Explore Microgaming gamesFighting Fish is a historical five-reel Microgaming slot built around an underwater boxing match. This guide covers the desktop edition shown in the original gameplay and rules screenshots below. Its controls allow 1–30 active paylines and a separate coins-per-line setting. The red and blue fish are reel-specific substitutes; their joint appearance starts a short re-spin sequence.

Bet settings and coin units
The archived gameplay screen shows 30 lines, 10 coins per line and a total bet of 300 coins. At the displayed 0.01 coin value, that is a 3.00 currency-unit spin: 30 × 10 × 0.01. The separate rules screenshot uses the same line and coin settings with a 0.25 coin value, producing a 75.00 currency-unit stake. These are examples from two pictured settings, not verified minimum or maximum currency stakes for every version.
How line wins and scatter wins are calculated
The rules screen distinguishes two payout bases. Ordinary line awards are multiplied by the coins staked on that line. The boxing-ring scatter award is multiplied by the total coins staked across all active lines. Converting either coin result to money requires one further multiplication by the selected coin value.
| Award | Calculation in coins |
|---|---|
| Payline win | Relevant paytable award × coins per line |
| Boxing-ring scatter | Relevant scatter award × total coins staked |
| Currency return | Coin award × selected coin value |
For a purely illustrative award of 5, a 30-line spin with two coins per line and a 0.10 coin value costs 6.00. A line award of 5 would return 5 × 2 × 0.10 = 1.00; a scatter award of 5 would return 5 × 60 × 0.10 = 30.00. This demonstrates the different units; it does not certify a particular symbol’s paytable value.
Ordinary symbol combinations pay from left to right. The boxing ring is the exception and can pay in scattered positions. Only the highest win on an individual selected line is paid, but wins on different selected lines are added. Scatter awards are also added to line awards. The pictured rules do not display the complete symbol-award table, so this guide does not reproduce unverified numerical symbol rows or a maximum-win claim.
Red and blue fish re-spins
The red fish appears on reel two and the blue fish on reel four. Both substitute for ordinary symbols, but not the scattered boxing ring. When both fish appear on their respective reels in the same spin, the game awards three re-spins.
Before the re-spins, the player picks either fish for the bout. If the chosen fish wins, the feature prizes are doubled. The two fish expand to cover all three positions on their triggering reels, while the other reels spin three times. The feature keeps the lines and bet of the triggering game, and its winnings are added to the triggering line and scatter awards. The rules screenshot does not state the probability of either fish winning; choosing a colour should not be described as a guaranteed strategy or a proven 50–50 bet.
Optional gamble feature
After a win, the gamble option asks for a card colour or suit. A correct colour prediction doubles the amount risked; a correct suit prediction returns four times it. An incorrect prediction loses the amount gambled. For example, risking a 2.00 win on colour can return 4.00, which is 2.00 more than collecting the original win. Risking the same 2.00 on a correct suit can return 8.00, a 6.00 increase. These are total returns, not additional prizes on top of a retained 2.00. Collecting avoids putting that win at risk.
Edition and availability
These screenshots document the older desktop game rather than confirm that a current casino offers it. A listing, logo or historical review does not establish present country availability, stake limits or the rules of another release. The screenshots inspected here do not show an RTP declaration, so no independently verified RTP is assigned to this edition in this guide. Check the actual game’s help and paytable for the version supplied by an operator.
Fighting Fish questions
Does a bet display of 300 mean a 300 currency-unit spin?
No. In the archived screen it is 300 coins. At a 0.01 coin value the stake is 3.00; at 0.25 it is 75.00.
Are all 30 paylines compulsory?
No. The inspected rules specify 1–30 lines. The total stake changes with the number selected, coins per line and coin value.
Can either fish appear on any reel?
No. The red fish is assigned to reel two and the blue fish to reel four in this edition.
Does the boxing ring trigger the re-spins?
No. The joint appearance of both fish triggers three re-spins. The boxing ring is the scatter-paying symbol.
Do the expanded fish replace the boxing ring?
No. The substitute rule excludes that scatter symbol, including when the fish occupy the full triggering reels.
Is a correct suit gamble four times the win in extra profit?
No. It returns four times the amount risked in total. On a 2.00 gamble that is an 8.00 return, or 6.00 more than the original win.
