Mermaid Fishing is not your average slot. It's a full underwater shooting arcade where you aim, fire, and collect — with mermaid multipliers, torpedo cannons, and jackpot sea creatures that can pay out hundreds of times your bet in a single catch.
Most games in the Dhoni 88 library are slot-based — you spin, symbols land, and the game calculates your win automatically. Mermaid Fishing works differently. It's a shooting arcade game where you control a cannon at the bottom of the screen, aim at fish and sea creatures swimming across the display, and fire to catch them. Each creature you catch pays out a coin reward based on its type and rarity. The more powerful your cannon, the more likely you are to catch high-value targets — but more powerful shots also cost more per fire.
The game is set in a vivid underwater world with animated coral reefs, schools of fish moving in formation, and occasional rare creatures drifting across the screen. The visual quality is noticeably high for a mobile-first game, and it runs smoothly on mid-range Android devices without lag or frame drops, which is important for a game where timing your shots matters.
Mermaid Fishing has been one of the more popular titles at Dhoni 88 since it was added to the lobby, and it's easy to understand why. The shooting mechanic gives you a sense of agency that pure slot games don't offer — you're making decisions on every shot, choosing targets, managing your cannon level, and deciding when to go after the big jackpot creatures versus grinding smaller fish for steady returns.
You tap or click anywhere on the screen to aim your cannon and fire. Each shot costs a set number of coins depending on your current cannon level. When a shot hits a creature, there's a probability- based calculation that determines whether you catch it. Smaller, slower fish have a higher catch rate, while rare creatures like the Mermaid Queen or the Dragon Turtle are harder to land even with a high-level cannon. When you do catch a creature, the coin reward appears on screen and is added to your balance instantly.
The cannon level system is central to how you play. At level 1, each shot costs ৳1 and deals low damage. At level 6, each shot costs ৳50 but deals enough damage to reliably catch mid-tier creatures and give you a real chance at the jackpot targets. Most experienced players at Dhoni 88 settle into a rhythm of using a mid-level cannon for regular fish and bumping up to the highest level when a rare creature appears on screen.
There's also a rapid-fire mode where you hold down the fire button and the cannon shoots continuously. This is useful for targeting schools of small fish that move quickly across the screen, but it burns through your balance faster, so it's worth using selectively rather than leaving it on the whole time.
The Mermaid is the game's signature creature and the one that gives Mermaid Fishing its name. When a Mermaid appears on screen, catching her doesn't just pay a fixed coin reward — she applies a random multiplier between 3× and 30× to your next catch. If you land the multiplier on a high-value creature immediately after, the combined payout can be substantial. The Mermaid herself appears roughly once every two to three minutes of play, so she's not a constant presence, but when she shows up, it's worth switching to your highest cannon level to maximise the chance of catching her.
There's a secondary version called the Golden Mermaid that appears much less frequently — roughly once every ten to fifteen minutes on average. The Golden Mermaid applies a multiplier between 10× and 50× and also triggers a brief bonus wave where a large school of high-value fish swims across the screen. Catching the Golden Mermaid and then landing several fish during the bonus wave is the scenario that produces the biggest single-session payouts in Mermaid Fishing at Dhoni 88.
Beyond the standard cannon, Mermaid Fishing includes two special weapons that you can activate during play. The Torpedo is a single high-damage shot that costs 10× your current cannon level's base cost but deals enough damage to catch almost any creature on screen, including the Dragon Turtle and the Giant Crab that are otherwise very difficult to land with regular shots. You earn one Torpedo charge every time you catch five creatures in a row without missing, so consistent accurate shooting is rewarded.
The second special weapon is the Electric Net, which fires a wide-area shot that hits every creature currently on screen. The Electric Net costs 20× your base cannon cost and doesn't guarantee a catch on every creature — it applies a reduced catch probability to each target simultaneously. In a dense wave with many fish on screen, the Electric Net can catch four or five creatures at once, making it highly efficient when timed correctly. Both special weapons add a layer of tactical decision-making that keeps Mermaid Fishing engaging across longer sessions at Dhoni 88.
