Forty-six of the 54 sectors just pay x2. The other eight are the whole show: three bonus tiers from x3 to x1,000. Each one pays something, and each one can get multiplied again by a random x2-x10.
All three work the same way: the angler hooks a fish and a multiplier climbs. They only differ in how rare they are and how high that number can go.
Blue fish · 4 sectors
x3 - x150
The regular one. Lands often enough to actually change a session, not just show up once. The catch is the floor: an x3 after you've been feeding that bet for thirteen rounds is a loss wearing a win animation.
Yellow fish · 3 sectors
x5 - x300
The bet that feels fairest. Only one sector rarer than Big Catch, but double the ceiling and a higher floor. If you want bonus rounds without sitting on a 1-in-54 sector, this is the one.
Red fish · 1 sector
x10 - x1,000
The headline, and the trap. One sector in 54, and the only path to 1,000x. The range starts at x10 and the implied average is around x52, so most Mega Catch hits pay a slice of what the marketing number suggests.
BGaming doesn't publish the multiplier mix inside any bonus round, so the true average isn't a known fact. The figures above are derived: if each bet returns the same 96% as the game overall (normal for wheel games), then a tier's average payout has to equal 0.96 ÷ its hit chance. For Mega Catch that's 0.96 ÷ 0.0185 ≈ x52.
Two reasons to take it seriously: all three derived averages sit inside their published ranges, which they wouldn't if the assumption were wildly off. Two reasons to hold it loosely: BGaming might put a different edge on different bets, and the random multipliers also feed into bonus payouts, which would pull the base averages down a bit. Full working is on the strategy page.
The wheel disappears and you get a short scene on the ice. It takes a few seconds. Nothing to press, no cash-out, no way to change the number.
One of the eight bonus sectors ends up under the pointer. If you had a chip on that tier, the bonus round starts. If you didn't, you just lose the round like any other miss. The bonus plays out for people who backed it, not for everyone.
Before anything is decided, the game shows you the range of multipliers in play for this round. That's the crash-like bit: you know the bracket, not where inside it you'll land.
A line drops through the hole. That's just the animation. The outcome was set by the RNG the instant the wheel stopped, and nothing on screen changes it.
The number ticks up as the fight starts. People call this crash-like, with one real difference: it can't fall back to zero. There's no bust, and waiting doesn't cost you the win.
The climb stops when the fish is out of the water. Whatever value the counter reached is your final multiplier.
Your final win is the multiplier × the chips you put on that tier, then × any random multiplier sitting on that sector. The total pops up, the wheel comes back, and your chips clear for the next round.
Every tier's range starts above zero, so a triggered bonus always pays something. Read that carefully: a payout is not a profit. An x3 Big Catch after fourteen losing rounds on that sector still leaves you down. The guarantee kills the worst outcome inside the bonus. It doesn't change the 4% house edge across the session.
As the wheel starts to turn, the game can drop extra multipliers onto individual sectors. Values run from x2 to x10. If that sector then wins, the sector's own payout is multiplied by the extra. So a grey-fish x2 carrying an x5 pays x10. Bonus sectors work the same way.
That's the important bit: it applies to bonus sectors as well as fish sectors. That's how a round can theoretically go past the advertised maximum:
This is the mechanic people underestimate, and the sums show why. A single fish colour covers 23 of 54 sectors and pays x2:
| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| Sectors covered | 23 of 54 |
| Hit chance | 42.59% |
| Payout on a hit | x2 |
| Return from the x2 alone | 85.19% |
| Advertised game RTP | 96.00% |
| Gap the random multipliers must close | 10.81 points |
Nearly eleven points of the advertised return on a fish bet has to come from random multipliers. They're doing real work. If you flat-bet a colour through a stretch where no multiplier lands on your sector, you're effectively on an 85% game, and the balance drops faster than "96% RTP" makes it sound.
Working backwards, closing a 10.81-point gap with multipliers averaging about x6 implies roughly 2.5% of winning rounds carry one. That's our estimate, not a published figure. It still means random multipliers are rare events doing heavy lifting, not a little extra that shows up all the time.
Everything on the wheel in one table. Sector counts and hit chances are exact. Payout ranges are as published. Implied averages are derived, and we mark them that way.
| Sector | Count | Hit chance | Once every | Payout range | Implied average | Guaranteed win? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular White | 23 | 42.59% | 2.3 | x2 flat | x2 | - |
| Regular Grey | 23 | 42.59% | 2.3 | x2 flat | x2 | - |
| Big Catch | 4 | 7.41% | 13.5 | x3 - x150 | ≈ x13 | Yes |
| Huge Catch | 3 | 5.56% | 18 | x5 - x300 | ≈ x17 | Yes |
| Mega Catch | 1 | 1.85% | 54 | x10 - x1,000 | ≈ x52 | Yes |
| All bonuses combined | 8 | 14.81% | 6.75 | x3 - x1,000 | - | Yes |
Remember a chip applies per group, not per round. Backing all five options with a €1 chip stakes €5 that round. Casinos often set tighter limits than the provider, so treat the figures inside your game as the real ones.
One button puts a chip on all three bonus tiers, covering 8 of 54 sectors for a 14.81% hit rate. It's how most people play, and fair enough: it's the only single tap that keeps the bonus rounds in the mix.
Be clear about the cost though. It's three chips per round, so your turnover is three times a single-tier bet. At a 4% edge, tripling turnover triples the expected cost per round. You're buying a wider spread of outcomes, not better value.
Eight of 54 sectors are bonus sectors, so one lands on 14.81% of spins, about once every 6.75 rounds. By tier: Big Catch 7.41%, Huge Catch 5.56%, Mega Catch 1.85%. You only play the bonus if you had a chip on that tier.
Yes. Every tier's range starts above zero, so a triggered bonus always pays. A payout is not a profit though: an x3 Big Catch after fourteen losing rounds on that sector still leaves you behind.
As the wheel starts turning, multipliers of x2 to x10 can drop onto individual sectors. Land on one and it multiplies that sector's payout. It applies to bonus sectors too, so a x1,000 Mega Catch carrying an x10 multiplier would resolve at x10,000.
BGaming doesn't publish it, so nobody can treat a figure as official. Our estimate is about x52, assuming the Mega Catch bet returns the same 96% as the game across its 1-in-54 hit rate. The range runs to x1,000, so most results sit near the bottom and the maximum is very rare.
No. The wheel stops on exactly one sector, so at most one bonus tier resolves per round. Backing all three via All Bonuses widens which tier can trigger; it does not let two fire together.
None. Nothing to press, no cash-out. The result is fixed by the RNG the moment the wheel stops. The reeling-in clip is just the show. That's the clearest difference from a real crash game, where cash-out timing is the game.
If every option returns the same 96% (the usual assumption), then none is better value. You're picking the shape of the session, not a hidden edge. Huge Catch is the fairest compromise: nearly as often as Big Catch, with double the ceiling and a higher floor. The strategy page lets you simulate each one.
Reading the ranges is one thing. Watching an x3 land after a long dry spell is another. Trigger all three tiers in the free demo before you decide. It's the cheapest research you'll ever do.
