Fish Catch is the odd one out in the Fair Go pokies lobby. It is not reels and paylines at all; it is an arcade-style fishing game where you aim and fire at fish swimming across the screen, and each catch pays according to the fish. SpinLogic built it as a change of pace, and Aussies who find traditional pokies repetitive tend to love it.
Fair Go lists Fish Catch in its catalogue but publishes no RTP, payout table or max win. This page explains the format, how to launch it, how it differs from a pokie, and which bonus codes work with it.

How Fish Catch works
You choose a bet per shot, aim a cannon at fish crossing the screen and fire. Each shot costs your bet; each fish you catch pays a multiple of that bet according to its size and type. Bigger fish take more hits. There are usually special targets and a boss-style creature that pays the most, but the exact values are shown in the in-game info panel rather than published by Fair Go.
The result is a game that feels active. You are clicking or tapping constantly, choosing targets, and watching your balance move shot by shot. It plays very differently from spinning Mermaid Pearls, even though both are set underwater.
Is it skill or luck?
Both, in a sense. Where you aim is up to you, but whether a fish is "caught" by a hit is determined by the game's random number generator, which Fair Go says is independently tested. In other words, aiming at the big fish does not guarantee catching it. Treat Fish Catch as a game of chance with an interactive layer, not as something you can beat with reflexes.
Launching Fish Catch at Fair Go
- Log in on the Fair Go website in any modern browser. No app exists or is needed.
- Search "Fish Catch" in the lobby. It may also appear under specialty games rather than pokies.
- Open the demo. Practise aiming and watch how your balance changes per shot.
- Switch to real money and set a per-shot bet you are comfortable with; shots add up fast.
Managing a session
- Decide a session budget in dollars, then divide by your per-shot bet to see how many shots that is. It is usually fewer than you expect.
- Lower the bet rather than firing faster when things go quiet.
- Stop when the budget is spent. The game has no natural end point, so you need to set one. Our bankroll management guide has a simple method.
Bonus codes and Fish Catch
Fair Go's free-spin promotions are tied to reel pokies, so they do not apply here. Match bonuses can be used, subject to terms: some casinos weight arcade and specialty games differently for wagering, so check the current conditions in the T&Cs or ask live chat.
