Fishing Game Tips: How to Play Fish Shooting Games Smarter

Published 24 October 2026 · Fishing

Fishing games – also called fish shooting or fish hunter games – are some of the most popular arcade-style casino games in Malaysia. They are fast, colourful and feel more hands-on than slots. Here is how they work and how to play them smarter.

How Fishing Games Work

Choose a room. Rooms usually have different minimum and maximum cannon levels.
Set your cannon level. This is your bet per shot.
Aim and shoot. Each shot costs credits.
Catch a fish to win. Every fish has a multiplier. When you catch it, you win multiplier × cannon level.

Small fish have low multipliers (for example 2x–5x) and are easy to catch. Big fish and bosses have high multipliers (50x, 100x or more) but usually need many hits.

Each shot has a random chance to catch the fish. A fish that has been hit many times is not “almost dead” – every shot is a fresh chance.

Know the Targets

Target	Typical multiplier	Hits needed	Best for
Small fish	Low	Few	Steady, small wins
Medium fish	Medium	Some	Balanced play
Big fish / sharks	High	Many	Bigger wins, more risk
Boss / special fish	Very high	Many	Big moments, high risk

Tips to Play Smarter

1. Pick a cannon level that fits your budget

Divide your session budget by the cannon level. Aim for at least 200–300 shots. If you only get 50 shots, the cannon level is too high for your budget.

2. Warm up on small and medium fish

Small fish help you learn the game’s speed and how targets move. Switch to bigger targets once you are comfortable.

3. Don’t chase one boss forever

It is easy to keep firing at a boss because “it must be close”. It isn’t – each shot is independent. Set a limit, for example 20 shots per boss, then move on.

4. Use special weapons when crowds appear

Many fishing games have bombs, lasers, drills or lightning that hit several fish at once. They are most valuable when lots of fish are on screen.

5. Watch the auto-fire

Auto-fire is convenient but spends credits fast. Use it with a clear stop point, or switch to manual shots on big targets.

6. Set win and loss limits

Fishing games move quickly. Decide before you start:

Loss limit – stop when you have spent this amount.
Win goal – if you reach it, cash out part of your balance.

7. Take breaks

Short sessions keep it fun and help you stay in control.

Fishing Game Myths

“The boss is ready to die.” Previous hits don’t increase your next shot’s chance.
“Shooting from the corner is better.” Your position doesn’t change the odds.
“Fast shooting wins more.” It only spends credits faster.

Quick Checklist

Choose a room and cannon level that gives you 200+ shots.
Learn on small and medium fish first.
Limit shots on any single boss.
Save special weapons for crowded screens.
Set a loss limit and a win goal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are fishing games based on skill or luck?

Mostly luck. Every shot has a random chance to catch a fish. Your choices – which targets to shoot and what cannon level to use – affect how fast you spend credits, not the underlying odds.

Which fish should beginners aim for?

Start with small and medium fish. They need fewer hits and help you learn the pace of the game before you try for big multipliers.

What cannon level should I use?

Use a level that lets you take at least 200–300 shots with your budget. Higher levels win more per catch but drain your balance faster.
