Fishing games at RMKING8: how the tables pay and how to manage ammo
Fishing games in plain terms
A fishing game is an arcade-style table seen from above. Sea creatures swim across the screen, and you aim a cannon at them. Every shot costs a fixed amount from your balance, and every creature carries a multiplier. A small fish might be worth 2x the shot, a turtle 20x, and a dragon or boss 300x or more. When a shot "catches" a creature, you win its multiplier times your shot value. The catch itself is random. Bigger targets take more hits on average before they fall.
At RMking8 the Fish lobby gathers 25 studios. The best known are Jili, JDB, CQ9, Spadegaming, Fa Chai and KA Gaming, joined by smaller Asian developers such as Dragoon Soft, FunTa Gaming and Lucky365. Popular tables include Cai Shen Fishing, Shade Dragons Fishing, Fishing Yi Lu Fa, Dragon Fishing, Happy Fishing, Jackpot Fishing and All-Star Fishing. Filters for Favorites, New Games, Hot Games, Recent Game and Fishing Machine sit above the grid.
The parts of the screen that decide your result
Cannon level
The plus and minus buttons beside your turret change the cost per shot. The payout multiplier stays the same at every level, so a higher level only scales both cost and reward. Raise it when a high-value target is on screen and drop it again for the small schools of fish.
Lock-on and auto-fire
Lock-on keeps your shots on one chosen target. Auto-fire shoots continuously. Together they are convenient, but they burn ammunition at the fastest possible rate. Set a shot or time limit first if the game offers one.
Special weapons
Many tables drop bombs, drills, laser cannons or chain-lightning crabs. These hit several targets at once. They are triggered by catching a specific creature, not bought separately, and their value is already built into the game's return.
Boss and jackpot targets
Golden dragons, giant octopuses and jackpot treasure chests appear on a timer or at random. Their multipliers are large, but so is the number of hits they absorb. Firing at a boss at a high cannon level is the quickest way to lose a session budget.
Choosing a studio
| Studio | Style | Example tables |
|---|---|---|
| Jili | Bright graphics, quick rounds, frequent mini-bosses | Happy Fishing, Jackpot Fishing, Mega Fishing, All-Star Fishing |
| JDB | Classic Chinese mythology, steady pace | Fishing Yi Lu Fa, Dragon Fishing, Cai Shen Fishing |
| CQ9 | Heavy on special weapons and chain reactions | Fishing God and other multi-weapon rooms |
| Fa Chai (FC) | Large boss events, newer engines | Rooms with timed boss waves |
| Spadegaming | Polished animation, mid-range multipliers | Spadegaming fishing rooms |
Table names and line-ups change as studios release new versions. The "New Games" filter is the quickest way to see what has arrived since your last visit.
A simple ammo plan
The easiest way to stay in control is to count shots, not ringgit:
- Pick a session budget, for example MYR 50.
- Choose a cannon level that gives at least 250 shots from that budget (MYR 0.20 per shot in this example).
- Spend the first 50 shots on small fish to learn how the table pays and how often specials drop.
- Only raise the level when a boss appears, and agree with yourself in advance how many shots you will spend on it.
- Stop at the budget or at a target, such as doubling the starting balance, whichever comes first.
Fishing results are random. No pattern, seat position or time of day makes a catch more likely, and no plan removes the house edge.
Promotions that work with fishing
- Registration gift: 30 free spins plus a red packet of up to MYR 108 for slots and fishing games. It is credited to the Reward Center within 12 hours after you verify your phone and bind a bank or e-wallet account. Turnover is 15x, the gift must be claimed within three days, and you need to make a deposit before any withdrawal.
- Daily rebate: 0.60% for new members, then 0.65% at VIP 2, 0.70% at VIP 3, and so on up to 1% at VIP 8.
- Referral commission: friends you invite earn you a lifetime 0.30% of their slot and fishing turnover, on top of the MYR 88 referral bonus.
- Daily red packets: any member who tops up that day counts as active and can open one random red packet from the MYR 1,000,000 daily pool.
The slot-specific offers (the 250% welcome, Slot Value Packs and Slot Rescue) are limited to slot games, so fishing bets do not clear their turnover. Check the promotions page for the current tables.
Fishing or slots: which suits you?
| Fishing games | Slots | |
|---|---|---|
| Control | You choose targets, timing and cannon level every second | You choose the stake and press spin |
| Session speed | Several shots per second when firing continuously | One spin every 2–3 seconds |
| Social | Shared rooms with up to four players | Solo |
| Bonuses | Sign-up gift, rebate, referral commission | Welcome tiers, Value Packs, Rescue, free spins |
| Top rebate | 1% (VIP 8) | 1.2% (VIP 8) |
If you like to stay active and play with friends, fishing fits better. If you mainly want to use bonuses, the slot lobby has more offers.
Your first fishing session
Open the Fish lobby, filter by "Hot Games" and choose a table from a studio you recognise. Enter a room at the lowest stake, switch off auto-fire, and spend a few minutes just watching which creatures carry which multipliers. The paytable icon (usually a fish or "i" symbol) lists them. Then follow the ammo plan above. If you prefer something slower, the card tables in the poker lobby or the classic three-reel slots use the same wallet.
Frequently asked questions
Are fishing games skill-based?
Partly. You choose targets, cannon level and timing, but whether a hit catches a target is decided by the game's random number generator. Skill helps you manage your ammo budget; it does not beat the built-in house edge.
Do fishing bets count towards the slot welcome bonus?
The welcome table lists 'All Slots' only. Fishing bets earn their own rebate, and the registration gift of up to MYR 108 can be used on both slots and fishing games.
What is the fishing rebate?
0.60% of valid turnover for new members, rising to 1% at VIP 8, paid daily at 1x turnover.
Why does my balance drop so fast on high cannon levels?
Each shot costs the cannon's value whether it catches anything or not. Level 10 costs ten times level 1, so a minute of rapid fire can cost hundreds of shots. Use auto-fire only with a fixed shot limit.
Can I play fishing games with friends?
Many fishing rooms seat up to four players who see the same fish. Each player's catches are calculated separately, so another player's big catch never reduces yours.
