How to win on fish tables in Ohio
- Read the payout cycle — only push hard during a paying (spit) phase; coast during an eating phase.
- Farm turtles and send-score fish near the cannon for steady value.
- Prioritise multiplier and bonus fish — that is where the money is made.
- Aim weak spots (gills and fins), using 2-3 shot bursts parallel to the fish.
- Let the room soften bosses, then take the Dragon King kill with a big cannon.
- Protect your bankroll with a firm stop-win and stop-loss.
Discipline, timing and target choice put you near the top of the payout band — that is where money is made.
