Ice Fishing Rules in 60 Seconds

  1. Place your bets

    While the timer runs, put chips on Leaf 1, Leaf 2, Lil' Blues, Big Oranges, Huge Reds โ€” or tap All Bonuses to cover all three fish.

  2. Boosts drop in

    After betting closes, one Leaf segment may get a 3xโ€“10x boost, and one fish type may get a 2xโ€“10x boost.

  3. The wheel spins

    The digital wheel stops on one of 53 segments. A Leaf result pays 1:1 to bets on that Leaf (times the boost, if any).

  4. Go fishing

    If a fish segment wins, players with a bet on that fish join the bonus round and win the multiplier of the catch.

Ice Fishing RTP

RTP is the share of all stakes a bet returns over millions of rounds. Ice Fishing's Leaf bets return 97.10% โ€” higher than the best bet in most game shows. The fish bets trade about 1.5 points of RTP for the chance at big multipliers. When the โ‚ฌ500,000 payout cap kicks in on huge wins, bonus RTP can dip to 94.55%.

Max Multiplier and Biggest Wins

Unboosted, the biggest single catch is a 500x Huge Red. Boosts push the ceilings much higher: 999:1 on Lil' Blues, 1,999:1 on Big Oranges and 4,999:1 on Huge Reds โ€” the 5,000x top prize. Public trackers regularly log results in the hundreds of x, while the full 5,000x needs the rarest segment and the biggest boost on the same spin.
