Fishing games mix arcade action with casino prizes. Instead of spinning reels, you aim a cannon at fish swimming across the screen and win when you catch them. This guide explains how fishing games work, the different fish and weapons, popular titles at IW99, and tips for new players.
Fishing games, also called fish shooting games or fish hunter games, started in arcades across Asia and are now hugely popular online. You control a cannon at the edge of an underwater scene. Every shot costs a set amount, and each fish you catch pays out a prize based on its value.
They feel more hands-on than pokies, because you choose where to aim, which fish to target and how much each shot costs.
Most games have rooms with different bet levels. Lower rooms suit beginners and smaller budgets.
A higher cannon level costs more per shot and pays more when you catch a fish.
Tap the screen to fire at fish. Bigger fish take more hits to catch but pay higher multipliers.
Each fish you catch pays straight into your game balance, which returns to your IW99 balance when you leave.
| Target | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Small fish | Easy to catch, small payouts |
| Medium fish | Need a few more hits, better payouts |
| Large fish | Harder to catch, high multipliers |
| Boss creatures | Rare and tough, with the biggest prizes |
| Special fish | Can trigger bombs, lasers or bonus features that catch several fish at once |
Each game has its own fish values and features. Open the game's paytable or info screen to see the exact multipliers.

Mostly luck. Aiming and choosing targets makes the game feel interactive, but whether a fish is caught on any shot is decided by the game's random system.
Yes. Fishing games work in your mobile browser and in the IW99 Android app.
Pick a game with a low bet room and simple features, and start with a low cannon level while you learn.
No. Results are random, and anyone selling a fishing game hack is running a scam.
