Abstract: A wagering game is provided including an advancing target elimination game, which may be a base or bonus game. In this game, targets are shown to be advancing toward an objective, and the player is given selectable indicia with which to stop the targets. Each pick election may eliminate (or partially damage) a certain number and/or pattern of targets, with a credit value being awarded for each enemy eliminated. The bonus is played by taking turns between a phase of enemy target appearance and movement and a phase of player pick for enemy target elimination. These two phases alternate until an end-bonus condition is achieved.

Abstract: A graphical user interface represents a plurality of nodes in an interface as a minimum convex hull (MCH) encompassing geographic locations of the nodes. Polygons corresponding the MCHs of networks for various markets are stored for later use. Upon receiving an instruction to display a market on a map, the polygon representing the network is retrieved and rendered thereby providing a computationally inexpensive display of the extent of the network. Upon selection of the polygon, polygons for MCHs of sub-markets may be displayed. Display of a polygon for a market may be accompanied with metadata representing a status of the nodes of the network. A polygon representing a market may be shaded in order to reflect a concentration of nodes within the polygon.
