Mega Fishing Review
Mega Fishing is a fish-shooting game, not a slot. You fire at fish swimming across the screen, every shot costs your bet, and a fish you catch pays its multiplier. The biggest target, the Mega Octopus, pays up to 950× through a bonus wheel.
About the game
JILI makes the game and sells it under its TaDa Gaming brand; TaDa dates it 20 January 2021. It's one of the most played fishing games, and it sits in the same top-100 lists as the big slots.
Fishing games work differently from slots. There are no reels. Several players can sit at the same table, and you choose what to shoot at. Each shot costs your bet, and whether a fish is caught is decided by the game.
Mega Fishing Features
Rooms and bets
You pick one of three rooms: Newbie Room with bets from 0.1 to 10, Joy Room from 1 to 100, and Honor Room from 10 to 100. You can change the bet with the + and – buttons next to your cannon.
Special weapons
The torpedo costs 6× the bet per shot and has a higher chance to kill a fish. The railgun costs 15× the bet; after a kill it can set off chain lightning, and if the killed fish is a Drill Crab you get its maximum multiplier.
Free Thunderbolt
Shooting fills an energy meter. When it's full you can call a thunderbolt that hits a large area for free. The energy is converted according to your bets, and it's cleared if you leave the game or are disconnected for 24 hours.
Special fish and bosses
The starfish makes a whirlpool, the Bomb Crab throws 3 bombs and the Drill Crab drops a drill you can aim. Each can catch other fish caught in the effect.
Immortal bosses such as Jaws and the Giant Anglerfish keep paying while you hit them, until they swim away. The Giant Crocodile wakes up after it's killed and attacks other fish. The Mega Octopus starts a wheel; a golden wheel symbol leads to a second wheel worth up to 950×.
Multipliers
The paytable in the game lists these multipliers of your bet:
| Target | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Normal fish | 2× to 25× |
| Golden goldfish, clownfish, jellyfish, manta ray | 40×, 45×, 50×, 55× |
| Starfish, Bomb Crab, Drill Crab | 60×, 70×, 50–80× |
| Huge clownfish, angelfish, pufferfish | 20–35×, or 100–175× with the 5× super prize |
| Jaws | 60–120× |
| Giant Anglerfish | 80–320× |
| Gem Turtle | 50–70×, or 400–560× with the 8× super prize |
| Giant Crocodile | 150–600× |
| Mega Octopus | 100–950× |
Huge prize fish can also give a 5× super prize, and after one special fish is killed you can win several times in a row.
Auto and aim
Auto Fishing lets you pick a list of fish to shoot automatically. Aim locks on to one fish and ignores the others, which helps when you want to concentrate on a boss.
RTP and risk
TaDa Gaming lists an RTP of 97% and says the volatility goes from low to medium depending on which fish you target. In fishing games your results depend on what you shoot at and how many shots you spend; big targets take many shots and can swim away. Watch your balance closely, because the special weapons use it fast.
