TK999 fishing game: a slow start on an evening after your first week

Once your first week has taught you deposits, bonus terms and the withdrawal route, many people want to know how the lobby's fishing game actually works. With colourful fish and shooting sounds it feels light, but every single shot comes out of your balance. So start it on an evening when you have time and no hurry. This page is an unofficial guide; the game runs only in the official TK999 lobby.

What kind of game is fishing, and how is it different from slots?

In a slot you press one button and the reels spin. In a fishing game you aim yourself: fish swim across the screen, you fire from a cannon at your seat below, and when a fish is caught its value is added to your balance. Because it feels hands-on, you may think skill is everything, but which shot catches a fish is decided by the game's own calculation. So don't sit down thinking "once my aim is good, I'll win".

Some fishing rooms have seats for several players in the same water, and you can see other players' shots on screen too. That can make it feel as if someone is "stealing" your fish, and you may want to raise your shot value to compete. That feeling of competition is exactly what pushes up beginners' costs. Play with your eyes on your own balance box, not on other people's shots.

Which parts of the screen should I watch?

• Your seat and cannon: usually at the bottom. Shots go wherever you touch the screen.
• Shot value: increase and decrease buttons beside the cannon. The higher the value, the more each shot costs.
• Balance: a small box near your seat. It drops with every shot and rises when you catch a fish; this box is the evening's real account.
• Auto or lock: in some games. When on, shots keep firing even if you don't tap.
• Info or help: fish values and special character rules are written here.

How do I start on the first evening?

1. Find the fishing section in the lobby's game list; tap whatever name the lobby shows.
2. Hold the phone sideways and raise the brightness a little so small fish are visible too.
3. Before firing, open help and read the fish list and rules.
4. Lower the shot value to the minimum and check that auto is off.
5. Fire ten or twelve shots by hand and note in a notebook how the balance moves.
6. When you reach the limit you set in advance, close the game, whether you're up or down.

Should I fire at a big fish or boss when I see one?

Big fish and boss characters show higher values, but they aren't caught easily. Beginners often keep firing at one big fish and empty their balance within minutes. Nobody can say for sure how many shots a fish will take. If you want to know values or RTP, check the game's help; we don't write guessed numbers. On the first evening, treat big fish as something to watch.

What if the network drops or the game freezes midway?

On a weak connection the game may stop or the page may reload. Don't hurry to reopen it again and again. Go back in and first check your balance and game history. If they don't match, write to the lobby's live chat with the time, game name and a screenshot; how to write it clearly is in the support lesson. If someone outside the chat, from a personal number, offers to "fix it" and asks for your OTP or money, don't reply.

Short end-of-evening checklist

• I kept the shot value at the minimum the whole time.
• Auto fire was off.
• I stopped when I reached the limit I set.
• I wrote down my starting and ending balance.

An easy way to set limits is on the responsible play page. For lessons on other games, open the game list.
