BG Gaming: Fish Shooting Arcades and Live Dealer Tables

BG Gaming is an Asian games studio best known for two things: arcade fish shooting tables and live dealer casino rooms. Instead of reels and paylines, its flagship titles put you behind a cannon aimed at moving sea creatures, each carrying its own cash multiplier. The same studio also streams classic table games such as baccarat, roulette, sic bo and dragon tiger from live studios.

What BG Gaming actually offers

The studio's catalogue splits cleanly into two halves, and they play nothing alike.

The fish shooting half is arcade software. A single screen is filled with schools of fish drifting past, occasional bosses such as an octopus or a giant crab, and a bank of cannons along the bottom. Every creature has a stated value. You spend coins on ammunition and collect that value when a target is destroyed. Features seen across BG titles include double and triple shot modes, mermaid bonuses and rainbow chest rounds, plus high-multiplier fish that appear intermittently.

The live dealer half is conventional casino content with a human presenter. Typical tables cover classic and special baccarat, roulette, sic bo, dragon tiger, bull and three-card games. Bet limits, results history and side-bet options are displayed on screen while the round runs, so you can follow the table without asking the dealer anything.

How a fish shooting round works

The mechanic is simple enough to learn in a minute, which is much of the appeal.

• Pick a stake tier. Lower tiers cost only a few coins per shot and give you a single cannon. Middle tiers raise the cost per shot and unlock a second cannon. High tiers cost substantially more and fire from three.
• Adjust on the fly. Once the table loads you can raise or lower the cost per shot using the controls beside the cannon, without leaving the room.
• Choose targets deliberately. Small fish die quickly and pay little. Bosses absorb a great deal of ammunition and pay the large multipliers, so firing at one with a weak cannon usually just drains your balance.
• Use the special items. Depending on the title you may have access to nets, water bombs or a fish finder. Bombs clear a wide area at once and are worth saving for a crowded screen.

There is no spin button and no reel, so sessions have no natural stopping point. That makes it easy to play longer than intended.

What to look at before you sit down

A few habits separate a controlled session from an expensive one.

Check the cost per shot against your total balance first. At three cannons firing continuously, a bankroll disappears far faster than it would on a slot at the same nominal stake, because you are paying for every shot rather than every spin.

Read the paytable for the specific title rather than assuming it matches another fish game. Multipliers attached to bosses and special fish vary between releases.

On the live tables, look at the minimum and maximum bet before joining rather than after. Special baccarat variants and side bets often carry different limits from the classic version of the same game.

Players over 18 only: these are games of chance settled by a random number generator, so decide on a budget before you start and stop when you reach it.
