Bonus bets large enough for a maximum result to breach the 500,000 single-round cap are published at a reduced 94.55%.

House edge in money

House edge is RTP subtracted from 100%, and it is the more useful of the two figures because it multiplies cleanly against turnover.

Put 100 through Leaf bets over an evening and the long-run cost is 2.90. Put the same 100 through Huge Reds and it is 4.83. Per round that gap looks trivial. Against ninety rounds an hour it stops looking trivial, because the figure that matters is not what you deposited but everything that went across the table.

Any individual hour will land well away from these figures in both directions.

The 94.55% case

Evolution caps a single round at 500,000 in table currency. On small stakes the cap is invisible. On large bonus bets it truncates the top of the payout distribution, and when that happens the published theoretical return for those bets falls to 94.55%.

For context, the other Evolution wheels apply the same cap logic to their own ceilings.

Practically: if you are betting near the table maximum on Huge Reds, the return you are actually playing against is lower than the figure on the info screen for smaller stakes. The cap removes exactly the outcomes that make the bet worth its price. More on the cap and the 5,000x ceiling.

RTP questions

What is the highest RTP in Ice Fishing?

97.10%, on Leaf 1 and Leaf 2. That is higher than the best bet in Crazy Time at 96.08% and among the strongest figures Evolution publishes for a money wheel.

Why does each bet have a different RTP?

Each route is priced separately. Bonus routes sell access to large multipliers and the house charges for that access by returning slightly less over the long run.

What is the 94.55% figure?

A reduced return applied to bonus bets large enough that a maximum result would breach the 500,000 single-round cap. When the cap can bite, the theoretical return falls with it.

Does a higher RTP mean I will win?

No. Every route has a negative expectation. A higher RTP means you lose more slowly, which buys playing time rather than profit.
