Every cast in Harbor Heist spends bait and brings up one catch, picked at random. These are the chances of each catch on a single cast. Bait you buy with real money casts exactly like bait you earn in the game: buying bait never changes the odds.

How a cast is picked
- Each cast is drawn on its own. Earlier casts never change the next one, and there is no streak or counter that guarantees a catch.
- Bait size: from harbor 3, the BAIT plate lets you raise the bait size to x2, x3, x5, x10, x15, x25 or x50, as far as your bait covers it. A cast at xN costs N bait and multiplies what that cast pays by N. Bait size never changes the chances in the table.
- The tutorial: the first casts of a new game are set up to teach it. Your first cast brings up a map bottle, your first raid is guided and your first heist always hits.
Heists
A cannon crab sends Nicks to a rival captain’s harbor, where you pick one building to hit. Against a captain run by the game, there is a 30% chance that a life ring blocks the heist. Against another player, the heist is blocked when that player holds a life ring, and the ring is used up. A blocked heist pays little or nothing. The coins from a hit vary from heist to heist, between 0.8 and 1.3 times the usual amount, and grow with your bait size and your harbor.
Raids
A map bottle takes you to a rival captain’s lake for one cast and one fight. Which fish bites is random, among the fish of that lake. Landing it is up to you: cast into the sweet spot, then hold the reel and mind the tension. A fish you land takes a share of the rival’s stash, shown at the top of the screen.
