Ice Fishing by Evolution Gaming combines a traditional money wheel with an innovative fishing mechanic that makes it stand out from other live dealer games. The game uses a physical 53-segment wheel, and when it stops on one of three bonus segments, players who bet on that bonus type enter an interactive fishing round.
Before each spin, random multipliers from 3x to 10x appear on Leaf 1 and Leaf 2 segments - these multiply your base 1:1 payout. For example, landing on Leaf 1 with a 10x multiplier gives you a 9:1 payout instead of the standard 1:1. Bonus segments can also receive 2x-10x multipliers that multiply every fish multiplier in the bonus game.
When you trigger Lil' Blues, Big Oranges, or Huge Reds, fish swim across the screen displaying their multiplier values. The Evolution Gaming dealer then reels in the catch using a fishing rod - the tension builds as the rod bends and the fish slowly emerges from the ice hole. As more of the fish is revealed, the multiplier value increases, with larger fish offering higher multipliers. This creates anticipation since you don't know the final multiplier until the fish is completely pulled out.
Multiplier Stacking: If the bonus segment had a wheel multiplier when you triggered the bonus, all fish multipliers are multiplied by that value before the dealer starts reeling. A 10x wheel multiplier on Lil' Blues combined with a 50x fish can result in a 500x total payout on your bonus bet.
With 23 Leaf 1 and 23 Leaf 2 segments making up 46 of the 53 total segments, these bets hit frequently but offer lower payouts of 1:1 to 9:1 depending on multipliers. The bonus segments are rarer: 4 Lil' Blues segments give you approximately 7.5% hit rate, 2 Big Oranges segments give 3.8%, and 1 Huge Reds segment offers just 1.9% chance per spin. The bonus bet limits reflect this - you can bet up to $10,000 on Leaf segments but only $500 on Huge Reds.
The All Bonuses betting spot lets you place the same bet amount on all three bonus types simultaneously. This saves time clicking individual spots and ensures you're eligible for any bonus trigger, but requires three times the bankroll of betting a single bonus type.
Ice Fishing offers a 97.10% optimal RTP when betting on Leaf 1 or Leaf 2 - this is higher than most Evolution Gaming money wheels. The bonus bets have slightly lower theoretical returns before the $500,000 payout cap is applied:
| Bet Type | RTP Uncapped | RTP Capped (Max Bet) |
|---|---|---|
| Leaf 1 | 97.10% | 97.10% |
| Leaf 2 | 97.10% | 97.10% |
| Lil' Blues | 95.69% | 95.15% |
| Big Oranges | 95.60% | 95.00% |
| Huge Reds | 95.17% | 94.55% |
The capped RTP only affects players betting maximum amounts. For example, a maximum $500 bet on Huge Reds with a 500x multiplier would theoretically pay $250,000, but the $500,000 cap means if you had other bets that round, your total win might be reduced proportionally.
Leaf segments pay according to the formula: (multiplier value - 1) as the profit. A $100 bet on Leaf 2 with a 7x multiplier returns $700 total ($600 profit plus your $100 bet back). The displayed multiplier is the total multiplier applied to your bet amount.
Bonus fish multipliers work differently - they directly multiply your bonus bet with no reduction. A $50 bet on Big Oranges catching a 150x fish pays $7,500 total. If that bonus segment also had a 5x wheel multiplier, all fish multipliers are multiplied first, so a 30x fish becomes 150x before you catch it.
Ice Fishing is streamed live from Evolution Gaming's professional studio with HD video quality. The game features a dedicated presenter who spins the physical wheel, operates the fishing rod during bonus games, and interacts with players through the chat function. The winter fishing theme is brought to life with a detailed set design including snow-covered ground, wooden structures, ice holes, and continuous falling snow animation.
The game interface includes traffic light betting indicators showing when betting is open (green), nearly closed (yellow), or closed (red). The betting timer counts down the seconds remaining to place bets each round. Players can use chip values from $0.10 to $100, with controls for Repeat (last round's bets), Double (all current bets), and Undo (remove bets one by one or hold to clear all).
Evolution Gaming provides multi-game play functionality on desktop, allowing you to join multiple Ice Fishing tables or other Evolution live games simultaneously in the same browser window. The statistics panel displays recent results as colored circles indicating which segment won and any multipliers that appeared.
Ice Fishing supports autoplay for 5, 9, 25, 50, or 100 rounds. You place your bets manually once, select your desired number of rounds, and the system automatically repeats those exact bets for the chosen number of spins. The autoplay badge shows remaining rounds. If you modify bets during autoplay, the game asks for confirmation to continue with changed bets or stop autoplay. This feature benefits players who want consistent betting without clicking each round.
Evolution Gaming designed Ice Fishing to work seamlessly on mobile devices with touch controls for bet placement, chip selection, and all menu functions. The game automatically adjusts its layout for portrait or landscape orientation. Statistics, chat, and settings panels overlay the game area on mobile rather than appearing side-by-side as on desktop.
Browser Warning: Evolution Gaming advises not to minimize your browser or open other tabs while betting time remains and you have active bets. Such actions may be interpreted as leaving the game, resulting in declined bets for that round.
Number keys 1-6 select chip denominations from lowest to highest value. Spacebar repeats your last bet, pressing it a second time doubles all bets. CTRL+Z, CMD+Z, Delete, or Backspace undo the last bet, holding for 3 seconds removes all bets. ESC closes pop-up windows and exits fullscreen mode. These shortcuts enable faster bet placement for experienced players.
Each Ice Fishing round receives a unique game number in HH:MM:SS format based on GMT time when the round started. This identifier appears on screen and in your game history, which you can reference when contacting Evolution Gaming customer support about specific rounds. The history window shows your past bets, results, and payouts.
If you disconnect during a game round, all placed bets remain valid and are settled in your absence. When you reconnect, check the history window to view outcomes. This protection ensures you don't lose bets due to internet connectivity issues. If an error occurs in the game system or procedure, the dealer notifies the service manager and players receive updates via chat or pop-up messages. Unresolvable errors result in the round being cancelled with all bets refunded.
Your current balance displays prominently at the bottom left of the screen in yellow-gold text. The total bet indicator shows your combined bet across all spots for the current round. Evolution Gaming's interface only enables chip denominations you can afford with your current balance, preventing accidental overbetting.
When you reach maximum bet limit on any spot, a message appears above that spot notifying you no additional funds will be accepted. The bet limits vary by type: Leaf bets allow up to $10,000, Lil' Blues up to $2,500, Big Oranges up to $1,000, and Huge Reds up to $500 per round.
Players should set personal limits on time and money spent. Evolution Gaming provides reality check reminders, session time limits, and self-exclusion options in your account settings. Ice Fishing's live format means rounds occur continuously, so monitor your total betting amounts across multiple rounds.
