VR7 Fishing Game: How a Cannon Room Actually Works
Tembak ikan is the one category on our floor where you spend continuously instead of round by round. A shot costs from RM0.20, the room keeps moving whether you fire or not, and the other players at the table are shooting at the same fish. Below are the cannon levels, the boss rounds and the arithmetic of a minute in a room.
- Open Ikan from the rail and pick a room at the cannon level you want, not the busiest one.
- Set the cannon before you fire; the level is what each shot costs you.
- Fire at what is in front of you rather than chasing a fish across the screen.
- Watch the balance, not the shot counter; spend here is measured by the minute.
Cannon levels and what a shot costs
The cannon is the bet. Entry rooms start at RM0.20 a shot and the levels climb from there, with each step raising both what a shot costs and what a kill returns. Nothing else in the room changes with the level: the same fish swim past at the same rate and carry the same multipliers.
That makes the choice simpler than it looks. A higher cannon is not a better cannon and a lower one is not a safer one; both are the same game at a different speed of spending. Pick the level at which a quiet two minutes does not bother you, because a quiet two minutes will happen.
Who builds the rooms
JILI, JDB, CQ9 and Joker supply our fishing rooms, and the same four names appear on parts of the slot shelf, which is why the art style feels familiar if you have come across from there. Each studio runs its own room sizes, its own boss roster and its own multiplier tables, so a room is worth reading before it is worth shooting in.
JILI builds the busiest rooms and the ones most people start in. JDB leans on boss rounds and special cannons. CQ9 and Joker run smaller tables with a slower fish cycle, which suits a lower cannon and a longer sitting. All four settle to the same balance as the rest of VR7 casino, with no transfer between the rooms.
Multipliers, bosses and the shared table
Every fish carries a multiplier of your cannon level, printed on it or listed in the room's paytable. Small fish return a little and die quickly; the large ones carry the long multipliers and take a great many shots, which is where a balance goes when nobody is watching it.
Boss rounds drop a single high-multiplier target into the room on a timer, and every player at the table fires at it. Whoever lands the killing shot takes the payout, and everybody else has paid for their shots regardless. That is the part worth understanding before you join a crowded room: shooting at a boss four other people are also shooting at is a race you can lose after spending exactly as much as the winner.
The table is genuinely shared. Fish killed by someone else are gone for everyone, and a quiet-looking room is sometimes just a room where somebody with a higher cannon is clearing the screen faster than you are.
Why spend here is measured in minutes
A slot charges you when you press. A fishing room charges you for every shot, and with auto-fire holding the trigger down that can be several shots a second. The useful number is therefore not the cannon level but the cannon level multiplied by how long you intend to sit.
Work it out before you start, in ringgit, the same way you would for an hour at a live table. Then keep the balance panel in your eyeline rather than the shot counter, because the counter is the one number in the room that does not tell you what you have spent. The same 0.8% daily rebate applies to this turnover as to everything else, and it arrives the following evening rather than during the session.
Room etiquette and the things that do not work
There is no reserved fish and no queue. Whoever lands the shot takes the payout, and a player who arrives after you has exactly the same claim on the screen as you do. Firing into a corner to wait for a boss costs the same as firing at fish, so waiting is not free.
Three habits cost people money without returning anything. Chasing one large fish across the room with a high cannon, because the shots that miss cost full price. Raising the cannon after a dry spell, because the room has no memory of your last hundred shots. And leaving auto-fire running while reading something else, which is the only way to empty a balance in a room you are not even watching.
The fishing rooms, and the slot shelf next door
Tembak Ikan and the slot shelf are built by the same studios. JILI, CQ9, JDB and Spadegaming all supply both, which is why a fishing room feels closer to an online slot game than to a casino table: the bet is small, the round is continuous, and the maths lives on the studio's server rather than in the room.
The difference is what the bet buys. On the shelf a spin buys one outcome. In a room a shot buys a chance at whatever is on screen at that instant, and the shot costs from RM0.20. Twenty minutes at an entry cannon and twenty minutes of slot spins can move the same balance by a similar amount, which is why we measure spend here in minutes rather than in rounds.
Everything around it is shared. One MYR wallet, minimum deposit RM10, minimum withdrawal RM30, 0.8% cashback on all turnover, one history. The welcome bonus and its wagering requirement name slot games only, so a fishing round does not clear it; the rebate, which counts every real money game, does not care which room you were in.
Free rounds, real money rounds and what the rebate counts
Most rooms open in demo the way a free slot does. The cannon fires, the fish die and nothing reaches the wallet, which makes it a decent way to learn where the multipliers sit before a single ringgit is at risk. Play free for as long as you like; nothing there builds wagering, earns cashback or counts toward a welcome bonus.
In real money gaming the room behaves like the rest of the online casino. The shot is deducted at the moment it is fired, the result is written to your history before the animation finishes, and the payout is credited in MYR. Malaysian players sometimes expect a fishing room to be settled at the end of a session; it is not, and neither is a slot spin or a blackjack hand.
For the 0.8% rebate, every vertical reads the same. Slot spins, fishing shots, a live dealer table, a 4D ticket and a sportsbook slip are added together as one day's turnover and paid at 6pm. That is the one figure on a Malaysian online casino account that does not care how you spent the day, and the trusted online casino test is simply whether it lands on time - trust online is built out of small payments arriving when they should.
Frequently asked questions
What does a shot cost at the entry level?
From RM0.20. Higher cannon levels cost more per shot and return more on a kill, but the fish, the multipliers and the room itself are identical at every level.
Can another player take the fish I have been shooting?
Yes. The table is shared and the payout goes to whoever lands the killing shot. Shots you already fired are spent either way, which is why chasing a single large target is an expensive habit.
Is fishing turnover counted for the rebate?
It is, at the same 0.8% as every other category, calculated on the previous day and paid at 6pm. Fishing turnover is counted shot by shot rather than round by round.
Does a boss become easier the longer it survives?
No. Each shot resolves on its own and the room keeps no running tally against a target. A boss that has absorbed a hundred shots is in exactly the same state as one that has just appeared.
