How fishing games pay, shot by shot
A fishing game looks like an arcade shooter, but every shot is a bet. Three numbers decide what happens to a balance: the bet per shot, the multiplier of each fish that is caught, and how many shots are fired.
Updated 12 November 2026
The bet per shot and the fish multiplier
The cannon level is the bet per shot. It comes off the balance every time the cannon fires, whether the shot catches anything or not. A caught fish returns its multiplier times the bet per shot.
| One shot at a bet of 0.10 | Returned | Change to balance |
|---|---|---|
| Misses, or hits without a catch | 0 | −0.10 |
| Catches a fish listed at 2x | 0.20 | +0.10 |
| Catches a fish listed at 50x | 5.00 | +4.90 |
Small fish carry low multipliers and fall to fewer shots; large fish and bosses carry high multipliers and soak up more. Each title's paytable lists the value of every fish.
Bosses, wheels and bonus fish
Beyond the ordinary fish, titles add special targets and features. JILI's own game pages describe these four, all in the MEGA63 lobby:
| Title (JILI) | Special target or feature | Figure JILI lists |
|---|---|---|
| Royal Fishing | Defeating the ultimate boss can start a multiplier wheel | Wheel up to 350x |
| Dinosaur Tycoon | Flying Dragon Wheel | Top win 1,500x |
| Boom Legend | Furious Octopus and Cerberus Wheel | Top win 1,400x |
| All-star Fishing | A multiplier that climbs as the player taps the screen, and a Mystery Box that can multiply the win again | Multiplier up to 999x |
A top figure is the most a single catch or feature can pay. It says nothing about what a session returns.
Special weapons
Some titles add weapons that change how a shot reaches its target. JILI describes Bombing Fishing like this: one bullet type targets fish on the first layer and another aims at creatures on the second layer; a player can catch a fish or drop a bomb; Gold Bullets and locking torpedoes are part of the arsenal; and a boss may cross the fishing ground. JILI lists a Bounty Game feature and a top win of 1,200x.
Which studios lean on fishing games
Studios tag their own titles. In the MEGA63 lobby export of 28 October 2026, 124 titles from 11 studios carry a fishing tag. For some studios fishing is a large slice of their lobby; for others it is a handful of titles:
| Studio | Fishing titles | Share of the studio's lobby |
|---|---|---|
| VPower | 29 | 21% |
| Acewin | 13 | 17% |
| Iconic Gaming | 10 | 15% |
| VPlus | 17 | 12% |
| YGR | 10 | 9% |
| Fa Chai | 6 | 8% |
| Joker | 15 | 6% |
| JILI | 16 | 5% |
| AMB | 2 | 3% |
| CQ9 | 5 | 2% |
| NextSpin | 1 | 1% |
The titles each studio lists are on the fishing games and 4D page on mega63official.com.
Keeping track of the spend
Each shot is charged as it is fired, so spending in a fishing game follows the number of shots, not the number of rounds. Two habits keep it visible: pick the bet per shot as a small share of the budget before starting, and check the balance after a set number of shots rather than after each catch.

Questions
How do fishing games pay?
Every shot is charged at the cannon's bet level. A catch returns the fish's multiplier times that bet; bosses and special fish can start a wheel or a feature with larger multipliers, as the paytable lists.
Does a missed shot cost money?
Yes. The bet per shot comes off the balance when the cannon fires, whether or not the shot catches a fish.
What does a boss fish do?
A boss is a high-value target that takes more shots to catch. In JILI's Royal Fishing, defeating the ultimate boss can start a multiplier wheel of up to 350x.
What is the highest multiplier in a fishing game?
It depends on the title. JILI lists a top win of 1,500x for Dinosaur Tycoon, 1,400x for Boom Legend and 1,200x for Bombing Fishing. A top win is a cap, not an expected result.
