JL86 JILI Fishing Games Guide: Mega Fishing and Royal Fishing
Fishing games sit somewhere between an arcade and a slot, so they deserve a calm explanation. This page in the JL86 reading nook covers how they work and how to keep spending sensible.
What fishing games are
In a fishing arcade game, you control a cannon at the bottom of the screen and fire at fish swimming across it. Each shot costs a bet, and hitting a fish can return a multiple of that bet. Bigger or rarer targets tend to carry bigger multipliers.
There is a skill-flavoured feel because you choose targets and timing, but the outcome of each hit still relies on chance. Treat any sense of mastery with caution.
How they work
- Aim: move the cannon and pick which fish to target; fast small fish and slow large ones behave differently.
- Bet size: each shot is charged at the level you select, and higher levels can raise both cost and potential return.
- Multipliers: each fish type has a listed value, usually shown in the game's help screen.
- Special items: some titles include power-ups, bombs or boss fish with their own rules.
- Rounds are continuous, so the balance can drop quickly if you fire without pausing.
Check the in-game help for the version you open, because features differ between titles and operators.

Bankroll tips
- Set a budget for the session before opening the game and treat it as the price of the entertainment.
- Pick a low bet level first; fast shooting can drain a balance faster than a slot spin.
- Pause every so often, because the constant action hides how much has been spent.
- Do not raise bet size to chase a loss.
- Stop at your time limit or budget limit, whichever arrives first.
There is no aiming technique that removes the house edge. If you feel pressure to keep playing, NCMH 1553 offers free, confidential support.
