Ice Fishing — Bet Spots & Bonus Rounds
Ice Fishing's bet spots — the Leaf bets plus the Lil'Blues, Big Oranges and Huge Reds bonus rounds — explained. The in-game rules panel holds the exact payouts.
Pair this with our how to play Ice Fishing steps for the full picture.
How Each Bet Spot Pays
Where each spot sits on the 53-segment wheel, what the round can pay, and what it costs you in return.
Leaf 1 & Leaf 2 (base bets)
How It Triggers
The wheel stops on the leaf number you backed.
What Happens
The two instant-payout bets carry the game. Between them they cover most of the 53-segment wheel, so a leaf result lands frequently. Once betting closes, one random segment may be assigned a Leaf multiplier of 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x or 10x — if that segment wins, the instant payout scales with it.
Multipliers
Even-money base. One random segment may carry a Leaf multiplier of 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x or 10x.
Strategy
Leaf bets return 97.10%, the best on the game. Sit here for staying power and back a bonus spot only when you want the swing.
| Bet type | Even money |
| RTP | 97.10% |
| Leaf mult. | 3x / 4x / 5x / 7x / 10x |
| Variance | Low |
| Segments | 46 of 53 |
Lil' Blues Bonus
How It Triggers
The wheel stops on one of the four Lil' Blues segments.
What Happens
The show cuts to the Arctic fishing scene and the host reels in a catch, revealing the multiplier a piece at a time. If the Lil' Blues segments picked up a wheel multiplier before the spin, every fish value in the round is raised first. You take part only if you backed the spot beforehand.
Multipliers
Fish multipliers run 3x to 100x, raised by any wheel multiplier on the segment.
Strategy
The gentlest of the bonus bets. Lower ceiling, but it triggers more often than Big Oranges or Huge Reds.
| Segments | 4 |
| Fish mult. | 3x – 100x |
| RTP | 95.69% |
| Variance | Medium |
| Scene | Live fishing |
Big Oranges Bonus
How It Triggers
The wheel stops on one of the two Big Oranges segments.
What Happens
A step up from Lil’ Blues. The same live fishing round plays out, but the fish carry bigger multiplier values. A wheel multiplier on the Big Oranges segments — anything from 2x up to 10x — raises every fish value before the host starts reeling.
Multipliers
Fish multipliers run 4x to 200x, raised by any wheel multiplier on the segments.
Strategy
The middle bonus bet. Higher ceiling than Lil’ Blues at the cost of a slightly lower RTP (95.60%).
| Segments | 2 |
| Fish mult. | 4x – 200x |
| RTP | 95.60% |
| Variance | High |
| Scene | Live fishing |
Huge Reds Bonus
How It Triggers
The wheel stops on the single Huge Reds segment.
What Happens
The headline bonus and the route to the advertised ceiling. The fish carry the largest values on the game, and a wheel multiplier of up to 10x on the triggering segment lifts every one of them before the round begins.
Multipliers
Fish multipliers run 10x to 500x. With a 10x wheel multiplier on the segment, this is where the 5,000x ceiling sits.
Strategy
Highest ceiling, lowest RTP (95.17%). Back it for the shot at the top end, but keep the stake small — it lands the least often of the three.
| Segments | 1 |
| Fish mult. | 10x – 500x |
| RTP | 95.17% |
| Variance | Very high |
| Game ceiling | 5,000x |
All Bonuses
How It Triggers
The wheel stops on any bonus segment — blue, orange or red.
What Happens
One bet that covers every bonus segment on the wheel instead of picking a colour. Evolution lists it alongside the three individual bonus spots. Whichever bonus lands, you are in the round; the fishing scene and the multiplier reveal play out exactly the same way.
Multipliers
Whatever the triggered round pays — 3x to 100x, 4x to 200x or 10x to 500x, plus any wheel multiplier on those segments.
Strategy
The broad-brush option. You enter bonus rounds far more often than a Huge Reds-only bettor, but most of those rounds will be the cheaper Lil’ Blues. Check the Payouts panel for the stake required at your table.
| Covers | All bonus segments |
| Rounds | Lil' Blues, Big Oranges, Huge Reds |
| Fish mult. | 3x – 500x |
| Variance | Medium-high |
| Payouts | In-game Payouts panel |
What the Wheel Multipliers Actually Do
They land after betting closes, and they work differently on the leaf bets than on the bonus spots. Getting this backwards is the most common misread of the game.
Leaf multipliers hit one segment. Evolution assigns a multiplier of 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x or 10x to a single random wheel segment. If the pointer stops there and you backed that leaf, your instant payout scales with it. If it stops anywhere else, the multiplier simply never existed as far as your chips are concerned.
Bonus multipliers hit a whole colour. This is the part that catches people out. A bonus multiplier is not applied to one segment — it goes on every segment tied to one bonus type, and the value can be 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x or 10x. So a boosted Huge Reds is boosted on its segment; a boosted Lil' Blues is boosted on all four of hers.
The boost lands before the fishing starts. If a bonus segment with a multiplier wins, every fish multiplier in that round is raised first, then the host starts reeling. You are not watching a multiplier get applied at the end — you are watching a round that was already inflated before the first fish moved.
This is where the advertised ceiling comes from. Huge Reds fish top out at 500x on their own. Put a 10x wheel multiplier on that segment, land it, and catch the biggest fish in the round, and you arrive at the 5,000x Evolution puts on the poster. Three rare things in a row, not one.
Nothing about it is predictable. The multiplier assignment happens after the betting window shuts, so you cannot bet into a boosted segment on purpose. You place chips, the game decorates the wheel, then it spins. Anyone telling you to watch for patterns in which colour gets boosted is describing a coincidence.
