We are all used to the classic slot machine games that we love. How would you feel about discovering something new, though? We interviewed Sean Liu, the Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, and we soon learned that their fishing-shooting games were a very important step on their way to success in the industry. TaDa Gaming offers an exciting, immersive experience where players trap or shoot characters to score points. Allow us to unveil all mysteries regarding their game collection, future releases, and many other fun aspects!
Thanks for taking the time to speak with us today. TaDa Gaming has established itself as a leader in the Fishing-Shooting game genre. To start, could you explain to our readers — what are Fishing-Shooting games?
Thank you for the opportunity! The most straightforward explanation is that fishing-shooting games are mobile, RNG, casino games that require players to successfully shoot at moving targets for wins.
Players trap or shoot the fish/characters to score points. Every shot places a wager, just like each spin in slot games does but, with no reels or paylines, the whole screen is the game and wins are based on successfully hitting the target. Every fish/character has a unique value or triggers a specific bonus and so players can develop strategies to maximise their hit rate and wins.
Visually they are impressive. Games like Ocean King Jackpot offer fantastic animations and graphics, variety in weapon and ammo and multiple, recognisable, gaming features including multipliers, lucky wheels and jackpots.
Underwater/aquatic themes are currently the most popular such as Mega Fishing and Jackpot Fishing. However, we are developing new narratives and players are going to love what’s coming next.
Once players discover TaDa Games, we see from increased rounds played, increased size of wager, repeat plays and other KPIs how they create superb engagement and positively impact operators’ customer acquisition strategies and costs.
What do you think makes Fishing-Shooting games such a global hit, particularly in regions outside of Asia like Europe and Latin America?
There are multiple reasons including: more players looking for games offering strategic choices; the influx of new to gaming demographics – especially those crossing from video gaming – who want more skill influenced gameplay; players looking for dynamic experiences and, those who enjoy the nostalgic appeal as fishing-shooting reminds them of the arcade games they played early on.
There is also recognition of the gambling concept: the wager process is similar to slots so it makes players more comfortable trying a new experience. In slots, you place a bet each time you spin the reels; in fishing-shooting, each shot places the bet so the mix of familiarity and innovation in an RNG game has really resonated with new audiences.
Fishing-shooting games are also very easy to learn, making them accessible to a wide range of players in both emerging and established markets. The more you play the better you – and the games – get, as players can develop a strategy for timing, weapon and target choice; and understand the interplay between the features and bonuses and what this means for win potential.
What are some of the standout features that differentiate TaDa Gaming’s Fishing-Shooting games from competitors?
TaDa games lead the market with outstanding animations and narratives that support the gameplay for truly immersive experiences that offer great flexibility.
We specialise in dynamic bonus games such as the Whirlpool in Mega Fishing, which, if you kill the Starfish will create a vortex, pulling every other fish in the vicintity into it for increased wins and with fantastic visual effects. Happy Fishing has a Golden Fortune Wheel which is triggered by successfully hitting the Giant Octopus and can deliver a multiplier up to a whopping 950x!
Our fishing-shooting games also have three separate ‘Rooms’ that offer different betting ranges, volatility levels and player difficulty; so, the same game can be played over but for a different gaming experience each time.
New players can start with low risk/low volatility which gives frequent, smaller wins. Once players are more confident/experienced, they can raise the risk level for bigger win potential with higher volatility.
Moreover, all our games offer practice/demo mode, on screen tips and a Rules section which mean players can familiarise themselves with the gameplay and work up through different levels before playing for real.
We also offer Tutorial Mode for Newbies in some games: each method of introducing the concept in a straightforward way has been tailored for different markets and to ensure that all players fully understand the gameplay for maximum safe enjoyment.
With TaDa Gaming’s expansion into regulated markets, how does compliance and localization play a role in your Fishing-Shooting offerings?
We are multi-licenced in many markets, so all our games conform to the rigorous standards of the Greek, Maltese, Romanian and Swedish gaming authorities as well as being certified across further jurisdictions including Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and Brazil. We also are certified for fairness in RNG by all the industry leading bodies, including BMM, GLi and GA.
We pride ourselves on our translation and localisation standards. We make sure we are always idiomatic in language and culturally respectful in terms of images and symbols for example. We offer 25+ languages and over 100 currencies, including crypto, to give the widest choices. Good localisation creates better connections with players and leads to higher rates of engagement and retention, so it really is an important investment.
TaDa Gaming releases new content regularly. Are there any exciting new Fishing-Shooting titles we should be looking forward to?
We are literally coming out of the water with our next fishing-shooting release and players will love Fortune Zombie. The action moves across town to the Station of No Return and the graphics offer superb detail and a lot of humour. It is a real change of style in this genre of game for us – much more of Pixar style design and storyline.
Fortune Zombie offers demo mode and unique avatar tutorial for maximising successful gameplay. Multiplier wins come from some hilariously ugly zombies as well as a Lucky Drop bonus of 20x, an in-game Dice Bonus; a generous Ferris Wheel spin and three progressive Jackpots.
The weapon choice has also been beefed up with a grenade launcher and a Target Lock feature. This means that only the target zombie will meet its end, without players using up ammo on any other obstacles in the way. With multiple changes of scenery and location, spectacular graphics and 3000x max win, we are certain that players are really going to enjoy this shoot out.
Finally, what advice would you give operators looking to integrate Fishing-Shooting games into their platform successfully?
Well, working with TaDa is a good start as we are committed to professional and successful partnerships. We have made significant efforts to minimise complications and maximise effortless and seamless integrations through our Single API, advanced technology, stable back-end and solid stack so integrating our fishing- shooting games is not particularly complex.
The initial technical hurdle with fish shooting games lay in the high-speed bullet-firing mechanism and the challenge of synchronising it with the transaction system. We have refined our technology to achieve 3-second settlements, providing precise tracking of each individual bullet. This entire process is handled by TaDa, requiring no adjustments from operators.
This ensures that we are able to integrate our portfolio APIs to the operator platforms, mobile apps and casinos; set up the payment gateways, authentication; and conduct testing and compliance within a short timeframe. So, we make it easy and profitable to work with us.
Thanks for your time today! It’s clear that TaDa Gaming is pushing the boundaries of Fishing-Shooting games and bringing innovation to the market. Any final words for our readers.
Well, ‘Thank You’ is what we really want to say. We couldn’t do it without the players’ support. We are all gaming fans at TaDa Games so we put players first to make sure we keep delivering the best games around.
In terms of operator partnerships, we actively look to make connections with those casinos who also prioritise the gaming experience through excellent localisation and customer service. Please get in touch with us if you want to know more. We are always open for business.
