Fish tables and slots are the two big styles of sweepstakes games. Here's how each one plays, what makes them different, and simple tips for getting started with either.
Most sweepstakes apps, from Orion Stars and Juwa to Game Vault 999 and Ultra Panda, offer two main styles of game: fish tables and slots. They feel very different to play, so it's worth knowing which suits you before you load your first credits.
What are fish table games?
Fish table games are arcade-style shooters. You control a cannon at the edge of the screen and fire at fish, sea creatures and bosses swimming across the table. Each shot costs a small amount of credits, and each target pays out when you catch it. Bigger or rarer targets pay more but take more hits.
What makes them fun:
- You're in control. You choose where to aim, when to fire and how much each shot costs.
- Bosses and specials. Dragons, giant crabs and other boss creatures can pay big multipliers, and special weapons (like bombs or lasers) can clear several targets at once.
- Multiplayer tables. Many rooms seat several players at once, which makes it feel social.
Good to know: fish games move fast. It's easy to fire a lot of shots in a short time, so keep an eye on your credits.
What are slots?
Slots are the classic casino game: spin the reels and win when matching symbols land on a payline. Sweepstakes apps include everything from simple three-reel "777" machines to video slots packed with features.
What makes them fun:
- Easy to learn. Choose your bet and press spin. That's it.
- Bonus features. Free spins, wilds, multipliers and bonus rounds add excitement.
- Some slots include jackpot prizes that grow over time.
