Glossary — Fishing Game, Slot & Payment Terms Explained

Fishing Game Terms

• Fishing shooter — an arcade-style game where you fire a cannon at fish for multiplier payouts instead of spinning reels.
• Bet-per-shot — the coin value deducted every time you fire, whether or not the shot lands a kill.
• Multiplier fish — a target that pays your bet times its shown multiplier when defeated.
• Boss fish — a large, high-value creature (like Mega Fishing's giant octopus) that takes many shots but pays big and can trigger bonuses.
• Special weapon — power-ups such as chain lightning, drills or bombs that strike multiple fish at once.
• Progressive jackpot — a growing prize pool, seen in Jackpot Fishing's four jackpots, that any qualifying shot can win.

Odds & Maths Terms

• RTP (Return to Player) — the long-run percentage of wagers a game returns; Mega Fishing and Jackpot Fishing publish 97.00%.
• House edge — the flip side of RTP; a 97% game keeps 3% on average over the long run.
• Volatility (variance) — how a game's wins are distributed: low means often-and-small, high means rare-and-big.
• RNG (Random Number Generator) — the certified software that makes each shot and spin independent and unpredictable.
• Max win — the largest multiplier a single round can pay, such as 950× on Mega Fishing.
• Independent events — the fact that past results never change the odds of the next shot or spin.

Payments & Account Terms

Safer-Play Terms

• Deposit limit — a daily, weekly or monthly cap you set on how much you can add.
• Loss limit — a cap on how much you are willing to lose in a period.
• Reality check — a periodic reminder of how long you have been playing.
• Self-exclusion — a tool that locks your account for a chosen period when you need a break.
• PAGCOR — the Philippine government regulator that licenses and oversees legal online gaming; minimum age 21.
