Ice Fishing, explained by the numbers
Fifty-three segments, five bets and three fish bonuses. Which bet you place decides what the game costs you long before luck gets involved — and the gap between the best and worst is wider than most players realise.
This site covers one game properly rather than four hundred badly. Every figure below comes from the published rules, and every page says where it came from.
A slot publishes one return figure. Ice Fishing publishes five, one for each bet on the table, and they are not close together: 97.10% at the top, 95.17% at the bottom. That is 1.93 percentage points, or two thirds again on top of the cheapest bet in the game.
Nothing else about the game is a decision. The wheel is drawn by a certified RNG, the multipliers are dealt after betting closes, and no arrangement of chips changes the odds. Where you put the chip is the whole game.

What the wheel looks like
Drawn to the published split. The 46 green leaf segments cover 86.8% of the wheel;
the seven coloured fish segments are the only way into a bonus round.
Forty-six leaf segments and seven fish. The leaf field decides 86.79% of rounds and pays the most back; the seven fish carry the entire top of the paytable and the three lowest returns on the table.
That pairing is deliberate. Access to a 500x catch is a product, and the house prices it by paying back slightly less on the route that sells it. Chances per segment.
One round, start to finish
Betting window opens
Ten to fifteen seconds. Chips go on Leaf 1, Leaf 2, any fish route, or the All Bonuses shortcut.
Boosts are dealt
The RNG marks random segments after betting closes. Visible, but no longer actionable.
The wheel stops
One of 53 segments wins. Leaf settles on the spot.
The ice opens, or it does not
A fish result starts the matching bonus for players holding that route only.
Payout
1:1 returns your stake plus the same again; any multiplier win pays the multiple instead of returning the stake.
