MILYON88 Fishing Games — Stakes, Targets & Payout Logic

You open a lobby expecting reels, and instead find a cannon aimed at a school of fish drifting across the screen. That’s the fishing games category, and it runs on a different set of numbers than a slot does.

How fishing games actually work

A slot machine spins a fixed grid and resolves the whole bet in one go. A fishing game instead hands you a cannon, a shared underwater scene, and a stake attached to every shot you fire, so the pace and the payout event are both different from the start.

Format	Stake unit	Win event	Round length
Slot	per spin	matching symbols on a payline or way	one spin
Fishing game	per shot	a target’s point value converted at your stake	continuous, until you stop firing

Cheaper shots do less damage against tougher targets, while a pricier shot can down a high-value fish faster — spend scales with ambition rather than with one fixed number per round, according to a published breakdown of the format (Gambling News).

Bullet cost, target tiers and boss fish

Fish on screen are not equal, and the same industry breakdown groups them into three rough tiers by published payout multiple against the bullet cost spent:

1. Small fish — quick to hit, typically the lowest multiple of the bullet cost.
2. Mid-tier fish and crabs — tougher to land, a higher multiple than the small tier.
3. Boss creatures (whales, dragons) — the highest multiple on the paytable, but absorb far more shots before they go down, which is why they’re sometimes called bullet sponges.

The tiering is a general feature of the format rather than a MILYON88-specific number; the exact multiples for any one title sit on that title’s own paytable, opened from its info screen.

What The Fishing Game Casino Menu Covers

Inside a lobby, a fishing game casino section is usually kept apart from the slot list because the controls (cannon aim, bullet cost selector) don’t match a spin button. The MILYON88 lobby’s own menu lists these top-level categories side by side:

1. SLOT GAME
2. FISHER GAME
3. LIVE GAME
4. SPORT
5. BINGO GAME
6. CARD GAME
7. OTHER GAME

Opening the FISHER GAME tab is the direct route to whatever fishing titles are listed on a given day; this site’s games overview walks through the rest of that menu category by category.

Where JILI, CQ9 and JDB differ on fishing formats

Fishing and fish-shooting titles are not a single studio’s specialty. JILI’s fishing catalogue sits alongside its slots and table games, per the studio’s own listing; CQ9 names fishing games among its specialisms too, and JDB’s own line-up leans toward fish-shooting titles specifically rather than slots.

• JILI — fishing games sit alongside slots, table and card games, and bingo in its published specialisms.
• CQ9 Gaming — lists fishing games among slots, table games and arcade games.
• JDB Gaming — lists fish shooting games specifically, alongside slots, as its stated focus.

None of the three publishes an RTP figure for its fishing titles, the same absence recorded across their slot catalogues.

A worked example: JILI’s Mega Fishing

JILI’s Mega Fishing data on this site is a useful stand-in for how the format’s numbers actually read. JILI’s own listing gives it zero paylines, zero reels and zero rows — because none of those apply — alongside a published 950x maximum win and a special octopus-wheel feature event. No RTP is published for it, the same absence recorded across JILI’s slot titles.

Reading that page next to a slot’s spec table is the fastest way to see how differently the two formats present their numbers.

Reading the payout before you play

Before dropping a stake into any fish-shooter, the numbers worth checking sit on the title’s own info screen rather than on any comparison table. This site’s step-by-step read of how fishing games pay walks through it in three moves:

1. Read the bullet-cost range on the info screen.
2. Open the paytable and note the target tiers.
3. Check whether a feature round exists, the way JILI’s Mega Fishing lists its octopus wheel.

Skipping that step means guessing at a paytable you haven’t actually opened, which is the single most common way a bullet-cost budget runs out faster than expected.

Fishing games vs slots, side by side

The format difference is bigger than it first looks, covering pacing, skill input and how hit frequency in a fish table even gets measured. JILI, for one, publishes titles in both categories with the same disclosure gap: no RTP figure on either its slots or its fishing games. This site’s full comparison of fishing games vs slots covers stake pacing, the skill element in aiming, and where volatility reads differently between the two.

Treat the two as genuinely different products rather than reel-based cousins; the comparison page goes through exactly where that distinction matters for a session budget.

Fish shooting games, itemised

Beyond the broad format difference, a fish-shooting title is built from seven distinct mechanics worth knowing by name before you open one, from JILI’s own bullet-cost pricing through to JDB’s take on multiplayer shared screens, where more than one cannon fires at the same school of fish. This site’s breakdown of what defines a fish shooting game lists all seven, one at a time.

Getting into the FISHER GAME tab

Reaching this category takes the same two buttons as everywhere else on the lobby:

1. Log In if you already have an account, or Register first if you don’t.
2. Once inside, open the FISHER GAME tab from the lobby’s main menu.
3. Pick a title, then open its own info screen before firing a single shot.
4. Set a session budget before choosing a bullet cost, not after.

Nothing about that sequence differs from opening SLOT GAME or CARD GAME — the FISHER GAME tab sits at the same level as the rest of the menu, not behind any extra step.

What a bullet-cost budget actually protects against

A fixed session budget matters more in this format than in a slot, precisely because the spend isn’t fixed per round. Four cheap shots at a small fish and one expensive miss at a boss target — priced by some titles at 100x the bullet cost or more, per the industry breakdown cited above — can land at very different totals even though both started from the same balance.

Setting that budget before opening the title, rather than adjusting it mid-session once a boss fish looks close to going down, is the one habit that carries across every fish-shooting title regardless of studio or paytable.
