How to Play Fishing Club 2

Fishing Club 2 is a fishing-themed instant-win game by BGaming. Fishing Club 2 is not a slot and not a crash game, though Fishing Club 2 borrows elements from both. You pick a location, choose your bait (which determines your risk level), place a bet, and cast your line. Each catch awards a multiplier that gets applied to your stake.

Here are the numbers that matter:

• RTP: 97.16% — verified in BGaming's official documentation
• Max Win: x3,000 your stake
• Volatility: Medium-low
• Risk Levels: 5 (each tied to a bait type)
• Locations: 3 scenic lakes
• Bonus Games: Fishing Net (up to 60x) and TNT (up to 100x)

The game runs on a certified RNG, so every cast is independent of the last. There's no skill element in the catches themselves — the strategy comes from managing your risk level, bet size, and session length. I'll cover all of that below.

Fishing Club 2 offers 5 risk levels, and each one is tied to a specific bait type. This isn't just flavor text — the risk level fundamentally changes how your session plays out. The RTP stays at 97.16% across all levels, but the win distribution shifts dramatically.

How the 5 Risk Levels Work

Here's what I've observed from my testing:

• Level 1 (Lowest Risk): You'll catch something on most casts, but the multipliers tend to stay small — think 1x to 5x range. Level 1 suits beginners learning the Fishing Club 2 interface, with most casts returning 1x to 5x multipliers.
• Level 2: Slightly fewer catches but with better multiplier potential. Level 2 reduces catch frequency by approximately 10-15% compared to Level 1, while typical multipliers increase to the 3x-10x range.
• Level 3 (Medium): The balanced option. You'll see a mix of empty casts and decent catches. Multipliers can reach the 10x to 50x range more regularly.
• Level 4: Noticeably more dry spells, but when fish bite, they tend to carry bigger multipliers. This is where I've seen most of my bonus triggers.
• Level 5 (Highest Risk): Lots of empty casts. When something hits, catches at Level 5 can reach 100x+ multipliers. I've personally hit a 660x multiplier on Level 5, but I've also gone 30+ casts without a single catch. Not for the impatient.

Important: You can switch risk levels between casts. You don't have to commit to one level for an entire session. I often start at Level 2 to build my balance slightly, then move to Level 4 when I'm in profit. More on that in the strategies guide.

Once your bet is set and your bait is selected, press the cast button. The game animates your line going into the water, and within a couple of seconds you'll either catch a fish or get an empty cast (no catch).

Each fish species in the game carries a specific multiplier. Smaller, more common fish give lower multipliers; larger, rarer fish give higher ones. The paytable shows you exactly what each fish is worth.

The Paytable

You can access the full paytable from the game's menu. It lists every fish species, their multiplier values at each risk level, and their relative rarity. I recommend checking this before your first real-money session.

The higher-value portion of the paytable is where things get interesting. These are the fish that can deliver 50x, 100x, or even larger multipliers. They're rare at every risk level, but at Level 4 and 5, they appear more frequently relative to smaller catches.

Key point: Empty casts aren't wasted bet money in the traditional sense. The RTP of 97.16% accounts for all outcomes including empty casts. The game is designed so that the occasional big catch compensates for the dry spells. Understanding this helped me stay patient during sequences of no-catch rounds.

Fishing Club 2 includes an autoplay feature that lets you set up automatic casts. This is useful when you want to play at a steady pace without clicking each time, but it requires proper configuration to avoid burning through your bankroll.

Autoplay Settings You Should Use

• Number of Rounds: Set a specific number rather than unlimited. I typically use 50 or 100 rounds to keep sessions manageable.
• Loss Limit: This is the most important setting. Set a maximum loss amount that stops autoplay if reached. I set mine at 20-30% of my session bankroll.
• Win Limit: If your balance increases by this amount, autoplay stops. I usually set this at 50-100% of my starting balance for the session.

Warning: Never run autoplay without a loss limit set. I learned this the hard way during one of my first sessions. The game can go through long stretches of empty casts at higher risk levels, and without a loss limit, you might not notice your balance draining until it's too late.

During autoplay, the game still triggers bonus rounds normally. You won't miss out on Fishing Net or TNT features by using autospins. The game pauses briefly to show bonus animations before continuing.

You can find the RTP display in the game's information section. It confirms the 97.16% Return to Player value. But I want to be clear about what this number means and what it doesn't mean.

RTP of 97.16% means that over millions of rounds played by all players collectively, the game returns 97.16 cents for every dollar wagered. It does NOT mean you'll get back 97.16% of your money in any individual session. Short sessions can and will deviate significantly from this number.

In my testing, I've had sessions that returned over 200% of my wagered amount, and sessions where I lost 80% of my starting bankroll. That's the nature of a medium-low volatility game with this RTP. The 97.16% is a long-run statistical average, not a per-session guarantee.

The 2.84% house edge (100% - 97.16%) is what the casino keeps over time. Compared to most slots that sit at 95-96% RTP, Fishing Club 2's 97.16% is genuinely above average. That said, the house always has an edge — don't let the favorable RTP trick you into thinking you'll win long-term.
