Fishing games are one of the most visually engaging categories on DM First. They are arcade-style shooting games where you control a cannon, aim at fish swimming across the screen, and fire shots. Each fish you catch adds to your wallet. Boss fish can carry high multipliers. This article covers how fishing games work, which titles are available, and how to play them on DM First.
What Are Fishing Games
A fishing game is an arcade-style shooting game. Players control a cannon at the bottom of the screen. Fish and other sea creatures swim across the screen. You aim the cannon and fire. Each shot costs a small amount from your balance. When you successfully catch a fish, you win a reward based on the fish's value multiplied by your bet per shot[reference:11].
The concept is simple, which makes fishing games attractive to all types of players. No complex rules. No card combinations. Just aim, shoot, and catch.
On DM First, fishing games are a separate category from slots, lottery, and casino. You can access them from the category bar on the home screen.
How Fishing Games Work on DM First
Step 1 – Login to DM First
Open the DM First app. Login with your registered mobile number and password.
Step 2 – Open the Fishing Section
From the home screen, tap Fishing in the category bar. You will see all available fishing games displayed as thumbnails.
Step 3 – Choose a Game
Tap any fishing game to open it. Popular titles include Jackpot Fishing, Dragon Master, One Shot Fishing, and Happy Fishing.
Step 4 – Select a Room or Hall
Most fishing games have multiple rooms or halls. These are usually labelled Beginner, Expert, or VIP. The room determines the minimum and maximum bet per shot[reference:12].
Step 5 – Set Your Bet
Use the plus and minus buttons to set your bet per shot. Each shot deducts this amount from your balance. Common bet levels start from small amounts and go up to higher values for experienced players.
Step 6 – Aim and Shoot
Tap on any fish to aim your cannon. The cannon fires automatically at the target. You can change targets at any time. Bigger fish may require multiple shots to catch[reference:13].
Step 7 – Collect Rewards
When a fish is caught, the reward is credited instantly. The reward is calculated as the fish's value multiplier × your bet per shot. For example, a fish with a 10x value and a 1 rupee bet gives a 10 rupee reward[reference:14].

Fish Types and Rewards
Fishing games feature different types of fish with different values. Understanding the tiers helps you decide what to target.
Small Fish
These are easy to catch and give low rewards. Typical multipliers are 2x, 3x, or 5x your bet per shot. They swim in groups and are useful for maintaining balance while you wait for bigger targets.
Medium Fish
These take a few more shots to catch and give medium rewards. Multipliers are typically 10x, 20x, or 50x. Examples include turtles, rays, and mid-sized fish[reference:16].
Boss Fish
Boss fish are large sea creatures like the Golden Dragon, Mega Octopus, or King Crab. They require many shots to defeat, but catching one can award a huge multiplier — 100x, 500x, or even more[reference:17].
Special Weapons and Features
Many fishing games include special weapons and bonus features that add variety to the standard shooting mechanic.
Laser cannons: Fire a continuous beam that damages fish over time. Useful for big targets.
Bombs: Damage all fish in a small area. Effective for groups of small fish.
Chains: Fire a chain that captures multiple fish at once.
Freeze: Freezes all fish on screen for a few seconds, making them easier to hit.
Special weapons are usually earned by catching specific fish or triggered randomly during play.
Fishing Game RTP and Payouts
Fishing games use random number generators for shot outcomes. The RTP (Return to Player) for Jackpot Fishing from JILI has been benchmarked at approximately 94.91%[reference:18]. This means that over many shots, about 94.91% of bets are returned as winnings.
Individual outcomes are random. There is no strategy that guarantees catching a specific fish or a specific multiplier.

Fishing games are different from other categories because they are continuous. There are no rounds or timers. You shoot when you want. The pace is entirely up to you.
Strategy Tips for Fishing Games
Fishing games are games of chance. There is no strategy that guarantees wins. But these habits improve your overall experience.
Start with a Small Bet
Set your bet per shot at the minimum. Test the game and get a feel for how often shots connect. Increase the bet only if you are comfortable.
Target Small Fish First
Small fish are easy to catch and provide frequent small rewards. This keeps your balance stable while you watch for bigger targets.
Save Special Weapons for Boss Fish
If you earn a special weapon like a laser or bomb, save it for a boss fish. The high multiplier potential makes the weapon more valuable on big targets.
Set a Session Budget
Decide before starting how much you will spend on shots. Stop when you hit the limit.
Do Not Chase a Single Fish
If a fish keeps escaping, do not keep firing at it exclusively. Move to other targets. The outcome is random — more shots do not guarantee a catch.
Withdrawing Fishing Game Winnings
Winnings from fishing games go directly into your main wallet. You can withdraw them using the standard process. The minimum withdrawal is 110 rupees. Full details are in our DM First withdrawal article.
