DeeSpin Fishing Games

What fishing games does DeeSpin have?

DeeSpin has fish shooting games from three sources: JILI, whose section held 15 fishing titles at our last check, a DGS section, and a JDB Fish section. Jackpot Fishing 2 from JILI and DGS titles such as Ninja Fishing, Dragon Palace Fishing and Dino Hunter were in the lobby.

Fish games sit outside the main pokies menu, so they are easy to miss in the DeeSpin slots lobby. JILI files them as their own category next to its 177 slots, 82 casino games and 19 card games. Most pages ranking for fish games online are written for US sweepstakes "fish tables"; this one covers the real-money versions in a DeeSpin account, played in AU$ from the same balance as everything else.

How do fish shooting games work?

You choose a cannon value, which is the cost of each shot, and fire at fish crossing the screen. Each fish carries a multiplier; when a shot captures it, you win your shot value times that multiplier. Bigger fish and bosses pay more and take more shots to land.

The capture itself is decided by the game's random number generator, so aiming chooses which fish you try for, not whether a given shot succeeds. That is the point the US "skill game" pages tend to blur. Holding the fire button for a minute at AU$1 a shot is a AU$60 minute, whatever the screen shows. Special weapons, bombs and boss rounds change how a win is paid out, but every shot still costs its stake.

What does JILI publish about its fish games?

JILI's site lists maximum wins and features for its fishing titles but no RTP figures. Jackpot Fishing 2 shows a max win of 4,800x, Royal Fishing a multiplier wheel up to 350x, and the original Jackpot Fishing random extra 5x multipliers after a capture.

Figures come from the game pages on jiligames.com. JILI does not print an RTP for these titles there, so open each game's info or help screen at DeeSpin to see the stated return before playing for money.

What are the DGS fish games?

The DGS section at DeeSpin holds fish shooters with mythology and dinosaur themes: Ninja Fishing, Dragon Palace Fishing, Gods Slash Fish, Dino Hunter, 3 Gods Fishing and Ocean Lord were all in the lobby at our check.

We could not find official game sheets for these titles with RTP or maximum win figures, so we do not quote any. The rules, fish values and any boss multipliers are shown in each game's help screen. The same applies to the JDB Fish section: open a game, read the paytable for fish values and weapon costs, and only then set a cannon value.

Why do big fish and bosses take so many shots?

Because the payout and the capture chance move in opposite directions. A small fish with a low multiplier is captured often; a boss with a large multiplier is captured rarely, so the shots spent chasing it are part of its price.

This is where fish games feel different from pokies even though the maths is similar. On a slot, a losing spin is over in a second. In a fish game, twenty misses on the same boss feel like progress, as if the fish were wearing down, when each shot is a separate draw. Animations and sound effects on big targets strengthen that feeling. The help screen of each title states how captures and multipliers are settled, and it is worth reading before chasing the largest target on screen.

Fish shooting games compared with pokies

Fish games and pokies both run on random number generators, but they spend money in different ways.

How should you set a budget for fish games?

Start from the cannon value and the number of shots, not the time on screen. A AU$20 balance at AU$0.20 a shot is 100 shots, which auto-fire can use in well under a minute.

Turn auto-fire off while you learn which fish pay what, and use single shots at the lowest cannon value for the first round. Deposits start at AU$10 (AU$5 on one PayID channel) and withdrawals at AU$30 to your linked bank account; the payments page lists each method. Current promotions and their slot-only rule are on the bonus calendar.

Which DeeSpin games are close to fish shooters?

The closest cousins are JILI's own pokies, which share the studio and the AU$ balance. The DeeSpin slots hub compares every studio section; the Fortune Gems page and the Boxing King page cover JILI's best-known slots; and the Habanero page explains a studio with very different volatility profiles. If a quick fish session keeps turning into a long one, the responsible gambling page lists Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 and BetStop.
