Renowned iGaming content provider, TaDa Gaming, is taking players on a deep dive to immersive play in latest Fishing-Shooting release Ocean Hunter. Adding to the thrilling gameplay, multipliers to 1000x and a host of underwater creatures offering significant bonuses are circling the Ocean Hunter and his net.

With Fishing-Shooting games, there are no paylines or reels, the whole screen is the game. Ocean Hunter enables players to play from the position of the Hunter on his boat; and in a change to cannon and ammo fire, a high speed net is cast, ready to capture anything and everything within the vicintity for even bigger rewards. Plus, every cast of the net adds to the Energy Bar Accumulator, building up to activate the Free Electric Net feature.

The ocean floor is a busy place for the Hunter as schools of fish, shivers of sharks and pods of whales race past. Whether Hammerhead or Razor Shark or Killer Whales, net one of these giants and trigger the Rainbow Feature for wins of 2x for sharks and 3x for whales.

Ocean Hunter is a game of strategy and skill. The settings allow for players to single out their chosen creatures by bonus value or multiplier level and fully personalise their experiences.

Multiple choice is offered with three rooms – Newbie, Joy and Honor, each with different volatilities from low, medium to high, different Lucky Wheel rewards from 500x, 750x to a max of 1000x but all offering both solo and multiplayer capabilities for social gaming opportunities.

Every click has the chance to trigger the Lucky Wheel with up to 1000x depending on which room players choose. In addition, between one and four additional multipliers of 2x, 3x and 5x are randomly applied to segments of the wheel to take the rewards even higher.

Each successful catch sees showers of gold coins pour down the screen and stack up in towers on the win counter, creating a magical visual display and recreating the feel of the casino or arcade.

Enhanced with a Sixties style “perfect pop” soundtrack and TaDa’s signature fine detail, high quality graphics and cinematic animations, the underwater hunt is the place to be this November.

Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Fishing-Shooting games are known for being easy to grasp and getting more strategic the deeper in players get. Ocean Hunter delivers this style of play in a mobile first, fast paced and exciting adventure. It’s a great introduction for those new to Fishing-Shooting and an immersive challenge for more experienced players.”

Tabcorp Holdings Limited (Tabcorp) has paid a $262,920 penalty for taking online in-play sports bets, which is illegal in Australia.

An Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) investigation found Tabcorp accepted 854 in-play bets across 69 tennis matches between April and October 2023.

Online in-play betting—wagers made on a sporting event after it has commenced—is prohibited in Australia under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.

Authority member Carolyn Lidgerwood said the ban on online in-play betting is in place to protect vulnerable people.

“In-play betting increases access to gambling opportunities and exacerbates the risks of gambling harm, as people can place bets with high frequency on multiple outcomes during sporting events,” Ms Lidgerwood said.

“There has been significant growth in online sports betting in recent years and it’s important all online wagering services have systems in place so that illegal in-play bets are not accepted.”

During the investigation Tabcorp reported that the breaches occurred due to a technical “bug” in its systems. While the error first occurred in April 2023, it was not fixed until October 2023.

“Tabcorp is a major wagering operator and it is concerning that it took some 6 months for the system error to be identified and fixed,” Ms Lidgerwood said.

In addition to paying the $262,920 penalty, Tabcorp has also advised the ACMA of controls it now has in place and future steps it will be taking to minimise the risk of online in-play bets being accepted.

In its consideration of this matter the ACMA also took into account that Tabcorp had voided all bets so consumers did not suffer any loss and Tabcorp did not profit from the errors.

Tabcorp was previously issued a formal warning by the ACMA in November 2021 for accepting in-play bets on a United States college basketball game.
