The three fish bonuses
Seven segments out of 53 open the ice. Each has its own frequency, its own range and its own price in return given up.

The pattern to notice: as the ceiling rises, the frequency falls and the return falls with it. That is the trade in every direction.
Side by side
| Bonus | Segments | Hit rate | Range | With a 10x mark | RTP | Max stake |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lil’ Blues | 4 | 7.55% | 3x–100x | 1,000x | 95.69% | 2,500 |
| Big Oranges | 2 | 3.77% | 4x–200x | 2,000x | 95.60% | 1,000 |
| Huge Reds | 1 | 1.89% | 10x–500x | 5,000x | 95.17% | 500 |
A wheel mark of 2x to 10x scales every catch in the round, not your chip.
Lil’ Blues
Four segments, opening about once in thirteen rounds, or seven times an hour. Small blue fish paying 3x to 100x.
Frequency has to be paid for out of size, and it is: most catches land in single digits or low double digits, with the 100x sitting far out in the tail. That is what a 95.69% return on a 7.55% hit rate looks like from the inside. It is also the only fish route where a modest bankroll sees enough rounds for the chip to be doing visible work.
Big Oranges
Two segments, once in twenty-seven rounds, 4x to 200x. Big enough to need the crane, which is where the studio production starts paying off.
The number worth noticing is the price of the step. Big Oranges returns 95.60% against 95.69% on Lil’ Blues — nine hundredths of a point for double the ceiling. That is the cheapest upgrade available anywhere on this table, and a much better trade than the jump to Huge Reds, which costs 0.43 points and halves the frequency again.
Huge Reds
One segment out of 53, catches from 10x to 500x, cranes and helicopters, and a reveal stretched out for as long as the format allows.
It carries the lowest return in the game at 95.17% and the tightest stake ceiling at 500. Held alone it produces roughly 52 losing rounds for each one that opens. Both are the price of the ceiling, and the pattern repeats across casino design: the biggest number in the marketing is attached to the worst-value bet, because that number is what sells the game and the house recovers its cost on the route that carries it.
