Before you choose a bet
Open the game information panel and identify the exact edition or table. Check the available stake range, chip values, payout rules and any maximum-payout conditions. Set a session budget and a time limit that suit you.
Treat a change of currency or operator as a reason to check those settings again. The same-looking chip can represent a different amount. On small screens, make sure you can see both the selected stakes and their combined total.
The selections on the betting panel
The game offers Leaf 1, Leaf 2, Lil’ Blues, Big Oranges, Huge Reds and an All Bonuses option. Read the in-game explanation of how an All Bonuses stake is allocated and settled. It is a coverage option, not a separate kind of fish.
| Selection | What to follow |
|---|---|
| Leaf 1 / Leaf 2 | The indicated Leaf result and its applicable boost. |
| Lil’ Blues / Big Oranges / Huge Reds | The matching fish bonus and final multiplier. |
| All Bonuses | The allocation and settlement described in the current rules. |
From the countdown to settlement
Once the betting window closes, the selected stakes are committed. Multiplier boosts may be assigned before the wheel resolves. The indicated outcome then leads either to a Leaf settlement or to the matching fishing bonus.
The bonus sequence reveals the fish multiplier. Check the displayed settlement and balance after the result, rather than calculating from a passing animation alone. The table’s paytable defines the exact treatment of a stake and its payout.

Read the whole round, not just one winning spot
Suppose you place 2 units on each of three selections. Your round costs 6 units in total. If one selection returns 8 units, the net round result is +2 units: 8 returned minus 6 committed. This is a simple accounting illustration, not a quoted Ice Fishing payout.
This distinction makes a session much easier to follow. “A bet won”, “the round returned money” and “the session is ahead” describe different things. Keep track of the total across all selections.
A useful first-session routine
Understanding the controls helps you avoid accidental over-staking and confusion about settlement. It also leaves you free to enjoy the presentation.
- Identify the table and read its help panel.
- Choose a unit size and check the combined stake.
- Watch a complete round and its settlement.
- Know where clear, repeat and history controls are.
- Keep your budget and finishing time separate from the excitement of a bonus.
