The paytable at a glance
| Bet type | Wheel segments | Base payout | With max multiplier | RTP | Hit rate | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leaf 1 | 23 of 53 | 1:1 | up to 10:1 | 97.10% | 43.40% | Low |
| Leaf 2 | 23 of 23 segments of the leaf area (23 of 53) | 1:1 | up to 10:1 | 97.10% | 43.40% | Low |
| Lil' Blues | 4 of 53 | 3:1 – 100:1 | up to 1,000:1 | 95.69% | 7.55% | Medium |

How the wheel multipliers change each line
| Area | How many segments | Possible multipliers | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leaf 1 / Leaf 2 | One random leaf segment | 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x or 10x | Pays up to 10:1 if the flapper stops on the boosted leaf |
| Bonus segments | All segments linked to one bonus type | 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x or 10x | Every fish multiplier inside that bonus is multiplied by the same value |
Two things follow from that table. A leaf bet can pay up to 10:1, but only if the flapper stops on the exact leaf segment that received the boost — the other 45 leaf segments pay 1:1. And a bonus bet can pay up to ten times its normal ceiling, because every fish in the round is multiplied by the same value.
Bonus-round payouts
| Bonus game | Segments | Fish multipliers | Max with 10x wheel boost | Max bet | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lil' Blues | 4 | 3x – 100x | 1,000x | €2,500 | Small blue fish swim under the ice; the host reels in one catch. |
| Big Oranges | 2 | 4x – 200x | 2,000x | €1,000 | A bigger, slower fish — fewer bites, larger average multipliers. |
| Huge Reds | 1 | 10x – 500x | 5,000x | €500 | The rarest catch. A red fish with the highest multiplier range in the game. |

Five worked examples
€1 on Leaf 1 and €1 on Leaf 2. The wheel stops on an unboosted Leaf 1 segment. Leaf 1 returns €2 (stake plus €1 profit), Leaf 2 loses. Net result: €0 on a €2 stake. This is the most common outcome in the game and it is why a leaf session drifts sideways for long stretches.
Same €2 stake, but a 7x multiplier was assigned to a Leaf 2 segment and the flapper stops there. Leaf 2 pays 7:1 — €7 profit plus the €1 stake back — while Leaf 1 loses. Net profit: €6.
€2 on the leaves plus €1 on Lil' Blues. The wheel stops on Lil' Blues with no wheel boost and the fish comes out at 34x. The bonus pays €34; both leaf chips lose. Net profit: €31 on a €3 stake.
The same €3 stake, but the Lil' Blues segments received a 5x wheel multiplier. The fish at 34x becomes 170x, so the bonus bet pays €170. Net profit: €167.
€1 on Huge Reds with a 10x wheel boost and a 500x fish: 5,000x the stake, or €5,000 from a €1 chip. Hit a stake where that would exceed €500,000 and the payout is capped instead. This is roughly a one-in-fifty-three shot at the segment, multiplied by the chance of a top fish and a 10x boost — which is why it is the defining moment of the game rather than an expectation.
Payout speed and settlement
Leaf wins are credited the moment the flapper settles. Bonus wins are credited when the fish breaks the surface. Both are automatic: there is no claim button, and winnings appear in your casino balance immediately, so you can switch tables or request a withdrawal right away.
Caps, limits and rounding
- €500,000 per round — The hard cap on any single round, whatever the stake and multiplier.
- €0.10 minimum — The smallest chip accepted on every bet spot.
- Per-spot maximums — €10,000 (leaves), €2,500 (Lil' Blues), €1,000 (Big Oranges), €500 (Huge Reds).
- Operator ceilings — Many casinos set their own lower maximum — always check the chip selector.
- Currency conversion — At non-euro operators the equivalent limits are shown in your account currency.
Where to play for the best payout experience
Worked examples: five rounds from start to settlement
Round one: €1 on each leaf, nothing else. The flapper stops on Leaf 2 with a 3x boost active. Your Leaf 2 bet returns €3 profit plus the stake; Leaf 1 loses. Net: +€2. Round two: the same stake, a Lil' Blues segment, and you did not back it. Net: -€2.
Round three: €1 on each leaf and €1 on Lil' Blues. A Lil' Blues segment with an 8x wheel boost; the fish shows 25x. The bonus pays 200x your bonus bet, €200, minus the €1 chip. Net: -€2 on the leaves, +€199 overall. Round four: the same pattern, a Big Oranges segment — the bonus bet loses, nothing is paid. Net: -€3. Round five: leaves only, a 5x boost on Leaf 1, it wins. Net: +€4.
Those five rounds cost €15 in stakes and returned a profit of €200 — and four of the five rounds were losing ones. That is the distribution the game is built around.
Reading your own results honestly
Players tend to remember the round that paid and forget the thirteen that did not, which makes the game feel more generous than it is. The statistics panel in the client is the antidote: it shows the last segments and hit statistics for the current table, so you can check your impression against the record.
If you want a fuller picture, keep a simple log — date, stake, rounds, net result — for ten sessions. Almost every player who does this discovers the same thing: the results sit close to the published returns, and the variance is far smaller than it felt in the moment.
Payouts compared with the rest of the Evolution catalogue
Within Evolution's own range this game sits at the moderate end. Its 5,000x ceiling is a fraction of what the large game shows advertise, and its leaf payouts of 10:1 and 25:1 are deliberately modest. What it offers instead is frequency: a 43.40% chance of a leaf result on every spin, roughly every second round.
That trade defines the character of the game. You will not retire on a leaf win, and you will rarely wait more than a few rounds for one. Players who enjoy a steady stream of small resolutions tend to stay; players chasing a single life-changing catch usually drift to the bigger shows within a session or two.
How payouts interact with bonus funds
A catch paid from a bonus balance behaves differently from one paid in cash. While wagering remains, winnings are usually credited to the bonus balance and remain subject to the same requirement; only the amount left after wagering is complete can be withdrawn.
Two practical rules follow. Keep the round stake under the max-bet cap throughout, and withdraw any winnings that exceed the bonus amount as soon as the wagering is cleared rather than continuing to play with them.
- Leaf results — Credited within a second or two of the segment being highlighted.
- Bonus catches — Credited when the fish breaks the surface, twenty to forty seconds later.
- Cash balance — Immediately playable and immediately withdrawable, subject to verification.
- Bonus balance — Playable at once, withdrawable once wagering and the max-bet rule are satisfied.
Why the payout table looks the way it does
The payout structure is a straightforward expression of probability. A leaf segment covers twenty-three of fifty-three segments, so it pays 1:1 or 10:1 with multipliers. Lil' Blues covers four, so it pays more when it hits. Huge Reds covers one, so it pays the most. The table is not arbitrary — it is the odds, written out.
Once you see it that way, the game becomes easy to reason about. Any bet that pays more does so because it lands less often, and the only question is whether you prefer frequent small returns or rare large ones.
- Leaf 1 / Leaf 2 — 1:1, or 3x to 10x when the wheel boost lands on that leaf.
- Lil' Blues — 3x to 100x, boosted by 2x to 10x — up to 1,000x on the bonus bet.
- Big Oranges — 4x to 200x, boosted by 2x to 10x — up to 2,000x.
- Huge Reds — 10x to 500x, boosted by 2x to 10x — up to 5,000x, the game ceiling.
Frequent small returns, occasional medium ones, rare large ones. Every payout in this game fits that shape, and a session that looks unusual is almost always just a short session.

