Evolution has launched its Ice Fishing live casino game show in New Jersey, Michigan and Delaware, bringing to the United States a title that has attracted more than 26 million players globally since its 2025 debut. The game, set in a frozen fishing world, had recorded more than 469 million fish caught by the time of its U.S. launch.
The New Jersey rollout coincided with the opening of Evolution’s fourth Live Casino studio in Atlantic City. In Michigan, the game is streamed from Evolution’s Grand Rapids studio, which opened in May as the company’s second Michigan location and seventh U.S. live casino studio.
Ice Fishing centres on a virtual money wheel with 53 segments. Players can wager on immediate-payout Leaf 1 and Leaf 2 positions, or bet on the Lil’ Blues, Big Oranges and Huge Reds bonus games. An All Bonuses option covers all three fishing features with a single bet.
Wagers are placed before the wheel spins and before multipliers are assigned. Selected wheel segments can receive boosts of up to 10x after betting closes, increasing Leaf payouts or the fish multipliers available in the corresponding bonus round. During bonuses, a live host reels in a fish and reveals its final multiplier; only players whose wagers cover the winning bonus receive its payout.
Evolution advertises bonus-round payout ranges as high as 500 times the stake and a maximum potential return of 5,000 times the wager, achieved by combining a 10x boost with the top Huge Reds multiplier. Jacob Claesson, Evolution North America’s CEO, called the game “fun, fast and unlike anything else in our Live Casino portfolio.”
Ice Fishing first launched internationally in August 2025. Evolution said it expects to introduce the game in further regulated U.S. markets over the coming months, without naming the next states or setting launch dates.
