Step 1: Choose your room

Most fishing games offer rooms by bet level. Beginners should always pick the lowest room. If you're unsure what kind of game you like, browse the fishing games lobby.

Step 2: Set your cannon level

Use the + and – buttons to change your bet per shot. Keep each shot at about 1% of your session budget. Our peso budget plans do the math for you.

Step 3: Aim and fire

Tap where you want to shoot. Bullets bounce off walls in many games. Aim at groups of fish for better coverage, and learn the pay values in Fish Multipliers Explained.

Step 4: Use special weapons wisely

Bomb crabs, lasers and drills hit many fish at once. Save them for crowded screens. More tactics are in our 12 strategy tips.

Step 5: Collect and stop on plan

Your balance updates instantly. Stop when you hit your win goal or loss limit, not when you "feel" a boss is coming. That feeling is the gambler's fallacy.