One logged session from our test archive. A single session proves nothing about the long run — it shows what variance feels like at this stake size.
The payout column is the one to read here. Every line is either a small multiple of the stake or zero, and the non-zero lines cluster at the bottom of the range — exactly the distribution the paytable describes.
Notice also that the largest single return in a session like this is usually a leaf settlement rather than a bonus catch. The bonus rounds are what players remember; the leaves are what they are paid by.

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum payout in Ice Fishing?
5,000x your stake, capped at €500,000 per round. It requires a 10x wheel multiplier on the Huge Reds segment followed by a 500x fish.
How much does a leaf bet pay?
1:1 — stake €5, receive €10. If the segment that hit carried a wheel multiplier, the payout rises to that multiplier, up to 10:1.
Do bonus rounds always pay?
Yes. Every fish carries a multiplier, so a bonus round never returns zero, unlike a slot free-spins feature.
How are winnings credited?
Automatically and instantly. Leaf wins settle when the flapper stops; bonus wins settle when the fish is revealed.
What are the minimum and maximum stakes?
€0.10 minimum on every spot. Maximums of €10,000 on the leaves, €2,500 on Lil' Blues, €1,000 on Big Oranges and €500 on Huge Reds.
Does the €500,000 cap affect small stakes?
No. It only matters at very large stakes, where it truncates the top of the distribution and lowers the published RTP to about 94.55%.
How quickly are winnings credited?
Leaf results settle within a second or two of the segment being highlighted. A bonus catch is credited the moment the fish breaks the surface, twenty to forty seconds after the spin.
Do winnings from bonus funds pay out in cash?
They are credited to your bonus balance first and stay subject to the wagering requirement. Whatever remains once wagering — and the max-bet rule — are satisfied can be withdrawn as cash.
Is the 10:1 leaf payout profit or total?
Total. Like most casino payouts it includes your stake, so a €1 bet at 10:1 returns €10 — €9 of it profit.
Do payouts differ between operators?
No. The paytable is part of the certified configuration and is identical at every licensed casino carrying the game.
What is the most common single payout?
A plain leaf result at 1:1, which returns your stake and nothing more. It is the single most frequent outcome in the game and it is neither a win nor a loss.
Do payouts include the stake?
Yes. Every figure in the paytable is the total returned, so a 10:1 result on a €1 bet pays €10 in total.
