Lil’ Blues · Big Oranges · Huge Reds
The three Ice Fishing bonus rounds
Seven segments out of 53 open the ice. Each one costs you a little return in exchange for a much larger ceiling — here is exactly how much, and what you get for it.
§ 01 Side by side
| Bonus | Segments | Hit rate | Fish range | With 10x wheel | RTP | Max stake |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lil’ Blues | 4 | 7.55% | 3x – 100x | up to 1,000x | 95.69% | 2,500 |
| Big Oranges | 2 | 3.77% | 4x – 200x | up to 2,000x | 95.60% | 1,000 |
| Huge Reds | 1 | 1.89% | 10x – 500x | up to 5,000x | 95.17% | 500 |
§ 02 What each round is like
Lil’ Blues — the one you will see
Four segments, so it opens roughly once in every 13 rounds. The host casts into the hole and pulls up small blue fish carrying 3x to 100x. Because it triggers so often, the distribution has to sit low: most sessions are a run of single-digit and low-double-digit catches with the occasional jump. It is the cheapest bonus to run and the only one where a modest bankroll sees enough hits to feel like a game rather than a wait.
Big Oranges — the middle setting
Two segments, 4x to 200x. Larger fish need a crane, which is where the production earns its keep. Half the frequency of Lil’ Blues for double the ceiling is a fair-looking trade and the RTP barely moves (95.60% against 95.69%), so if you want more range without a meaningful cost increase, this is the sensible step up.
Huge Reds — the ceiling
One segment. 10x to 500x. Fish are hauled out with cranes and helicopters, and the reveal is deliberately drawn out. This is the only route to 5,000x and it carries the worst return in the game at 95.17%, plus the tightest stake ceiling at 500. Backing it alone means roughly 52 losing rounds for every one that opens.

Run a thousand rounds in the simulator and count the red squares. It is more persuasive than any table.
