One red envelope in Cai Shen Fishing at JL55 can pay anywhere from 2x to 1,000x your bullet value, and JDB’s three paid cannons skip the small fish altogether. Here is what each cannon costs, what each target pays and what the game leaves unpublished.
Cai Shen Fishing by JDB at JL55: What Is Published and What Is Not
Cai Shen Fishing is a fish-shooting game from JDB, and it sits in the JL55 fishing lobby beside the JILI and FA CHAI fishing titles, not in Slots. There are no reels or paylines. You aim a cannon at fish and sea creatures, and each capture pays a multiple of the bullet value you set. The table gathers what JDB’s own game page and an independent catalog publish.
| Spec | Cai Shen Fishing |
|---|---|
| Game type | Multiplayer fish-shooting game, no reels or paylines |
| Provider | JDB, listed on JDB Gaming’s own fish shooting page |
| Released | Listed as March 2020 by one catalog (approximate); JDB calls it a classic title |
| Max win | Up to 1,000x, through the red envelope draw, CAI SHEN FA FA FA and JU BAO LIAN LIAN |
| RTP | Not published by JDB, and no figure in the independent catalog |
| Volatility | Not published by JDB; one reviewer labels it medium |
| Players | Up to 4 on the same screen, per the catalog review |
| Rooms | Three levels; the names differ between listings |
| Where to find it at JL55 | Fishing lobby, among the JILI, JDB and FA CHAI titles |
Two rows are blank on purpose. JDB’s game page lists no RTP and no volatility, and the SlotCatalog entry shows N/A for both, so this page quotes neither. Third-party pages that do quote a percentage for this game point to no JDB source. The one volatility label in circulation comes from a single reviewer and is not a JDB figure.
That shapes who the game suits. A member who picks games by RTP has nothing to compare here. A member who picks by feature set, cannon choice and room level has plenty to work with: three paid cannons, three bonus games, free bullets and up to four players on one screen. The same reviewer finds the interface not instantly intuitive and the auto shot not adjustable, two points worth knowing before you set a bullet value.
Three Cannons That Skip Small Fish: What 3x, 6x and 15x Cost per Shot
Beside the standard bullet, Cai Shen Fishing sells three paid cannons. Listings call them Pyrotechnic Shell, Tiger Cannon and Dragon Cannon, while JDB’s own page mentions a Machine Gun, so the names on the version at JL55 may differ. Each costs a fixed multiple of your bullet value per shot and, per the listings, raises your capture rate while ignoring the smallest fish. The table prices them at a ₱5 bullet, an example amount and not a set stake.
| Weapon | Cost per shot | Fish it skips | At a ₱5 bullet | 50 shots |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard bullet | 1x | No skip listed | ₱5 | ₱250 |
| Pyrotechnic Shell | 3x | 2x to 3x | ₱15 | ₱750 |
| Tiger Cannon | 6x | 2x to 6x | ₱30 | ₱1,500 |
| Dragon Cannon | 15x | 2x to 15x | ₱75 | ₱3,750 |
All three cannons are listed as raising the chance of reaching JU BAO LIAN LIAN and of triggering BA FANG SI FU, a bonus that adds a 3x, 7x or 10x critical reward on top of a capture. Two sources agree on this, though neither gives a trigger rate.
The figures line up in a way the listings never explain. Each cannon’s cost multiple equals the top of the range it skips: 3x and 2x to 3x, 6x and 2x to 6x, 15x and 2x to 15x. Read it as a pattern in the published numbers, not as a stated rule. It does have a practical meaning. A fish a paid cannon can capture is listed above the cost multiple of the shot, so a capture returns more than the shot cost, while a miss costs the full price. At a ₱5 bullet a Dragon Cannon shot costs ₱75, and fifty of them cost ₱3,750, against ₱250 for fifty standard bullets.
The trade-off is cost against focus. A paid cannon spends its shots on bigger fish, at a higher price per shot. Members with a small session budget get more shots from the standard bullet, and members who would rather not spend any shot on a 2x fish accept the higher price for that.
From 2x Fish to Cai Shen at 300x: What Each Target Pays
Every capture pays its listed multiple times your bullet value. The ranges below come mostly from JDB’s own page and one catalog review, so read them as listed ranges and not as exact paytable lines.
| Target | Listed multiple | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Small fish and starfish | 2x to 10x | The most common creatures on screen, per the catalog review |
| Mid-range fish (octopus, pufferfish, sharks) | 12x to 30x | Brightly coloured, mid-sized creatures |
| Manta ray and rare jellyfish | 40x to 50x | Seen less often than the small fish |
| Golden hammerhead shark | 80x | Single listed figure |
| Golden fish statue | Up to 100x | Highest regular fish in the review |
| Fortune Firecrackers and Treasure Pot | 50x to 150x | Treasure Pot is described as a reward players work on together |
| Tempest Turtle | 50x to 200x | Starts a chain that collects other fish |
| Thunder Turtle | 50x to 300x | Starts a lightning chain |
| Cai Shen | 100x to 300x | Arrives during play; described as a shared bounty |
At a ₱5 bullet, a small fish pays ₱10 to ₱50 when it is captured, and Cai Shen pays ₱500 to ₱1,500. The 300x ceiling is 30 times the 10x ceiling of the small fish (300 ÷ 10).
