Every fishing game has a fishing boss, and its boss fish multiplier is the biggest number on the screen: the giant target crosses now and then and pays far more than anything else. Bosses are why fishing sessions get expensive, because they take many shots to catch. This page sits under the arcade fishing pillar, which explains how fish shooters pay shot by shot.
What makes a fishing boss different
| Common fish | Boss | |
|---|---|---|
| How often it appears | constantly | from time to time |
| Shots it usually takes | few | many |
| What it pays | small multiples | the game’s largest multiples |
| What it costs you | a few stakes | many stakes, often more than you plan |
Boss fish multiplier examples from the studios
Studios describe their bosses on their own game pages. These are the descriptions saved for this site:
- JILI, All-Star Fishing. JILI’s page lists a Naga Boss and an Immortal Boss, a special high multiplier of 999X and a top win of 1200x. It says the more you tap the screen during the interactive boss, the higher the multiplier climbs.
- CQ9, Hero Fishing. CQ9’s page says its bosses, the Toad King and the Octopus Ruler of the Sea, appear from time to time and attack, while ordinary fish pay from 2X to 100X.
- JDB, Dragon Master. JDB’s page says catching the Supreme Wyvern triggers consecutive 1500X combos and lists a 3600X maximum win and a 96.5% RTP.
- JILI, Bombing Fish. JILI’s page warns of a powerful boss that can cross your fishing ground and trigger jackpots, with a 1200x top win.
The JILI studio page, the CQ9 studio page and the JDB studio page summarise each studio.
Why a boss takes more shots and pays more
A boss’s high multiple and its high shot count go together. Shown as an example with round numbers: at a ₱2 shot cost, a boss that pays 300x returns ₱600 when caught; if it took 200 shots to catch, those shots cost ₱400 before the payout. If the boss escapes after 200 shots, the ₱400 is simply gone.
| Shot cost | Shots fired at the boss | Spent | Paid if caught at 300x |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₱2 | 100 | ₱200 | ₱600 |
| ₱2 | 200 | ₱400 | ₱600 |
| ₱2 | 400 | ₱800 | ₱600 |
Shooting at a boss without losing the session
A boss is on screen and you keep firing past your budget.
Other players are shooting the same boss and you feel you will lose your share.
The same discipline applies to the quick arcade titles: Mines and the Aviator crash game both turn on deciding when to stop.
FAQ
What is a fishing boss?
The biggest target in a fishing game: a large creature that appears from time to time, takes many shots to catch and pays a far larger multiple than ordinary fish.
How big is a boss fish multiplier?
Each game prints its own. JILI's All-Star Fishing lists special multipliers up to 999X; JDB's Dragon Master says catching its Supreme Wyvern triggers consecutive 1500X combos.
Should I keep shooting a boss until it falls?
Only within a budget you set first. Every shot at a boss costs your stake, and the game, not the number of shots, decides when it is caught.
