Evolution Gaming · Live Game Show
A 53-segment wheel, eight seconds of betting, and a twenty-second round. Beneath the ice sit three fishing bonus rounds and a multiplier engine that reaches 5,000x the stake. This is our complete guide to how the game is built, how it pays, and how it compares to the rest of our catalogue.
Chapter I
We founded Evolution in Riga in 2006 with a small handful of live roulette and blackjack tables and one conviction: that a dealt card streamed in real time would always beat a simulation. Twenty years on we run more than twenty studios worldwide, supply over 800 operator partners, and generate in excess of €2 billion in annual revenue.
The live game show format is ours. Dream Catcher introduced it in 2017, Crazy Time made it a category, and Lightning Roulette proved that multipliers could reshape a three-hundred-year-old table game. Ice Fishing, launched on 6 August 2025, is our first fully RNG-driven entry in that lineage — the same theatre, resolved at three rounds a minute.
16 consecutive years. One supplier. One standard.
We list on Nasdaq Stockholm, we own NetEnt, Red Tiger and Big Time Gaming, and every outcome we publish is certified by independent testing houses. Read more in our history of Evolution Gaming.
Chapter II
Every figure below is published rather than estimated. The 97.10% RTP applies to our Leaf bets and sits at the top of the live game show category, where most titles fall between 95% and 96.5%.
The wheel carries 53 virtual segments: 23 Leaf 1, 23 Leaf 2, four Lil’ Blues, two Big Oranges and a single Huge Reds slot. Leaf outcomes therefore account for roughly 86.8% of spins, which is what keeps the base game steady while the remaining 13.2% carries the entire bonus ceiling.
Chapter III
Our entry-level bonus round. Landing on Lil' Blues sends you ice fishing for blue fish, each carrying a multiplier. Multipliers can stack to reach up to 100x your bonus stake. We designed this round to be fast-paced with punchy wins that keep momentum high.
A step up in excitement. Big Oranges brings larger fish to the hole, with multipliers reaching up to 200x. The fishing mechanic is the same, but the potential reward doubles. Landing here with one of our wheel multipliers active can push wins significantly higher.
Our top-tier bonus round. Huge Reds is the rarest segment on the wheel (just 1 in 53 slots) but delivers the biggest base-level fishing multipliers — up to 500x your bonus stake. Combined with our wheel multipliers, this is where the 5,000x ceiling lives.
All three rounds share the same mechanic — a hole is cut in the ice and fish are drawn up, each carrying a multiplier. What changes between tiers is the population of fish and the ceiling on their values. A 10x wheel multiplier carried into Huge Reds is the only route to the headline 5,000x.
Chapter IV
Set against our own catalogue, Ice Fishing trades Crazy Time’s enormous ceiling for pace and return. It resolves twice as fast as anything else on this table.
| Game | RTP | Max Win | Volatility | Round Speed | Bonus Types |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ice Fishing | 97.10% | 5,000x | Medium–High | ~20s | 3 fishing rounds |
| Crazy Time | 96.08% | 25,000x | High | ~45s | 4 bonus games |
| Dream Catcher | 96.58% | 40x | Low | ~40s | None (2x/7x multipliers) |
| Lightning Roulette | 97.30% | 500x | Medium | ~50s | Lightning multipliers |
Chapter V
| Bet | Covers | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Leaf 1 | Leaf 1 segments | 1:1 |
| Leaf 2 | Leaf 2 segments | 1:1 |
| Lil' Blues | Lil' Blues bonus | Bonus round |
| Big Oranges | Big Oranges bonus | Bonus round |
| Huge Reds | Huge Reds bonus | Bonus round |
| All Bonuses | All three bonus bets | Combined |
No betting pattern alters the underlying probabilities — our RNG is certified and each spin is independent. What a bet selection does control is variance: a pure Leaf allocation resolves often and small, while a fraction placed on All Bonuses keeps you eligible for every trigger.
Chapter VI
Leaf bets hit approximately 87% of the time combined. If you're looking for steady, lower-variance play, our Leaf bets offer the highest RTP and most frequent wins.
Our bonus rounds are rare but potentially life-changing. Huge Reds triggers less than 2% of the time, so budget bonus bets accordingly — we designed them as excitement bets, not grind bets.
We announce multipliers in the seconds before the wheel spins. Multipliers on bonus segments are the most valuable events in our game — they can turn a Huge Reds hit into a 5,000x win.
Covering all three bonus types with our single "All Bonuses" bet ensures you never miss a bonus trigger regardless of which segment lands.
At roughly three rounds per minute, an hour at the table is close to 180 decisions. We recommend sizing your stake against the number of rounds you intend to play rather than against the clock.
