An electromechanical gaming machine that provides an entertainment game wherein a user controls the movement of a ship across a fixed plane. A user may select a gambling game that uses non-explicit triggers for wagers through the use of an entertainment software engine.

The results of the gambling event are communicated to the game world engine which then instructs the entertainment software engine to generate a display.
