Understanding Return Rates & Game Selection
RTP (Return to Player) is the percentage of all wagered money that a fishing game will pay back to players over time. If a game has 97% RTP, for every RM100 wagered across all players, RM97 is returned as winnings—the casino keeps RM3 as profit.
Understanding RTP helps you choose fishing games that offer better long-term value. While short-term results vary wildly, higher RTP games mathematically return more money over thousands of shots.

| Bombing Fishing | JILI | 96.5% | 500x | Medium |

Yes! A game might let you catch fish frequently (high hit rate), but if each catch pays only small amounts, the RTP can still be low. Conversely, a game with rare catches (low hit rate) can have high RTP if those catches pay big multipliers.
Volatility (also called variance) describes how winnings are distributed:
Frequent small wins. Bankroll stays stable. Fewer big swings.
Example: Paradise Fishing
Best for: Longer sessions, smaller budgets
Mix of small and medium wins. Balanced gameplay.
Example: Fishing God, Bombing Fishing
Best for: Most players
Rare but big wins. Bankroll swings wildly. Jackpot potential.
Example: Dinosaur Tycoon, Mega Fishing
Best for: Bigger budgets, jackpot hunters
Choose games with 97% RTP or higher: Jackpot Fishing, Fishing God, Fishing War. These return more money over time.
Choose low volatility games like Paradise Fishing. Your bankroll lasts longer, even if jackpots are smaller.
Choose high volatility games like Dinosaur Tycoon (1500x) or Mega Fishing (1000x). Accept that you'll lose more often, but wins are bigger.
Start with medium volatility, high RTP games like Fishing God. Good balance of fun and fair returns while you learn.
RTP (Return to Player) is the percentage of wagered money a fishing game returns to players over time. A 97% RTP means for every RM100 wagered, RM97 is returned on average.
JILI Jackpot Fishing and Spadegaming Fishing God both offer around 97% RTP, among the highest in the fishing game category.
No. RTP is long-term return percentage. Hit rate is how often you catch fish. A game can have high hit rate but low RTP if catches pay small amounts.
Partially. While base RTP is fixed, skilled players who target efficiently, manage bankroll well, and time special weapons effectively can perform better than the theoretical RTP over their sessions.
