How a shot turns into a payout
Every fishing game follows the same basic formula: payout = cannon value × target multiplier. A small fish might be worth 2x, a turtle 10x, a dragon or golden boss 100x to 1,000x. The game decides whether each shot catches its target with a random roll weighted by the multiplier, so high-value targets take many more shots on average.
| Target type | Typical multiplier | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Small fish | 2x to 5x | Frequent small returns that slow the drain on your balance |
| Mid-size fish | 8x to 30x | Steady targets; most session results come from these |
| Boss or special targets | 50x to 1,000x | Rare catches that need many shots; group fire shares the effort but each player is paid separately |
| Bomb or chain items | Varies | Clear several targets at once; payout is the sum of what they catch |
Exact multipliers differ by game and are listed in the paytable. Check it before the first shot; it is the only reliable source.
Cannon levels and budgeting
Because you fire many shots per minute, shot cost adds up faster than it feels. At MYR 0.50 per shot and two shots a second, one minute of continuous firing costs MYR 60 before any catches come back. A simple rule keeps sessions sane:
- Choose a cannon value no higher than 0.5% of the session budget.
- Turn off auto-fire or set it to target only mid-size fish, not every swimmer on screen.
- Raise the cannon only for a specific target, then drop it again.
- Check the balance every few minutes rather than watching the screen only.
Weapons, locks and power-ups
- Lock-on: keeps your shots on one chosen target until it is caught or leaves the screen.
- Laser or drill cannons: special weapons won during play that hit everything in a line for a limited time.
- Free shots or frenzy rounds: short periods where shots cost nothing or catch rates rise, triggered by specific targets.
These features change the excitement more than the long-run return. The overall RTP, usually listed in the help screen, still applies across all shots.
Fishing and K138 promotions
Fishing titles are arcade-type products. On K138 that category can be excluded from rebate and from slot bonus rollover, so do not assume your 0.8% slot rebate applies here. The safest approach is to play fishing with your own funds rather than bonus money, or to confirm with live chat before using a bonus. Current offers are listed on the promotions page.
Steps before your first shot
- Transfer funds into the wallet used by the fishing studio you picked.
- Join a room whose minimum cannon fits your budget; rooms are usually grouped by stake.
- Open the paytable and note the multipliers for the targets you plan to chase.
- Set the cannon to its lowest value and fire a few shots to learn the controls.
- Decide your stop point in advance and leave the room when you reach it.
If you enjoy fast decisions but want even shorter rounds, compare with the crash games; if you prefer longer sessions at a slower pace, the slot lobby may suit you better.
Choosing a room and a target strategy
Fishing lobbies are split into rooms by cannon range, often labelled beginner, intermediate and VIP. The room decides the minimum and maximum shot cost, and therefore how fast your balance moves.
| Room type | Typical cannon range | Suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Smallest shots available | Learning targets and controls |
| Intermediate | Mid-range shots | Players with a set session budget |
| High-stake | Large shots | Only for bankrolls hundreds of times the shot cost |
Steady or boss-hunting?
A steady approach aims at small and mid-size fish, which return often and keep the balance moving slowly. Boss hunting concentrates shots on one high-multiplier target, which produces long losing stretches and occasional large wins. Neither changes the game's long-run return, but the steady approach makes a budget last longer and is easier to stop at a planned point.
Multiplayer tables
When several players fire at the same boss, only the player whose shot catches it is paid. Shots from other players do not "weaken" the target for you; each shot is a separate random roll. Joining a crowded table to finish a boss others have been shooting at offers no special advantage.
Disconnections
If your connection drops mid-session, most studios settle shots already fired and return any unused balance to the wallet. Reopen the game once and check your history before contacting support with the room name and time.
Frequently asked questions
How do fishing games pay on K138?
Each shot costs the cannon value you select. When a target is caught you are paid the cannon value multiplied by that target's multiplier, which is shown in the game's paytable.
Is a bigger cannon more likely to catch a fish?
In most fishing games a higher cannon raises the payout of a catch, not the catch probability. Some titles add power-ups that change hit rates for a short time; the help screen explains each one.
Which fishing studio should I try first?
Start with a studio whose minimum cannon is small compared with your budget. JILI, Spadegaming and FastSpin all offer low entry cannons and clear paytables.
Can I play fishing games with friends?
Many tables are multiplayer, with up to four players shooting at the same school of fish. Each player's shots and payouts are settled separately.
Do fishing games count towards slot bonuses?
Fishing titles are arcade-type games and are often excluded from slot bonus rollover and from rebate. Read the eligible-game list in the bonus terms or ask live chat before you use bonus money here.
