The table has two columns that match and two that do not. Both games publish a maximum win and a feature. Only one of them publishes an RTP, a volatility label and a grid.

What Big Bass Splash publishes that Mega Fishing cannot

A reel slot has a fixed grid, so Pragmatic Play can print the numbers that describe it. Big Bass Splash’s RTP and boosters include 96.71%, high volatility, 10 paylines and a 5000x maximum. A reader can set those beside any other slot’s numbers.

The feature set is also countable. Money fish carry values, a fisherman wild collects them, and three or more scatters start the free spins. Random boosters then add extra fish, extra fishermen or higher multipliers at the start of that round.

Problem

You look for a Mega Fishing RTP to set against the 96.71% figure.

Fix

Open JILI’s Mega Fishing page and read its field list: max win, type of game, special feature, paylines, publish time. RTP is not one of the fields, so the entry is Not published. Compare Mega Fishing with another JILI arcade title, not with a slot’s RTP.

What Mega Fishing shows that Big Bass Splash cannot

A slot has no targets to choose from. JILI’s page for Mega Fishing’s cannon format names the targets and tools instead: a Giant Prize Fish with a chance of 5x multipliers, a Giant Anglerfish that opens treasure chests, giant crocodiles, a Mega Octopus spinning the octopus wheel, and torpedoes and a railgun. The network data file puts it in one line: a cannon and a stake per shot, not reels and a stake per spin.

That gives a different kind of control. In Big Bass Splash you choose the stake and press spin. In Mega Fishing you also choose which target to fire at, and each target carries its own value.

  1. In the slot, ask what a spin costs and what the features pay.
  2. In the cannon game, ask what a shot costs and what each target is worth.
  3. In both, read the info screen for the basis of the maximum-win multiplier.

Which comparison you can make, and which you cannot

You can compare maximum wins as printed, 5000x against 950x, and you can compare features by name. You can compare theme, since both sit on the water.

You cannot compare RTP, because JILI prints none, and you cannot compare volatility for the same reason. A cannon game has no paylines, so a payline count has no counterpart. Where a number does not exist for one game, leave the cell empty instead of filling it from a third-party list.

Problem

You pick Mega Fishing because 950x looks smaller than 5000x and so safer.

Fix

A maximum win is the top of a range, not the typical result. Pragmatic Play labels Big Bass Splash high volatility, and JILI labels nothing for Mega Fishing, so neither figure tells you the day-to-day swing. Run a demo and watch the balance move before any stake.

Where to go next

Try the cannon side first, because a free session shows you what a slot table cannot. The trying the Mega Fishing demo cover where JILI runs it and what to watch. For other cannon titles, JDB fishing games and their figures lists the fish shooters on JDB’s own site, several with an RTP printed on the page.
