Bet Types and Payouts
Ice Fishing offers two distinct bet strategies: safe and slow with Leaf bets, or high-risk with bonus bets. The return to player percentage varies depending on which segment you bet on. Leaf 1 and Leaf 2 have the highest RTP at around 97.10%, which makes them the best choice for grinding through wagering requirements or playing conservative. The bonus bets (Lil' Blues, Big Oranges, Huge Reds) have slightly lower RTP in the 95.17%–95.69% range because they compensate with massive multiplier potential and the chance to hit the payout cap.
There's also an 'All Bonuses' bet option that covers all three fish bonuses simultaneously. This spreads your risk across the bonus segments and increases your chance of triggering a fishing round, but the RTP is weighted toward the average of the three bonus types. If you're betting $10 on All Bonuses, you're essentially hedging your bet across 29 of the 53 segments, which gives you better coverage but lower individual payouts unless you hit a rare multiplier boost.
| Segment Type | Payout Ratio | RTP Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Leaf 1 | 1.5:1 | 97.10% |
| Leaf 2 | 2:1 | 97.10% |
| Lil' Blues Bonus | 3x–100x | 95.69% |
| Big Oranges Bonus | 4x–200x | 95.50% |
| Huge Reds Bonus | 10x–500x | 95.17% |
| All Bonuses (combined) | Varies | ~95.45% |
The payout table is transparent and available in-game. Evolution displays the exact probabilities for each segment, so you can calculate your expected value before placing a bet. The max payout cap is typically $500,000 at licensed operators, which means even if you hit a 10,000x multiplier on a large bet, your winnings will be capped at that limit. This is standard practice for live game shows to protect the operator from extreme exposure, but it also means you can't just bet $100 and walk away with $1 million if you hit the absolute max multiplier.
Right then, here's what you need to know about the different bet types:
- Leaf bets are ideal for low-risk, high-RTP grinding and bonus rollover strategies
- Bonus bets offer lower RTP but exponentially higher multiplier upside for thrill-seekers
- The 'All Bonuses' bet spreads risk and increases trigger frequency at the cost of focused payout potential
