Ice Fishing glossary

Bets and routes

All Bonuses

A shortcut bet placing a chip on all three fish routes at once. Convenient rather than discounted: three separate bets at three sub-96% returns.

Leaf 1 / Leaf 2

The two base bets, 23 segments each. Mathematically identical, never both winning, and the highest published return at 97.10%.

Segment

One of the 53 divisions on the wheel. Forty-six are leaf, seven are fish.

Returns and cost

Blended RTP

The stake-weighted average return across a spread of bets. A Leaf base with a small Lil’ Blues chip blends to about 96.77%.

House edge

One hundred per cent minus RTP — the share of turnover the operator keeps over the long run. 2.90% on Leaf, 4.83% on Huge Reds.

RTP

Return to player: the share of total stakes a bet returns over a very long run. Ice Fishing publishes a separate figure for each of its five bets.

Turnover

Everything staked across a session, not the amount deposited. House edge applies to turnover, which is why round speed matters.

Volatility

How widely results scatter around the average. Leaf bets are low, bonus routes are high, and both can share a similar RTP.

The wheel and the round

Leaf boost

A 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x or 10x multiplier assigned to a single leaf segment before the spin. Pays that multiple of your stake, stake not returned.

Live game show

A casino format streamed from a studio with a presenter, where the outcome is drawn by a certified RNG rather than by the presenter.

Round cap

The maximum a single round pays regardless of multiple — 500,000 in table currency for Ice Fishing.

Wheel multiplier

A 2x to 10x value assigned to a fish segment before the spin. It scales every fish inside the bonus round, not your stake.
