Ice Fishing: every number, on one site
Evolution’s 53-segment money wheel. Five bets with five different published returns, three fishing bonus rounds and a 5,000x ceiling — each with its own page and the arithmetic shown.
Ice Fishing is a money wheel, not a slot. There are no reels and no paylines, which is the first thing to unlearn if your casino filed it beside the slots.
Unlike a slot it does not publish one return figure. It publishes five, one per bet, and the gap between the highest and the lowest is 1.93 percentage points — two thirds again on top of the cheapest bet in the game. Choosing between them is the only decision this game asks of you, and it is a real one.

The wheel, drawn to spec
Drawn to the published split. The 46 green leaf segments cover 86.8% of the wheel;
the seven coloured fish segments are the only way into a bonus round.
Forty-six of 53 segments are leaf, so the wheel resolves without a bonus round 86.79% of the time. The seven fish segments carry the entire top of the paytable and also the lowest published returns. That pairing is not a coincidence: the house charges for access to large multipliers by paying back slightly less on the routes that reach them. Hit rate per segment.
How a round runs
Betting opens
Ten to fifteen seconds to place chips on Leaf 1, Leaf 2, any of the three fish routes, or the All Bonuses shortcut covering all three.
Multipliers are dealt
After betting closes the RNG boosts random segments. You can see them but can no longer act on them.
The wheel resolves
One of 53 segments wins. A leaf result settles immediately.
A bonus opens, or does not
A fish result moves play to the ice hole, but only for players holding that exact route.
Payout
1:1 returns your stake plus the same again. Any multiplier win pays the multiplier instead of returning the stake. The full rules.
