ARCADE GAME BASICS

What Are Online Fishing Games?

Online fishing games are arcade-style games that display moving targets across an interactive screen. Players use the available controls to select targets and perform actions using an account balance.

The cost of an action can depend on the selected control, weapon or power level. Targets can also display different values, behaviours or feature conditions according to the individual title.

Fishing games do not use the same format as traditional online pokies. Instead of reel spins and paylines, the experience is based on moving targets, player-controlled actions and game-specific arcade features.

PLAYER CONTROLS

Common Online Fishing Game Controls

Control names and functions can differ. Review the information screen before selecting a level or using the account balance.

02 ACTION LEVEL

Weapon or Power Setting

A selectable level can affect the cost of each action. A higher setting does not guarantee that a target will produce a successful result.

  • Different levels may be available
  • Action cost can change
  • Balance can decrease more quickly
  • Higher cost does not guarantee success
03 REPEATED ACTION

Automatic or Continuous Control

Some formats may include a repeated-action option. This can use the account balance quickly and should only be activated after checking the selected cost.

  • Actions may repeat automatically
  • Selected level remains important
  • Balance should be monitored
  • Stop controls should be identified first
04 SPECIAL MECHANIC

Special Weapons or Features

A title may include special actions, collected items, multipliers, temporary effects or feature-based controls.

  • Feature triggers can vary
  • Special controls may be temporary
  • Collected values may be included
  • Full rules should be reviewed
TARGET INFORMATION

Understanding Target Values and Features

On-screen size, visual effects and displayed values can help identify different target types, but they do not guarantee a successful result.

01

Standard Targets

Common moving targets can use different displayed values or behaviours.

02

Higher-Value Targets

Larger or highlighted targets may use different values and conditions.

03

Feature Targets

Selected targets may activate a temporary effect or additional feature.

04

Collected Items

Some formats may track symbols, items, values or feature progress.

05

Boss-Style Targets

A prominent target can have separate conditions but is never guaranteed.

06

Temporary Events

Visual effects or special rounds may operate for a limited period.

BEFORE USING A BALANCE

What to Check Before Starting a Fishing Game

Review the control, room and account information before using repeated actions or a higher control level.

01

Action Cost

Check how much of the balance is used by the current control level.

02

Available Controls

Identify targeting, level adjustment, automatic action and stop controls.

03

Target Information

Review displayed values, feature symbols and special target conditions.

04

Room Limits

Check the displayed minimum, maximum or room-level requirements.

05

Promotion Eligibility

Confirm whether the activity contributes to the current offer.

06

Session Budget

Set the spending and time limit before using repeated actions.

ROOM STATUS & CONNECTION

Shared Rooms and Connection Stability

Some arcade fishing formats may display shared-room activity or other participants. Room capacity, available seats, current activity and interaction vary according to the individual title.

If the screen freezes or an action appears delayed, do not immediately repeat the same action. Check the account balance and recent activity first, reconnect through the current website navigation and contact livechat when the result remains unclear.

PROMOTION ELIGIBILITY

Do Fishing Games Count Toward Promotions?

Not automatically. Fishing games, selected features or specific activity may be excluded from a promotion or may contribute differently from slots and other game categories.

Review the active offer before using bonus credit. Check the minimum deposit, turnover, eligible activity, expiry and maximum-withdrawal conditions.

DEVICE COMPATIBILITY

Fishing Game Information Across Devices

SANDS33 pages are designed for compatible mobile phones, tablets and desktop devices. Game performance can vary according to the browser, device memory, screen size and internet connection.

SANDS33 ACCOUNT ACCESS

Register, Log In or Contact Support

Create an account, access current account information or contact livechat when assistance is required with availability, controls, balances, promotions or an unclear result.

18+ RESPONSIBLE PLAY

Monitor Repeated Actions and Session Spending

Fishing games can use repeated actions and changing control levels. A larger target, stronger control or recent result does not make the next action predictable.

Use only disposable entertainment money, choose the maximum session spending in advance and stop when the money or time limit is reached. Do not increase the control level to chase previous losses.
