About the game
What is Ice Fishing?
A live money-wheel game show from Evolution released on 6 August 2025. A certified RNG picks one of 53 segments while a host presents from an Arctic studio.
Is Ice Fishing a slot?
No. It is a money wheel with no reels and no paylines. Casinos often file it near their slots, which is where the confusion starts.
Is Ice Fishing rigged?
Outcomes come from a certified RNG and every spin is independent, so previous results carry no information about the next one.
Numbers and odds
What is the RTP?
97.10% on Leaf 1 and Leaf 2; 95.69% on Lil’ Blues, 95.60% on Big Oranges and 95.17% on Huge Reds. Full breakdown.
How many segments are on the wheel?
53 — 23 Leaf 1, 23 Leaf 2, 4 Lil’ Blues, 2 Big Oranges and 1 Huge Reds.
Can you win 5,000x?
It is the published maximum and needs Huge Reds, a 10x wheel multiplier and a 500x catch in the same round. The arithmetic.
Playing
Which bet should a beginner use?
Leaf 1 or Leaf 2. Each covers 43.4% of the wheel at the best published return.
How fast are the rounds?
Roughly 30 to 45 seconds end to end with a 10 to 15 second betting window. About 90 rounds an hour is a reasonable planning figure.
Do I get my stake back when I win?
On an unboosted leaf, yes. On any multiplier win the multiplier replaces the stake, so a 3x boost is a 2:1 net win.
Demo, bets and bonuses
Is there a free demo?
Not an official one. Our 15-second explainer shows the wheel instead, and it is labelled as an explainer rather than the game.
What is the All Bonuses bet?
A shortcut covering all three fish routes in one click. Convenient rather than discounted.
Do casino bonuses work on it?
Usually poorly. Live game shows are commonly weighted at 10% toward wagering. Game weighting explained.
Still not answered?
The pages above go deeper than these answers: rules, RTP and odds, bonus rounds and strategy. If a figure here looks wrong, the editorial address in the footer reaches us and the page gets corrected with a new modified date.
Where do these figures come from?
The published game rules as reproduced by licensed operators. We do not copy RTP tables from other affiliate sites — several circulate figures that contradict the rules.
