Ice Fishing Wheel Game: Three Bonus Games and the 5,000x Ceiling in C$

Seven of the 53 wheel segments are bonus segments, and the wheel stopping on one of them starts the matching bonus game. The other 46 segments pay cash and end the round at once. Because bonus segments are the minority, most spins end without a bonus game, and the long stretches between bonuses are part of the format.

A seat only plays a bonus game if it holds a bet that covers it. A bet on Huge Reds takes part when the wheel stops on Huge Reds. A bet on All Bonuses takes part whichever of the three opens. Seats with only Leaf bets watch the bonus without a stake in it.

The tool below places the three ceilings next to each other for any stake. Entering C$5 shows C$500, C$1,000 and C$2,500, which are the top of each range and not an average. The point of the exercise is the gap between a ceiling and an ordinary outcome, which the info window of the game describes in its own figures.

The panel does not predict anything. A bonus game that has just ended has no effect on the next spin, and the wheel keeps no tally of what it has paid.

Multiplication converts a multiplier into dollars. A C$3 stake at 50x returns C$150. A C$3 stake at the 5,000x cap would return C$15,000. The calculator shows the cap for any stake, and the line to read is the one that compares it with the total staked over a session.

A session of 100 spins at C$3 stakes C$300 in total. One 50x result on a C$3 bet returns C$150, which is half of that sum. The arithmetic shows why a large multiplier does not make a session profitable by itself: the many spins that return nothing carry the cost.
