Jili99: Fishing Casino Arcade Game Basics, Explained

A fishing casino arcade game asks a different question than a slot does. Instead of paying for a spin across a fixed set of paylines, you pay for a single shot at a single target, and the shot rate — not the spin rate — sets the pace of play. Jili99 covers one title built this way, JILI’s Mega Fishing, and PAGCOR’s own approvals list groups the whole format as ARCADE-TYPE. This page works through what changes about the maths, then links to the specific questions that format raises.

What a Fishing Casino Arcade Game Actually Is

A fishing casino arcade game trades the reel grid for a screen of moving targets and a cannon. Three things change at once:

1. A slot’s stake buys one spin across a fixed number of paylines; a fishing casino arcade game’s stake buys one shot at one target, and you choose how often to fire.
2. A slot’s paytable is symbol-based; here, each target on screen carries its own value, and that value lives on the game’s own info screen rather than in a printed paytable grid.
3. A slot spins to a stop on its own; a fishing round runs continuously until you stop firing or cash out, so time in the seat — not spins taken — is what the session tracks.

Within Jili99’s slice, Dragon Treasure is the only other title built outside the reel-and-payline shape. Reading the Dragon Treasure figures alongside Mega Fishing’s shows how differently two non-slot JILI titles can still be built.

Fish Shooting Game vs. Slot: The Core Difference

JILI’s own listing describes Mega Fishing’s format as a fish-shooter arcade game, and that label is the clearest way to separate a fish shooting game from a slot. A slot resolves in one spin; a fish shooting game resolves shot by shot, target by target, for as long as you keep firing. Volatility, in this shape, comes from target values and hit rate rather than from a payline count — the volatility glossary entry covers how that term is used across both formats.

How the Bullet Value Sets Your Real Hourly Stake

A per-spin stake sits right on a slot’s bet selector, so the cost of an hour’s play is easy to estimate before you start. A fishing casino arcade game works differently: your real hourly stake depends on the bullet value you pick and how fast you fire, and neither figure is printed on this page.

Problem: there is no single “cost per shot” that applies across every fishing title.

Fix: open the game’s own info screen before you fire, where the bullet-value tiers and your own rate of fire are both visible. The arithmetic is one line — bullet value multiplied by shots per minute multiplied by 60 — and at a modest 30 shots per minute it means an hour of play stakes 1,800 bullets, not 600 spins — the fishing game bullet cost walkthrough goes through exactly where to look and how to turn that into an hourly figure.

Fishing Game Online: What Actually Changes on Screen

Play a fishing game online and the layout itself tells you the format has changed: a cannon or turret sits at the bottom of the screen, targets move across it, and a bullet-value selector replaces the bet-per-line control a slot would show. Nothing about that layout is unique to one studio or one site — it is the fish-shooter format’s own shape, and it holds regardless of where you’re playing it.

Where a Fishing Game’s Payout Odds Come From

A slot’s return figure is usually a single published RTP percentage. A fishing casino arcade game has no such single number to quote, because a target’s payout is tied to the target itself rather than to a spin outcome. JILI publishes no RTP for Mega Fishing, the one title in this site’s slice, and PAGCOR’s EGLD list carries no RTP column for any of its 35 ARCADE-TYPE entries either. The fishing game payout odds page is where this site works through what is and is not published about that, alongside how house edge works once it applies once bullet cost and target value are both known.

PAGCOR’s Arcade-Type Category, by the Numbers

PAGCOR’s “List of EGLD-approved Electronic Games as of May 19, 2026,” read from the JILI application kit on 2026-09-22, sorts every approved title into one of five types:

PAGCOR type	Entries
SLOT	123
TABLE	38
ARCADE-TYPE	35
eBINGO	13
NUMERIC	7
Total	216

Fishing titles sit inside ARCADE-TYPE, which is the third-largest category on the list — smaller than SLOT and TABLE, but larger than eBINGO or NUMERIC.

A Fishing Session Priced Against a Slot Session

The clearest way to see what a per-shot stake does is to put the two side by side at the same money.

	Slot spin	Fishing shot
Unit of play	One spin	One shot
Units per minute	Roughly 10 at a steady pace	60 or more when firing continuously
Stake control	Bet per spin	Bullet value, multiplied by fire rate
Result per unit	Resolved before the next unit	Often unresolved — a fish may take many shots

The third row is the one that catches people. A slot’s bet-per-spin is the whole of the decision; a fishing game’s bullet value is only half of it, because the fire rate multiplies it. Doubling the bullet value and holding the trigger down are not two separate choices, they compound.

The fourth row is the other half. A spin resolves; a shot may not, and a fish that absorbs twenty shots before paying has taken twenty stakes to return one result.

Mega Fishing (JILI): The One Fishing Title in This Slice

PAGCOR’s list carries Mega Fishing under its own game ID and version, alongside the figures JILI itself publishes for it:

Figure	Value	Source
PAGCOR type	ARCADE-TYPE	PAGCOR EGLD list
PAGCOR game ID	74	PAGCOR EGLD list
PAGCOR version	1	PAGCOR EGLD list
Maximum win	950x	JILI
Paylines	0	JILI
RTP	Not published	JILI

JILI names a special octopus wheel as the title’s feature event — the one moment in a session where Mega Fishing departs from plain shot-by-shot play. Full detail on that title, including how the feature fits into a session, is on the Mega Fishing page itself.

JILI Fishing Games on PAGCOR’s List, and Where to Play Them

PAGCOR’s list carries five more JILI fishing games besides Mega Fishing, all typed ARCADE-TYPE:

1. Royal Fishing — game ID 1
2. Happy Fishing — game ID 82
3. Jackpot Fishing — game ID 32
4. Bombing Fishing — game ID 20
5. All Star Fishing — game ID 119

Those five are exactly what PAGCOR’s list says about them and nothing more — game ID, version and type, never a claim about which casino carries them. This site does not carry a page for any of them, and none is part of Jili99’s covered slice; reading them into a broader claim about JILI’s fishing lineup would be over-reading a list built to certify games, not to describe any one operator’s lobby.

For the titles this site does cover, the JILI games hub lists all twelve by PAGCOR type and maximum win, and the arcade games casino page walks through how the arcade format compares against the six other shapes a casino game can take.
