Ice Fishing is a live game show from Evolution built around a virtual 53-segment money wheel. A presenter hosts each round from an Arctic-themed set. Players back one or more of five bet spots, and the wheel either pays out immediately or sends the round into one of three fishing bonus games: Lil' Blues, Big Oranges, or Huge Reds. Multipliers of up to 10x can land on the wheel after betting closes and carry into the bonus games, which puts the top payout at 5,000x the stake.
Evolution Gaming
Ice Fishing pares Evolution’s money-wheel format down to five main bet spots and three fishing bonuses, with pre-spin multipliers pushing the top payout to 5,000x.

Evolution designed Ice Fishing as a speed game show. Rounds are short, the rules fit on one screen, and each bonus game is a single reveal rather than a multi-stage production.
💡 That gives the title a different role from Evolution’s larger shows: Ice Fishing is the money-wheel game a player can join for a few rounds without first learning a new system.
Evolution previewed Ice Fishing at ICE Barcelona in January 2025 and launched it on August 6, 2025. The wheel is fully virtual, and outcomes are generated by RNG. The presenter runs the show, comments on results, and reels in the catch during bonus games, but no physical wheel decides anything. That combination preserves the hosted, social character of a live game show while removing the pacing limits of a physical spin.
Most of the wheel settles the round on the spot. Leaf 1 and Leaf 2 each cover 23 segments and pay even money, so 46 of the 53 segments pay out instantly. The remaining seven segments trigger bonus games: four for Lil’ Blues, two for Big Oranges and one for Huge Reds. Players can back any spot individually or use the All Bonuses bet to cover every bonus segment with a single stake.
Once betting closes, the multiplier phase runs. On the Leaf side, one random segment may receive a 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x, or 10x multiplier, which can boost an even-money win to 9:1. Bonus multipliers apply more broadly. Each segment linked to a bonus type may be assigned a multiplier from 2x to 10x, and that boost applies to every fish in the subsequent bonus game. A 10x boost on Huge Reds produces the game’s top payout.
All three bonus games use the same format at three sizes. The scene moves to the ice, fish carrying multipliers swim below the surface, and the presenter slowly reels one in until its value is revealed before any wheel multiplier is applied:
Everyone at the table watches the bonus game, but only players who backed the matching spot are paid. Players make no decisions inside the bonus, which keeps the round short and the outcome easy to follow.
The return falls as the bet spot gets rarer, which is normal for the format. The payout cap is the detail high-stakes play needs to account for. In the reference configuration, a large Huge Reds bet can reach the €500,000 cap before it reaches the 5,000x ceiling, which lowers the effective return on the biggest bonus stakes. Bet limits and the cap are set per deployment, so confirm both for your build.
Ice Fishing and Crazy Time share Evolution’s money-wheel DNA but target different sessions: Ice Fishing keeps the format fast and simple, while Crazy Time builds around a larger set of bonus games and more elaborate gameplay.
Crazy Time is the obvious comparison. Both are Evolution money-wheel shows with instant-win spots, bonus-game spots, and multipliers added before the result. Most lobbies that carry Evolution already list Crazy Time.

Crazy Time is the bigger show. It has four separate bonus games, two of which involve player choices, and its multiplier range is far wider: Evolution has published a 25,000x Cash Hunt result.
💡 Ice Fishing keeps the same wheel-and-bonus structure but compresses it into one bonus format, faster rounds, a lower ceiling, and a higher return on its main bet.
The two titles share a category but serve different sessions. A player who wants a short game show with little to learn has a clear option in Ice Fishing, and a player chasing the largest multipliers still has Crazy Time. Carrying both adds depth to the game-show row rather than duplicating it.
Ice Fishing belongs in the game-show row next to Crazy Time, MONOPOLY Live and Funky Time, as the fastest and simplest entry in that group. Its Arctic fishing theme gives it an identity that doesn’t overlap with the other shows. Its RNG wheel and short rounds also make it a reasonable bridge for slot and instant-game players. Each round is a single betting decision; most spins resolve immediately, and the bonus game ends with a visible multiplier reveal, much like a slot feature. Alongside its place among the other Evolution shows, Ice Fishing is worth testing in a quick-games collection with crash and instant titles.
🇧🇷 Evolution has also launched Ice Fishing Brasil, a dedicated table that streams from its São Paulo studio and is hosted by native Brazilian Portuguese-speaking presenters.
Ice Fishing Brasil brings the same virtual wheel, three fishing bonuses and 5,000x top payout to a dedicated São Paulo table hosted by Brazilian Portuguese-speaking presenters.
It runs the same wheel, bonus games, and 5,000x ceiling. When both tables are available to you, the Brazilian version serves as a language option for Portuguese-speaking players rather than as a second game. It is best listed as a variant of Ice Fishing, not as a separate title.
The same simplicity sets the title’s limits. With one bonus format and a ceiling well below Evolution’s flagship shows, Ice Fishing won’t replace Crazy Time for players who come to live casino for long, multi-stage bonus rounds. What it adds is a wider range of session lengths and risk profiles within the game-show category.
Ice Fishing gives you three clear hooks to promote:
💡 Players who already play Crazy Time are a natural audience for cross-promotion.
Activation runs through bonus funds and tournaments. GR8_TECH’s bonus engine supports product-level wagering, so a live casino offer can be limited to live casino games rather than spreading across the entire casino. The wallet also keeps live-casino bonus balances separate from slot bonuses.
For tournaments, we can run several competitions in parallel on the same games, so an Ice Fishing event can sit alongside your existing live-casino tournament rather than replacing it. Because most rounds settle instantly, the game produces a steady flow of results for a leaderboard, while bonus-game wins provide the standout moments.
Ice Fishing is a compact addition to an Evolution game-show lineup. It is quick to learn, has a distinct theme, and is built around a high-return main bet with a 5,000x top end. Through GREAT_CASINO AGGREGATION, it runs on the same integration as the rest of your Evolution content, so adding it is a lobby decision rather than a technical project. We can help you place it in the game-show row and any quick-games collections, and set up the bonus and tournament mechanics around it.
