Finding Ice Fishing in a live lobby: which filter works
Open any Evolution-powered casino and the game will not be where most players first look. Ice Fishing is dealt live from a studio, so operators shelve it in the Game Shows or Live aisle; several catalogues classify it as a wheel game and list it next to the roulette variants instead. What it never is, in any lobby, is a slot — the record in operator catalogues is dated 10 December 2025, marked for desktop and mobile, and carries no demo build, all three of which are live-table traits.
The dependable way in is the provider filter. Switch the lobby to Evolution and the card appears within a shelf of a dozen titles; search by name works too, but only when the operator has the game enabled for your market. Try the same lobby through the Slots filter and you get nothing — not an error, simply zero results, because the game is not in that category. Two casinos running the same software can also differ: the live catalogue is switched on per licence, which is why a title present in one lobby is absent in another. Why your lobby may not carry it is a story of its own.
Zero results under Slots is correct behaviour — filter by provider, not by guesswork.
What one round costs: six spots, six stakes
The board offers six positions: Leaf 1 and Leaf 2, which settle instantly against the paytable; Lil' Blues, Big Oranges and Huge Reds, which open the corresponding bonus round; and All Bonuses, which covers the three bonus positions in one tap. Every position is staked separately. That single fact is the whole economics of the game: a player backing one leaf spends the table minimum per round, while a player covering the full board spends six times that — at the same table, in the same minute.
The arithmetic matters more than the minimum itself. A €0.10 table sounds cheap, but six spots at €1 is €6 a round, and live game shows run rounds briskly. Price your round before you open a lobby, and treat the result as your real per-round cost — the calculator below does exactly what the real bet panel does. What covering the board actually costs is broken down spot by spot on the real-money page.
How a payout is calculated, spot by spot
Every round spins the same virtual 53-segment wheel. Leaf segments dominate the layout, which is why most rounds end in an instant paytable settlement or a miss; the named fish segments are the scarce ones. After betting closes, the game may attach a multiplier to random segments — 3×, 4×, 5×, 7× or 10× on a Leaf segment, 2×–10× on a bonus segment — before the wheel is spun.
From there the two payout routes part ways. A Leaf result settles on the spot: the paytable amount, times the segment multiplier if one landed. A fish result opens the bonus round, where the fish that comes up through the hole carries the prize — and if the winning segment carried a wheel multiplier, every fish value in that round was already multiplied before the pull began. Stack the two and you reach the studio's stated ceiling of 5,000×.

| Bet spot | Payout route | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Leaf 1 | Instant, against the paytable | up to 10× |
| Leaf 2 | Instant, against the paytable | up to 10× |
| Lil' Blues | Bonus round — the fish pays | 3× – 100× |
| Big Oranges | Bonus round — the fish pays | 4× – 200× |
| Huge Reds | Bonus round — the fish pays | 10× – 500× |
| All Bonuses | One tap, three fish spots | 3× – 500× |
Wheel multipliers land after betting closes: 3–10× on a Leaf segment, 2–10× on a bonus segment — the latter multiplies every fish value in the round. Stated ceiling: 5,000×.
What to check in a casino before you sit down
The game's mathematics never changes between operators — everything around it does. Four things are worth a look before the first round, and all four take under a minute with your own account logged in.
Minimums and maximums are the operator's, not the studio's. The minimum applies to each spot — the full board costs six of them.

Evolution's live catalogue is enabled per jurisdiction. The licence named in the casino footer decides whether this table exists for you at all.
Whether bonus money works on live tables is written there — usually as an exclusion or a reduced weighting. Details in the next block.
Bonus balance and live game shows rarely mix
The most common surprise here has nothing to do with the wheel. Deposit bonuses at most operators are written for slots: live tables are frequently excluded from wagering entirely or counted at a sharply reduced weight — 10% is a typical figure. Nothing about that is a property of Ice Fishing; it is a clause in the bonus terms, and it varies operator by operator.
The practical consequence: winnings from bonus money may not be withdrawable if the wagering was done at this table, and a session here may barely move a wagering requirement at all. If you plan to play with a bonus active, read the live-games clause first — or play with a cash balance and keep the two questions separate.
Ice Fishing casino game — FAQ
Which casinos have the Ice Fishing casino game?
Any casino running Evolution's live suite can carry it, but the live catalogue is licensed market by market, so two casinos on the same software can differ. Filter the lobby by provider rather than by game name.
Why can't I find it under Slots?
Because it is not one. It is dealt live from a studio and catalogued with game shows and wheel games; the Slots filter will never return it.
What is the minimum bet?
The studio sets the format, the operator sets the limits. Minimums apply per bet spot, so a table with a low minimum still costs six times that if you cover the whole board.
Does my bonus money work on it?
Often not. Live tables are frequently excluded from wagering or counted at a reduced rate, and that is written in the bonus terms rather than in the game rules.
Ice Fishing is a clean, brisk wheel show with an unusually honest cost structure: six spots, each priced separately, and everything expensive about it is visible before the spin. Find it through the provider filter, price the round before you sit down, and keep bonus money away from it unless the terms say otherwise.
