How Ice Fishing Works
A live host in Evolution's Arctic studio spins the virtual money wheel. Before each spin, random multipliers of up to 10x drop onto selected segments. Where the wheel stops decides what happens next:
- Leaf 1 and Leaf 2 settle instantly. A winning Leaf bet pays 1:1, increased by any multiplier sitting on that segment.
- Lil' Blues, Big Oranges and Huge Reds are the fish segments. Landing on one starts a fishing bonus round: the host reels in a fish and reveals its multiplier — up to 100x on Lil' Blues, 200x on Big Oranges, and 500x on Huge Reds. You don't choose the fish, so it's a reveal round rather than a pick-and-win.
When a multiplier has landed on a fish segment, it applies to every fish in that round. A 500x Huge Reds catch under a 10x boost is how the 5,000x maximum is reached.
All Bonuses is a shortcut bet, not a separate wheel outcome. It covers all three fish spots at once and pays out on whichever fish the wheel lands on.

Bets and Payouts
| Bet | Segments (share of wheel) | Payout | Multiplier range | RTP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leaf 1 | 23 (43.4%) | 1:1 | up to 10x | 97.10% |
| Leaf 2 | 23 (43.4%) | 1:1 | up to 10x | 97.10% |
| Lil' Blues | 4 (7.5%) | Bonus round | 3x–100x | 95.69% |
| Big Oranges | 2 (3.8%) | Bonus round | 4x–200x | 95.60% |
| Huge Reds | 1 (1.9%) | Bonus round | 10x–500x | 95.17% |
Leaf 1 and Leaf 2 are separate positions with identical odds — a bet on one does not cover the other. A winning Leaf returns 2x your stake in total (the 1:1 win plus your stake back), rising to a 10x total return when a multiplier lands on the winning segment.
The three fish segments together (about 13.2% of the wheel) make up the All Bonuses bet. Because the payout depends on which fish lands, All Bonuses has no RTP of its own. Among the three, Lil' Blues triggers most often and Huge Reds is the rarest — but Huge Reds carries the top multipliers, and the 5,000x ceiling runs only through it.
Leaf bets carry the lowest house edge at 2.90%.
Which bet fits your session? Leaf 1 and Leaf 2 are the low-variance choice — they cover most of the wheel and carry the thinnest house edge, so they're the way to stretch a smaller deposit across more rounds. The fish bets are the opposite: long stretches of nothing in exchange for a shot at a big multiplier, with Huge Reds the highest-risk, highest-reward of the three. If you just want to be in every bonus round without picking one, All Bonuses puts a single stake on all three fish spots at once.

FAQ
The wheel you watch is a visual layer over a certified random number generator: the RNG decides where it stops, and neither the host nor the operator can nudge the result. This mechanism guarantees that the published return figures are not just marketing numbers.
No, you choose which segment to back before the round starts, and the live host handles the rest – there's nothing to time or react to mid-round. The only thing worth doing upfront is understanding what each bet covers, since that's where the odds and risk actually differ.
