Feature overview
What is the Big Oranges bonus?
Big Oranges is one of three fishing bonus features on the Ice Fishing game-show wheel. When the wheel lands on an orange bonus segment, the Big Oranges feature starts. Everyone watching can observe the event, but only qualifying wagers on the relevant bonus spot can receive a payout.
The host reels in a fish revealing a bonus multiplier. Evolution’s official game description states that Big Oranges offers fish multipliers from 4× to 200×. Depending on the round, a pre-spin boost can increase fish multiplier values. Any payout remains subject to the applicable game rules and caps.
Understand the difference: 3.77% is the reference chance that the wheel lands on orange. It is not the probability of a specific fish reward, your chance of making a profit, or the game's RTP.
How it works
How Big Oranges is triggered
02
The wheel lands on orange
After the betting window, bonus-related boosts may be applied. Big Oranges is triggered only when the wheel pointer stops on an orange segment.
03
The fish reveals a result
The live host reels in the fish. The revealed fish multiplier, applicable boosts and any payout restrictions determine the settlement for eligible bets.

Big Oranges odds on the 53-segment wheel
In the commonly documented reference layout, Big Oranges occupies two of the 53 wheel positions. The probability of an orange segment on one independent spin is 2 ÷ 53, or approximately 3.77%. This is half the frequency of Lil’ Blues (four positions) and twice Huge Reds (one position).
| Bonus | Positions | Reference landing probability | Base fish multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lil’ Blues | 4 / 53 | 7.55% | 3×–100× |
| Big Oranges | 2 / 53 | 3.77% | 4×–200× |
| Huge Reds | 1 / 53 | 1.89% | 10×–500× |
What is the reference Big Oranges RTP?
Several publicly available rules summaries report a 95.60% theoretical RTP for the Big Oranges bet before certain payout cap effects. This corresponds to a reference house edge of 4.40%. Treat this as a reported figure for a particular ruleset, not a universal value. Confirm the original operator rules for the live table and wager size before publishing it as current. Our RTP guide explains why the house edge differs across betting spots.
Fish reward distributions, boost frequency, and capped payouts affect long-run return. Merely counting two orange positions does not reveal the full probability of a high multiplier.
Why it matters: An orange bonus can be more valuable than a blue bonus on an individual round, but a higher maximum fish prize does not guarantee a higher expected return.
Probability tool
Big Oranges probability calculator
Model the chance of seeing at least one orange landing across a chosen number of independent reference spins. It does not collect live outcomes or forecast future results.
Calculation: 1 − (1 − 2/53)n, where n is the spin count. Values are limited to 1–1,000.
Chance of ≥1 orange landing—
No matter what happened in prior independent spins, the next reference wheel result still has a 2/53 chance of being orange. See the full odds calculator for other outcomes.
Boosts & limits
How can Big Oranges reach 2,000×?
Evolution lists the Big Oranges fish reward range as 4×–200× and bonus boosts as high as 10×. When both eligible maximums coincide, 200 × 10 gives a theoretical 2,000× combination, before any payout caps. It is not a promise that this result is offered or payable at every table or stake.
Also, a 10× boost does not change the two orange positions on the wheel. Learn the difference between the boost calculation and actual probability in our multiplier explanation and wheel guide.
Common questions
Big Oranges frequently asked questions
How many Big Oranges positions are on the wheel?
Two positions out of 53 in the commonly documented reference wheel, giving approximately 3.77% per independent spin.
What are the Big Oranges fish multipliers?
Evolution’s official game description lists 4×–200× as the base fish multiplier range. Any applicable boost and table payout cap affect the actual settlement.
What is the reported Big Oranges RTP?
Publicly available summaries of a ruleset report 95.60% uncapped theoretical RTP, corresponding to a 4.40% house edge. Verify the exact table and cap before applying it.
Are Big Oranges more likely than Huge Reds?
Yes, under the 53-segment reference layout: orange has two positions and red has one. Neither can be forecast from a sequence of past rounds.

No. The figure is only a theoretical upper combination of a 200× base fish and a qualifying 10× boost, subject to table rules and caps.
Can a results tracker predict when orange will appear?
No. If spins are independent, even a long run without orange does not increase its chance on the next wheel result.
Is IceFishings.co affiliated with Evolution?
