Queries about the ice fishing game reach for a fact that can be stated simply: who is behind it, what kind of game it is and how it differs from imitations. The sections below set these out as plain items, with no rating attached to any operator.
The provider
Evolution AB is a Swedish company founded in 2006 and listed in Stockholm. It develops live casino tables and game shows, operates the studios from which they are broadcast and licenses them to online casinos. Ice Fishing was shown at the ICE 2025 trade fair and released on 6 August 2025.

A gambling game by format
Ice Fishing is a gambling game in the plain sense of the term: a stake of real money is placed on an outcome decided by chance, and the result returns more, less or nothing. The wheel carries 53 segments, 46 of them cash and 7 bonus, the bets are Leaf 1, Leaf 2, three single bonus games and All Bonuses, and every round is independent of the last. It is not a skill game, and no method alters the result. For adults only, the age limit is 18 or higher where rules set it higher.

Copies and where they come from
Copies borrow the name and the winter theme. They appear as websites that run a wheel without a host, as downloads that promise a hacked version, as channels that sell predictions and as clones with a different studio behind them. What they share is the absence of a live table inside a casino lobby. The practical difference is where the money goes: at a casino, a stake enters the casino's cashier, while at a copy it enters whatever the copy is. The app and download page lists the traits.
Forum posts and screenshots
Forums and social threads discuss the game freely, and a thread tends to carry two kinds of content. One is experience, such as a long losing run or a large win, that fits the game's variance and proves nothing about fairness. The other is a screenshot posted to support a claim, which is easy to edit. A thread titled with a query like is ice fishing game real or fake on a forum such as reddit is better read for what it describes, the cost of a session or the behaviour of a cashier, than for its conclusion. Facts about the maker, as given above, come from the provider and its certification.
Where the figures come from
Every figure on this topic traces to the published format of the show: 53 segments, 46 cash and 7 bonus, three bonus games with ceilings of 100x, 200x and 500x, and a reported maximum of 5,000x. Figures that are not published, namely RTP and stake limits, are not given and are read from the info window inside the game. Bonus sums elsewhere are examples. The responsible gambling page covers limits and breaks.
18+. 18+ only. Every bet costs money, so a deposit limit and a time limit are set before the first bet, with breaks between sessions. Local organisations that support players offer free help when play stops being fun.
