All Bonuses in Ice Fishing: What It Is, How Much It Costs and When It Makes Sense

Ice Fishing — live game show от Evolution Gaming

Ice Fishing by Evolution includes an All Bonuses option — it covers all bonus wheel segments with a single bet. It sounds convenient. But it’s important to understand how the cost is calculated, what you’re actually getting, and when this option makes mathematical sense.

What All Bonuses is

Normally you place bets individually: on Leaf, on Lil Blues, on Big Oranges, on Huge Reds — each segment separately. All Bonuses is an interface shortcut that automatically places an equal bet on all three bonus types simultaneously: Lil Blues, Big Oranges, and Huge Reds.

Out of 53 wheel segments, 7 are bonus segments: 4 Lil Blues + 2 Big Oranges + 1 Huge Reds. All Bonuses covers all of them.

What it costs: the key thing to understand

If you put $1 into All Bonuses — this is not $1 for everything. It’s $1 × 3 = $3 per round — $1 on each of the three bonus types simultaneously. The system places three independent bets.

Bet type Cost per round Segment coverage Hit probability RTP
Huge Reds only $X 1/53 1.9% 95.17%
Big Oranges only $X 2/53 3.8% 95.60%
Lil Blues only $X 4/53 7.5% 95.69%
All Bonuses ($X each) $X × 3 7/53 13.2% ~95.6%

When a bonus lands, you only receive what corresponds to the segment type that came up — Lil Blues pays only the Lil Blues bet. Bets on the other types are lost that round.

Combined RTP of All Bonuses

The weighted RTP of All Bonuses is approximately 95.6% — an average of the three bonus types (95.69%, 95.60%, 95.17%), weighted by their share on the wheel. For comparison: Leaf bets return 97.10%.

A gap of roughly 1.5 percentage points means for every $100 wagered, you lose on average $1.50 more than with Leaf bets. That’s the price of convenience and bonus round access.

The math in practice: a session example

Suppose you have a $100 bankroll and play at 30 spins per minute with a $0.50 All Bonuses bet.

Actual bet per round: $0.50 × 3 = $1.50
Expected loss per spin: $1.50 × (1 − 0.956) = ~$0.066
Over 100 spins (~3.3 minutes): expected losses ~$6.60
Expected bonus round hits: 100 × 13.2% = ~13 rounds

Compare with a $1 bet on Leaf only:
Expected loss per spin: $1 × (1 − 0.971) = ~$0.029
Over 100 spins: expected losses ~$2.90

All Bonuses costs roughly twice as much in losses per spin, but delivers 13 bonus round entries versus zero with a Leaf-only strategy. Neither is better or worse — they’re simply different game profiles.

When All Bonuses makes sense

If you want to participate in all bonus rounds without manually managing each bet — All Bonuses removes the need to track what to bet on. Convenient for fast sessions.

If your budget allows $X × 3 per round — the option makes sense only when the tripled bet is comfortable for your bankroll. If your standard bet is $2, All Bonuses costs $6 per round.

If you don’t want to pick a bonus type — All Bonuses gives a combined 13.2% probability of hitting any bonus per round. On average, one bonus round every 7–8 spins.

When All Bonuses doesn’t make sense

If you only want Huge Reds — paying three times as much to also cover Lil Blues and Big Oranges doesn’t make sense if you don’t want them. Simply bet on Huge Reds directly.

If your bankroll is limited — tripling the bet per round accelerates fund depletion during streaks without bonuses. Keep in mind: 86.8% of spins land on Leaf, meaning on average 7 out of 8 spins yield no bonus. With a limited bankroll, high per-round cost may exhaust funds before the first major win.

If you want to optimize RTP — neither All Bonuses nor individual bonus bets beat Leaf (97.10%). All Bonuses is a dispersion choice, not a return optimization.

Frequently asked questions

Is All Bonuses one bet or three?

Three independent bets placed simultaneously. If you enter $1 in the All Bonuses field, $3 is deducted: $1 each on Lil Blues, Big Oranges, and Huge Reds. When a bonus segment lands, only the matching bet wins.

Which is better: All Bonuses or placing bets on each bonus separately?

Mathematically identical. All Bonuses is purely an interface convenience. If you want different amounts on different bonus types (e.g., $2 on Huge Reds and $0.50 on Lil Blues), you need to do that manually.

If Huge Reds lands with All Bonuses active — do I get paid on all three bets?

No. Only the Huge Reds bet wins — it’s multiplied by the Huge Reds payout. The Lil Blues and Big Oranges bets are lost that round, since a different segment type landed.

Can I combine All Bonuses with a Leaf bet in the same round?

Yes. Leaf and All Bonuses are independent bets, placeable simultaneously. This is a common approach: Leaf as the primary (low-dispersion) bet, with a small All Bonuses for bonus round exposure. Total round cost increases, but coverage is complete.

Bottom line

All Bonuses is a convenience tool, not an RTP optimizer. It costs three times as much as a single bonus bet, delivers a combined 13.2% probability, and returns ~95.6% RTP. Use it when interface simplicity and any-bonus participation matter — not when you’re specifically hunting a particular bonus round. Learn more on the Ice Fishing page.
