What Are Fish Games and Why Are They So Popular in the Philippines?
Fish shooting games — locally called fish games or fish hunter — started in arcade halls across Asia and eventually made their way into the online gaming scene. The concept is simple: you control a cannon, aim at fish swimming across the screen, and earn rewards based on the type and size of your catch. But don't let the straightforward premise fool you. At 818jl, these games are packed with layers of strategy, exciting boss rounds, and bonus mechanics that keep players coming back.
For Filipino players, fish games hit differently. The combination of fast-paced action, visual spectacle, and the satisfying click of a well-aimed shot makes it feel more engaging than simply spinning a reel. You're actively in the game, deciding where to aim, how much firepower to use, and when to go after the big boss creatures that carry the highest rewards.
Top Fish Game Titles Available at 818jl
818jl works with leading game providers to keep the fish games library fresh and competitive. Here's a look at the types of titles you'll find in the fish games section:
Ocean King Series
One of the most recognisable names in fish shooting, Ocean King offers multiple rooms with different bet levels. The game features sea turtles, sharks, dragon fish, and massive boss characters that trigger bonus multipliers. Perfect for both casual players and those looking to bet higher for bigger returns.
Dragon Fortune Fish
A fan favourite at 818jl, Dragon Fortune Fish combines traditional fish hunting mechanics with an Asian-themed underwater world. The golden dragon boss is the one everyone aims for — landing the kill can unlock chain explosions that wipe out multiple fish at once, stacking your rewards rapidly.
Jackpot Fishing
As the name suggests, Jackpot Fishing centres on a progressive prize pool that grows with every shot fired across all tables. The more players participate, the bigger the jackpot grows. This version also includes a special torpedo feature that lets you launch high-power shots at boss fish during peak bonus rounds.
Alien Hunter Fish
A more adventurous take on the genre, Alien Hunter Fish swaps the ocean setting for an intergalactic aquarium filled with space creatures. The alien fish varieties come with unique attack patterns and reward mechanics, giving the game a refreshing feel compared to traditional underwater titles.
How to Play Fish Games on 818jl
Getting started is easy. If you already have an 818jl account, head straight to the Fish Games section from the menu. New players can register in a few minutes and be shooting fish before the hour is up.
Understanding the Controls
Once inside a game room, you'll see your cannon at the bottom of the screen and a sea of moving fish above. Use the aim controls — tap or click on your target — and press fire. Each shot costs a certain amount depending on your selected bet level. The key is balancing how many shots you fire against the value of the fish you're targeting. Wasting bullets on small, low-value fish when a boss is nearby is a common beginner mistake.
Choosing Your Bet Level
Most fish games at 818jl allow you to adjust the power of your cannon, which directly affects both the cost per shot and the potential reward. A higher-powered cannon will kill fish faster but uses up your balance more quickly. Start at a comfortable level that lets you stay in the game long enough to hit the bonus rounds.
Special Weapons and Features
- Torpedoes: High-damage shots that cost more but are effective against boss fish.
- Chain Lightning: Hits multiple fish in one go — best used when a school of fish clusters together.
- Free Bullets: Some bonus rounds reward you with a set of free shots. Use them aggressively on the biggest targets.
- Bomb Shells: Area-of-effect weapons that can clear a large portion of the screen.

Fish Games vs. Slot Games: Which One Is for You?