Four creatures in Mermaid Fishing are classified as jackpot targets. These are the Dragon Turtle, the Giant Crab, the Whale Shark, and the Kraken. Each one is visually distinct — larger than regular fish, with more elaborate animations — and each pays a fixed jackpot reward when caught. The Dragon Turtle pays 100× your current cannon level's base cost, the Giant Crab pays 150×, the Whale Shark pays 300×, and the Kraken pays 500×. These creatures appear infrequently and move quickly across the screen, so catching them requires either a Torpedo or sustained fire from a high-level cannon.
The Kraken is the rarest and most valuable. It appears roughly once every twenty to thirty minutes of continuous play and crosses the screen in about eight seconds. Most players at Dhoni 88 who have been playing Mermaid Fishing for a while know to keep their Torpedo in reserve specifically for Kraken appearances. Landing a Kraken catch with a Torpedo at cannon level 6 is the single highest-value event the game can produce in a normal session.
Six cannon levels let you match your shot power to the target. Higher levels cost more per shot but dramatically improve your catch rate on rare creatures.
Payouts are multiplied by your current cannon level's base cost. Jackpot creatures pay fixed multipliers regardless of cannon level.
| Icon | Creature | Catch Rate | Payout | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Fish | 78% | 2× – 5× | Common | |
| Clownfish | 70% | 5× – 10× | Common | |
| Reef Shark | 55% | 10× – 20× | Common | |
| Octopus | 45% | 15× – 30× | Rare | |
| Giant Squid | 38% | 25× – 50× | Rare | |
| Mermaid | 35% | 3× – 30× Multiplier | Rare | |
| Dragon Turtle | 22% | 100× Fixed | Epic | |
| Giant Crab | 20% | 150× Fixed | Epic | |
| Golden Mermaid | 18% | 10× – 50× Multiplier | Epic | |
| Whale Shark | 14% | 300× Fixed | Legendary | |
| Kraken | 10% | 500× Fixed | Legendary |
Six mechanics that separate Mermaid Fishing from every other game in the Dhoni 88 lobby.
Unlike slots, you decide where every shot goes. Accurate targeting on high-value creatures improves your session returns. The more you play, the better your timing gets.
Catch the Mermaid to apply a 3×–30× multiplier to your next catch. The Golden Mermaid pushes that to 50× and triggers a bonus fish wave simultaneously.
Earn a Torpedo by catching five creatures in a row. One Torpedo shot deals maximum damage to any single target — your best tool for landing the Kraken or Whale Shark.
Fire a wide-area net that hits every creature on screen at once. Best used during dense fish waves to catch multiple targets in a single activation.
Switch cannon levels on the fly to match your target. Use low levels for grinding common fish and jump to level 6 when a jackpot creature appears on screen.
Tap controls are optimised for one-handed play on Android. The game loads fast on mobile data and runs smoothly on mid-range devices — no Wi-Fi required.

Mermaid Fishing rewards players who think about their shots rather than just tapping randomly. These tips come from experienced players in the Dhoni 88 community.
Don't waste Torpedo charges on common fish. Hold them specifically for Kraken, Whale Shark, or Giant Crab appearances. A Torpedo on a Kraken is the highest expected-value shot in the game.
Use level 1–2 for small fish grinding. Jump to level 5–6 only when a rare or jackpot creature is on screen. Burning level 6 shots on common fish is the fastest way to drain your balance.
The Electric Net is most efficient during dense fish waves. Wait until at least six to eight creatures are on screen before activating it. Using it on a sparse screen wastes the charge.
When the Golden Mermaid appears, switch to your highest cannon level immediately and fire continuously. The 10×–50× multiplier she applies, combined with the bonus fish wave, is the biggest payout opportunity in a normal session.
Decide your session budget before you start and stick to it. Mermaid Fishing can move fast, especially in rapid-fire mode. Knowing your stop point keeps the game enjoyable regardless of how the session goes.
