Evolution launches Ice Fishing in three U.S. states

Evolution has launched its live casino game show Ice Fishing in New Jersey, Michigan, and Delaware, extending the title’s distribution into the United States. Announced on November 2, the rollout also coincides with the opening of the supplier’s fourth live casino studio in Atlantic City.

The Michigan edition is streamed from Evolution’s Grand Rapids facility, which opened earlier in 2026. The company previously announced MONOPOLY Live broadcasts from that studio on June 18, describing the facility as additional production capacity supporting its regulated U.S. operations. Ice Fishing adds another game show to its Michigan offering.

Evolution says Ice Fishing has attracted more than 26 million players worldwide since its global debut in 2025, with over 469 million fish caught within the game. Those are company-reported international engagement figures, rather than results from the newly launched U.S. editions. Evolution did not disclose U.S. wagering or revenue figures.

Wheel format connects to three fishing bonuses

Ice Fishing was first presented at ICE 2025, before its global launch announcement on August 6, 2025. Its main game uses a virtual 53-segment money wheel, with betting options covering instant payouts and entry into three fishing-themed bonus rounds: Lil’ Blues, Big Oranges, and Huge Reds.

The game’s published rules explain that random multipliers of up to 10x can be assigned after betting closes. These can increase an instant payout or enhance the fish multipliers in a corresponding bonus round. Players can watch the bonus sequences, but participation requires a qualifying wager on the relevant bonus betting spot.

The fishing sequences take place in an Arctic-themed environment, with the presenter revealing a catch and its associated multiplier. Evolution’s product documentation distinguishes the bonus outcomes from the boosts applied during the main wheel game. The U.S. announcement identifies the same three bonus names and wheel-based structure.

Jacob Claesson, chief executive officer at Evolution North America, described the U.S. introduction as the beginning of a broader rollout. Evolution expects to introduce Ice Fishing in additional regulated U.S. markets over the coming months. Its announcement does not identify the next jurisdictions or provide a state-by-state release schedule.
