Golden Fish was released in July 2021 by KA Gaming, a Taiwan-based provider that builds its own math, art, and platform in-house rather than licensing engines from third parties.
- The studio's exact founding year varies across profiles (2014 or 2016), so treat that date loosely.
- KA Gaming is privately held and led by CEO Daniel Huang, according to distributor profiles.
- No official spec sheet from KA Gaming's own site confirms Golden Fish's RTP, volatility, or max win directly.
What KA Gaming Actually Builds
KA Gaming's portfolio leans heavily on two categories: Asian-themed reel slots and fish-shooting arcade games. Golden Fish sits in the overlap between those two lines, using a shooting-adjacent theme wrapped around a standard 5x3, 25-line slot structure rather than arcade gameplay itself.
The studio doesn't operate a single flagship casino brand. Instead, its games reach players through aggregators and platform providers such as SoftGamings, Groove, QTech Games, and Hub88, which package KA Gaming titles alongside dozens of other suppliers for individual operators to pick up.
Release pace is where KA Gaming stands out. Partner profiles describe anywhere from six to more than ten new titles per month, and the studio's own site claims a new batch every other Wednesday. That volume explains why Golden Fish reads as one entry in a large, steadily growing catalogue rather than a standout release.
If you're trying to judge whether a KA Gaming title is trustworthy before playing, the practical check isn't the studio's marketing page — it's whether the casino hosting the game holds a licence you recognize, and whether the demo behaves the same way the real-money version is described to behave.
Canadian players will mostly meet KA Gaming content through offshore or aggregator-supplied casinos rather than through provincially regulated platforms. Ontario's iGaming Ontario framework and other provincial lottery corporations don't appear to list KA Gaming in the sources checked here, so real-money access depends entirely on which operator you choose, not on the studio.

Golden Fish vs Other Titles You Might Confuse It With
A different studio entirely — Amatic's version runs on 10 paylines and different math from KA Gaming's 25-line release.
Same studio, same Asian-luck styling, but built around symbol stacking rather than a fish-catch theme.
Shares the fish subject matter but plays as an arcade shooting game instead of a reel slot.
What Medium Volatility Means Here
medium
Golden Fish is generally labelled medium volatility across the sources that address it. In practice that means sessions tend to avoid the long dry stretches typical of high-volatility slots, but wins also won't regularly hit the kind of large multipliers those higher-variance titles chase. It's a steadier, more predictable pace suited to players who want playtime over big swings.

Questions About KA Gaming and Golden Fish
Is KA Gaming's Golden Fish the same game as Amatic's Golden Fish?
No. They're separate titles from different studios with different paylines and math — don't assume a review of one applies to the other.
Who runs KA Gaming as a company?
Distributor profiles name Daniel Huang as CEO, describing a privately held, Taiwan-based studio; deeper corporate details aren't publicly documented.
Does KA Gaming supply Golden Fish to regulated Ontario or Quebec operators?
That's not confirmed. Provincial regulators reviewed here don't list KA Gaming, so assume availability is limited to aggregator-supplied casinos rather than provincially licensed ones.
How fast does KA Gaming add new titles to its catalogue?
Partner profiles cite roughly six to ten releases a month, with the studio's own site claiming new batches every other Wednesday.
Which platforms bring KA Gaming games like Golden Fish to online casinos?
Aggregators and platform providers such as SoftGamings, Groove, QTech Games, and Hub88 are named as distribution channels, rather than KA Gaming selling directly to each operator.
Does KA Gaming publish an official RTP figure for Golden Fish?
No official spec sheet was found. Third-party listings put it around 94%, with one source citing 96%, so treat the figure as configuration-dependent rather than fixed.
