Best fish games? How much did you win here?

[DanteBaker]

Hey everyone! I've been playing various fish games for the past two years. Most of my time has been spent on Aviator and similar games. It always seemed to me that this kind of game should bankrupt casinos, since unlike slots, the player has a lot more control over the process, and with the right strategy, could consistently stay in the green (even if just a little).

Personally, I've played Aviator and came up with a bunch of my own strategies, but to be honest, none of them showed convincing positive results. For example, I’ve tried both low and relatively high bets. I've tried placing one bet or two. I’ve cashed out as early as 1.5x (I'm not greedy). But nothing really worked. If you look at my stats, I’m slightly in the positive (+8%) over the last while, but I’ve spent at least 40 hours a month on this. I could definitely make more money if I worked as a waiter.

Am I doing something wrong, or does everyone see similar results with these fish games? It’s crazy how addictive they are - way more than slots. I think it’s because of the false sense of control over the game. What do you guys think? Where do you play? What are the odds? What's your biggest jackpot here? Share it please. I am desparate

Mate, I hear ya. Fish games are addictive as hell. I've sunk more hours into Aviator than I care to admit.

Same here. They give you that feeling of control, but at the end of the day, it's still gambling. The house always wins in the long run.

+8% over that much time isn't bad, though. Most people are in the red.

 

[Jotunheim]

True, but like @DanteBaker said, you could make more as a waiter. It's entertainment, not a job.

I've had better luck with Spaceman than Aviator. Biggest win was 50x, but those are rare.

The thing with these games is that the RNG is still king. No strategy can overcome the house edge in the long run.

Exactly. They're designed to be profitable for the casino, just like any other game.

I stick to JetX these days. Interface is cleaner and it seems to pay out a bit better. But that's probably just confirmation bias.

Has anyone tried Balloon? It's similar to Aviator but with a different theme. Wonder if the odds are any better.

They're all the same under the hood, mate. Different skins, same game.

 

[DanteBaker]

Thanks for the inputs, everyone. @Legolas, I haven't tried Balloon yet. Might give it a go. Anyone had any big wins there?

Hit a 100x on Balloon once. Nearly fell out of my chair!

Nice one! My biggest was only 20x on Aviator. Still chasing that dragon.

 

[Robbie84]

Pfft, 100x? I once hit 500x on JetX! Turned $10 into $5000 just like that!

 

[FakeOrgasm]

@Robbie84 Pics or it didn't happen, mate.

 

[RiddicK]

Even if it did happen, that's like winning the lottery. Can't count on that kind of luck.

 

[Ev.Lab]

Agreed. I treat these games as entertainment, not a way to make money. Keeps me from going crazy chasing big wins.

 

[Tiger_Yo!]

But chasing big wins is half the fun!

And that's how you go broke, my friend. Gotta keep those expectations in check.
