounds. Some of them still worked.
So what if they set this up where the seating arrangement spun as well as the roulette wheel? Instead of a 00, there can be a progressive "You Are The Ball" jackpot detent and if your seat lines up perfectly with the jackpot you win a progressive.

As did Battleship. But here we are...
In this classic ad, a father and son are enjoying a game of Battleship, while Mom, who just did a huge line off her compact mirror and gave her daughter a little bump off the tip of her nail file so she grows up appreciating the finer things in life, goes manic washing the dishes.

I spend a few hours computing the house edge of this game. I came to 17.8%, but perhaps I misunderstand the pay tables, but that sounds awful.

It is probably in the ballpark, anytime there are these branded games the house edge is likely going to be significantly higher to cover the royalties.

It may also appears to be the case that the "extra" misses actually have positive EV, but they (of course) do not make up for the poor initial bet.