That spread is what a session depends on. The more of your return that sits in a few high-multiple captures, the longer the quiet stretches can run, which is what higher volatility means in practice. JDB does not label this game, and the single reviewer who calls it medium offers a label, not a published figure. A member who prefers an even session leans toward the lower tiers, and a member who accepts long quiet stretches aims higher.
Red Envelopes, Wheel of Fortune and JU BAO LIAN LIAN: The Random Bonus Games
Three bonus games give the title its 1,000x ceiling. Each one arrives from a capture, an energy bar or a random draw, not from a button you can press whenever you like.
CAI SHEN FA FA FA: The Red Envelope Draw From 2x to 1,000x
Capturing a fish that carries a red envelope or the CAI SHEN FA FA FA symbol opens a red envelope lottery with listed rewards from 2x to 1,000x. JDB’s page gives the same 1,000x ceiling for red envelopes and for CAI SHEN FA FA FA, and the catalog review says the bonus cannot be triggered on purpose. At a ₱5 bullet the draw runs from ₱10 to ₱5,000. The published range says nothing about how often the top end lands, so the top figure is a ceiling, not an expectation.
JU BAO LIAN LIAN: Energy Bar, Coins and Gold Ingots
You reach JU BAO LIAN LIAN by capturing its fish or by filling its energy bar, and any bullet that hits a fish can add to the bar. The bonus game pays 1x to 5x from coins and 50x to 980x from gold ingots, for a total of 20x to 1,000x, which is ₱100 to ₱5,000 at a ₱5 bullet. One listing says the bar adjusts to your bet amount, that you choose among three ingots, and that a dropped connection makes the system pick the middle one. All three paid cannons are listed as raising your chance of reaching this feature, which is what you are buying with the extra cost per shot.
Wheel of Fortune: Pick a Spot for 40x to 200x
Capturing the Fortune Wheel card opens the wheel, and you pick a spot on the screen for a reward listed from 40x to 200x. JDB’s page gives the 200x top. At a ₱5 bullet that is ₱200 to ₱1,000, and the 200x ceiling is one fifth of the 1,000x ceiling in the other two bonus games (200 ÷ 1,000). The wheel is the smallest of the three, so it suits members who want a bonus with a lower ceiling and a narrower spread.
Together these explain the 1,000x ceiling and also its limit. The ceiling is reachable only inside the bonus games, and none of them can be forced on a given shot. JL55 Ocean King Jackpot lists a ceiling of up to 3,000x and a three-tier jackpot pool, three times the 1,000x of Cai Shen Fishing (3,000 ÷ 1,000), so the two fishing titles suit different appetites for swing.
Free Bullets, Mega Drill and the Turtle Chains
Three effects change how many shots you fire and how far each one reaches.
- Fortune Bazooka: pays 10x at once, then awards 20 to 100 free bullets. JDB’s page adds that it may award up to 999 free bullets again, a cap close to ten times the 100-bullet top of a first award (999 ÷ 100 is about 10).
- Mega Drill: pays 10x, and one listing says every player receives a free Mega Drill shot after their first 10 shots. A review adds that there is only one and that it bounces between fish until its effect ends. Both details come from single sources, so treat them as listed.
- Tempest Turtle and Thunder Turtle: a Tempest Turtle starts a Storm Chain that collects a random set of fish worth up to 20x, with a reward of 50x to 200x. A Thunder Turtle starts a lightning chain on fish worth up to 40x, with a reward of 50x to 300x.
Free bullets are shots you do not pay for, so a free-bullet round extends a session without extending your spending. JDB’s page does not say whether each free bullet carries your set bullet value, so the rules screen decides what a round is worth. The Thunder Turtle tops out at the same 300x as Cai Shen, which makes a turtle a second route to that figure on one bullet.
One listing adds a limit that touches the paid cannons: special weapons can be captured only with the initial gun, and the other weapons shown on the right of the screen cannot be used for that. If that holds for the version you open, a session spent on a paid cannon is not the way to reach the Bazooka or the Drill.
Newbie, Expert and Cai Shen Rooms: Picking a Risk Level Among Up to Four Players
Cai Shen Fishing is multiplayer, and you pick a room before you enter. JDB’s feature list names the rooms Newbie, Expert and CaiShen, while the game’s introduction text names a Joy Room, a VIP Room and a Cai Shen Room. Every listing agrees on three levels, and the room screen at JL55 shows the names for the version you open. One guide describes Newbie as the beginner room and Cai Shen as the high-stake room, and another says the rooms differ in the minimum bet per shot. This page states no bet limits for that reason.
The catalog review lists up to four players on the same screen. Cai Shen and the Treasure Pot are described as rewards players work on together, and the listings do not say how a shared reward is split. Rather than assume, read the rules of the room you enter.
