lb18 King of Fishing — Aim Your Cannon, Win Big Rewards
Choose your cannon level, shoot the right targets, and catch boss fish on your way to the jackpot. A complete guide on how to play King of Fishing at lb18.
How does a fishing game actually work?
Different from regular slots — your skill plays a part here
King of Fishing is an arcade-style shooting game. Your cannon sits at the bottom of the screen, and various fish and sea creatures swim across in front of you. Each shot has a fixed cost — called the "bet per bullet." The higher the cannon level, the more each shot costs, but the rewards for catching fish increase proportionally.
Not all fish are equal. Small, slow fish are easy to kill but give lower rewards. Large, fast fish require more shots but give higher rewards. There are also special targets called "bosses" — they appear large and bright on screen. Taking down a boss target offers the chance to win much higher rewards at once.
Multiple players can shoot at the same time on the same screen. The player who fires the last shot that kills a fish gets the reward. So it is not just about pulling the trigger — you need to think about where, when, and which target you are shooting at.
Choose your cannon level based on your budget
Starting at the right level lets you play for much longer
Small cannon — for beginners
Each shot costs less, so the same balance lasts much longer. Beginners can use this level to learn the rhythm of the game — which fish go where, how to aim the cannon, and which targets deserve more attention.
Medium cannon — preferred by experienced players
At a medium level, both large and medium fish can be targeted effectively. Rewards are much higher than with a small cannon, while the balance does not drain too quickly. Moving up to this level makes sense once you have some experience.
Large cannon — high risk, high reward
Each shot costs more, so the balance drops faster. However, hitting a boss target with a large cannon can produce significant rewards. Only move to this level when your balance is sufficient to handle it.
Special features in King of Fishing
Shooting alone is not enough — learn about these features
In King of Fishing, various sea creatures swim across the screen at the same time. Targets range from ordinary small fish to large sharks, octopuses, and special crab or lobster targets. Each target has a different value, which can usually be estimated from its size and colour on screen.
One of the main attractions of the game is the "King Fish" or boss target — it appears on screen large and surrounded by bright lights. Successfully taking down a boss target creates the opportunity to win rewards many times higher than usual. However, a boss target may require many shots, so you need to weigh up the cost of ammunition against the potential reward before committing.
Special events appear in the game from time to time — such as a large school of big fish appearing on screen at once. These moments offer the highest opportunity, as multiple high-value targets are available at the same time. In some versions, catching special fish grants free bullets or a multiplier, which can significantly increase the total rewards of a session.
Multiplier targets
Shooting certain special targets can multiply your reward by 2x, 3x, or more compared to normal. These targets are recognisable by their glowing effects on screen.
Group jackpot
In a multiplayer room, taking down a particular special target may give everyone in the room a partial reward. This is one of the biggest advantages of playing in a shared room.
Solo play vs shared room
See what each option offers — a comparison
| Aspect | Solo room | Shared room |
|---|---|---|
| Competition | None — all targets are yours | Yes — others are shooting too |
| Boss target opportunity | Full reward for yourself | Chance to receive a share of the group reward |
| Shot cost | Charged to your own account | The same — but someone else may finish the fish before you |
| For beginners | Good — chance to learn the rhythm | Moderate — faster-paced environment |
| Social experience | Low | High — the enjoyment of playing together |
| Strategy | Plan at your own pace | Quick decisions are needed |
If you are just starting out, it is better to begin in a solo room. Once you understand the rhythm of the game, moving to a shared room makes the experience more enjoyable. The lb18 casino section also offers a range of live and table games.
Set your targets and manage your time — practical strategies
Experienced players keep these points in mind
-
Watch the corners of the screen: Fish generally move from one side of the screen to the other. Wait at the corners — when a fish reaches a corner it turns slowly, making it comparatively easier to hit.
-
Focus on one fish at a time: Many players shoot at different fish simultaneously and end up not killing any of them. Pick one medium or large fish and keep shooting until it is down.
-
Track the fish's movement: Shooting directly at a moving fish often results in a miss. Aim slightly ahead in the direction the fish is moving — this is called lead shooting.
-
Be ready when the boss appears: There is usually a special sound or flash of light just before a boss target arrives on screen. At that moment, stop shooting at large fish and save all your shots for the boss.
-
Control your rate of fire: Rather than shooting at maximum speed continuously, shoot when a fish is directly in front of you. This reduces wasted shots.
-
Coordinate with the group: In a shared room, if you see someone has been shooting at a large fish for a while, you can add your shots to it too. The player who fires the last shot gets the most reward, but often finishing the fish quickly is the better outcome for everyone.
Mistakes to avoid
New players often fall into these traps
-
Choosing a cannon that is too large for your budget: The most common mistake is selecting the highest cannon level from the start. A large cannon costs much more per shot, so the balance runs out quickly and the session ends before any rewards are earned.
-
Shooting at all fish at once: When the screen is full of fish, many players fire in every direction. This wastes shots and results in no fish being properly killed.
-
Using a large cannon on small fish: Shooting small fish with a large cannon means the cost of the shots exceeds the reward. Use a small or medium cannon for small fish.
-
Raising your bet to chase losses: If things are not going well, suddenly increasing the cannon level to recover lost money is risky. It can make the losses worse.
-
Wasting too many shots on a boss target: Trying to take down a boss is fine, but if you notice it is taking many shots and your balance is dropping, shift your focus to smaller targets for a while.
Sticking to a budget is important when playing any arcade game, including fishing games. Arcade fishing games work differently from slot games — this is explained in the next section.
Fishing games vs slots — what is the difference?
Two completely different types of experience
Fishing game
The player actively controls the cannon. Decisions about where to shoot and which target to pick directly affect the outcome. You control the pace of the game yourself and can stop at any time. Each shot has a fixed cost, so it is easy to keep track of total spending.
Slot game
In slots, every spin works independently — the result of one spin has no effect on the next. RTP (Return to Player) is a fixed mathematical rate, and the player's actions have no direct connection to the outcome. Popular games like Gates of Olympus or Sugar Rush use a reel and multiplier system in Gates of Olympus slot, which is completely different from the mechanics of a fishing game.
The key difference is active participation. In slots, the result is determined the moment you press the spin button, whereas in a fishing game your aim and timing play a role in the outcome. That said, luck remains an important factor in both — there is no guaranteed way to win in either type of game.
