For players who wondered what happened to Jaws the killer shark, look no further than Happy Fishing Lightning. Proving its reputation as the number one provider for Fishing-Shooting games, TaDa Gaming delivers an exhilarating underwater adventure to individual and multiplayers alike, with up to four players going head to head in its latest arcade release.

A colourful and light filled underwater world of shipwrecks and abandoned cities is home to a glorious collection of fish and sea creatures, each with an individual bonus, multiplier or prize to deliver to anyone with good aim.

From beautiful Starfish and Clown Fish to Bomb Crabs and Immortal Boss, Jaws, players boom, blast and bazooka their way to the Mega Octopus Wheel for multipliers of 100x, to an almighty 950x in the Golden Wheel Bonus Game.

Happy Fishing Lightning takes all the best features and bonuses of classic arcade games and adds a joyful Calypso soundtrack. Until Jaws, the Immortal Boss swims into view. This is when players reach for their Special Torpedo Weapon which can increase the win by up to 6x, or access the Free Thunderbolt feature with its Bonus pay outs.

Destroy the Starfish and create a whirlpool of additional wins as everything round the Starfish disappears into the vortex. The Bomb Crab will explode an additional three bombs as it expires, creating more winning opportunities from the surrounding fish species.

Offering straightforward gameplay options through an intuitive interface, players choose a room from ‘Newbie’; ‘Joy’; and ‘Honor’; each with the option for single or multiplayer occupancy and a different volatility from low to medium to high. The Autoplay feature, alongside the option to specify target creatures by multiplier, win value or just on appearance, means players are fully in control in Happy Fishing Lightning.

Giving players the opportunity to practise and learn is a TaDa signature. Additionally, the clear paytable and on-screen tips and warnings show players how to choose and target strategically in this game of skill and hand-eye co-ordination.

Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Happy Fishing Lightning is our tenth Fishing-Shooting arcade release and each one just gets better. Bigger bonuses, more strategic gameplay, variety in ways to win and the option to personalise the game to suit player preferences are all TaDa hallmarks. Add in our signature crisp graphics and cinematic animations and this really does make Happy Fishing Lightning a superb game.”