The practical choice is about learning cost. Since the reviewer finds the interface not instantly intuitive, the lowest room is the cheaper place to learn where the cannons and the weapon shop sit, how a bullet value is set and what the auto shot does. Moving up a room is described as raising the minimum bet per shot, and no listing says it changes your chance of a capture.
Playing Cai Shen Fishing at JL55: Fishing Lobby, Deposit and Slot-Only Offers
JL55 lists two Cai Shen titles from JDB in the Fishing lobby, Cai Shen Fishing and Cai Shen Fishing Jackpot, and this page covers the original. JDB announced the Jackpot version as its first randomised jackpot mechanism in a fishing game and presented it as an upcoming release, without pool sizes or trigger rates, so this page describes none of its mechanics.
- Log in and fund your balance if you need to. The JL55 deposit guide lists a ₱50 minimum with Maya and ₱100 with GCash, GCashQR or USDT, all with 0% deposit fees.
- Open the Fishing lobby and select Cai Shen Fishing from the JDB titles, not the Jackpot tile if you want the original.
- Choose a room, read its rules screen, set a bullet value and fire.
Look at your offers before the first shot. The JL55 daily deposit bonus is Slot only, and its terms let JL55 recover the bonus if it is played on other games, so a Fishing session is the wrong place to clear it. The ₱265 first-deposit offer is also Slot only. Whether Fishing bets count toward VIP valid bet totals is not published, so ask Live Chat before you count on it.
Tips for Cai Shen Fishing: Cannon Choice, Random Bonuses and a Spending Cap
These tips follow from how the game is built. They help you plan a session and do not improve your chances of a capture.
- Check the rules screen of your room before firing. JDB publishes no RTP, and cannon names and room names differ between listings, so the screen you see is the reference.
- Do the multiplication before you pick a cannon. At a ₱5 bullet a Dragon Cannon shot costs ₱75, and fifty shots cost ₱3,750.
- Match the cannon to the fish you want. A Tiger Cannon skips everything from 2x to 6x, so choose it only if you are happy to pass on that whole range.
- Keep the bullet value where you set it after a miss. A fish that got away has no effect on the next shot, so raising the stake to recover a loss only raises the loss.
- Do not plan around the bonus games. The red envelope draw, the wheel and JU BAO LIAN LIAN arrive at random, and a 1,000x ceiling says nothing about how often.
- Keep your connection steady when a bonus game opens. One listing says a dropped connection makes the system choose the middle gold ingot for you.
- Fix a spending cap for the session before you enter a room. Every shot is a bet, so a rapid-fire session adds up faster than it feels. Leave when you reach the cap.
What JL55 Members Ask About Cai Shen Fishing Cannons, Bonus Games and Rooms
These six answers cover the points where the listings treat this game differently from one another.
Do the Cai Shen Fishing cannons cost more per shot than the standard bullet?
Yes. The three paid cannons are listed at 3x, 6x and 15x your bullet value per shot, so at a ₱5 bullet a shot costs ₱15, ₱30 or ₱75. In return each one skips the small fish, up to 3x, 6x and 15x respectively, and raises your capture rate on the rest.
What does JU BAO LIAN LIAN pay in Cai Shen Fishing and how do you enter it?
JU BAO LIAN LIAN pays 20x to 1,000x in total: coins add 1x to 5x and gold ingots add 50x to 980x. You enter it by capturing its fish or by filling its energy bar, which any bullet that hits a fish can add to. The paid cannons are listed as raising your chances of reaching it.
Do Fortune Bazooka free bullets cost anything to fire?
The Fortune Bazooka pays 10x at once, then awards 20 to 100 free bullets, with a chance of reaching 999. JDB’s page does not say whether each free bullet carries your set bullet value, so read the rules screen before assuming a figure. Free bullets are shots you do not pay for, not extra prizes.
Why do listings show both 200x and 1,000x for Cai Shen Fishing bonuses?
They describe different features. The Wheel of Fortune is listed up to 200x, while the red envelope draw, CAI SHEN FA FA FA and JU BAO LIAN LIAN reach 1,000x, and Cai Shen himself pays 100x to 300x. The 1,000x ceiling belongs to the bonus games, not to an ordinary fish.
Is Cai Shen Fishing Jackpot the same game as Cai Shen Fishing at JL55?
No. JL55 lists them as separate JDB titles in the Fishing lobby. JDB announced Cai Shen Fishing Jackpot as its first randomised jackpot mechanism in a fishing game, with no pool sizes or trigger rates in the announcement. Open the tile you want and read its rules screen.
Does JDB publish an RTP for Cai Shen Fishing?
No RTP figure appears on JDB’s game page, and the SlotCatalog entry lists none. Percentages on third-party pages carry no JDB source, and this page states none either. Any RTP is a theoretical long-run figure, not a promise for one session, so the rules screen at JL55 is the reference.
Before You Fire the First Bullet at JL55
Cai Shen Fishing at JL55 gives a spread of targets from 2x fish to Cai Shen at 300x, three random bonus games that reach 1,000x and three paid cannons priced at 3x, 6x and 15x per shot. It withholds an RTP, and its room names and cannon names vary by listing. Open it in the Fishing lobby with the rules screen read and a spending cap set in advance.
