Evolution announced Nov. 2 that it has introduced its live casino game show Ice Fishing to the US online casino market following strong international interest.
The game is now available in New Jersey, Michigan and Delaware. The New Jersey online casino debut coincides with the opening of Evolution’s fourth live casino studio in Atlantic City.
Evolution said Ice Fishing has attracted more than 26 million players worldwide since its 2025 debut, and they have caught more than 469 million fish.
Ice Fishing combines wheel spins with bonus games
The game features a virtual money wheel with 53 segments and three bonus games: Lil’ Blues, Big Oranges and Huge Reds. Players can choose spots that pay out immediately or play for a chance to enter one of the bonus games. Random multipliers of up to 10x can also apply to selected wheel segments.
Set in a frozen fishing world, the game emphasizes game-show entertainment and interactive features, which set it apart from traditional live casino table games.
Jacob Claesson, CEO of Evolution North America, called the game a “viral hit with players around the world.” “It’s fun, fast and unlike anything else in our Live Casino portfolio,” Claesson said.
Evolution’s chief product officer, Todd Haushalter, recently discussed what separates the company’s hits from its misses, saying overly complicated gameplay and technology hurt some live casino games. Simple games still work, he said.
New studios support US online casino launch
In Michigan, online casino players can access the game through Evolution’s Grand Rapids studio, which opened in May 2026. It is the company’s second Michigan studio and its seventh live casino studio in the United States.
When the studio opened, Evolution said it would launch Ice Fishing later in 2026, along with blackjack, roulette, baccarat and other live dealer games. The studio also supports content from Evolution’s sister brand Ezugi, giving Michigan operators a wider game selection.
More US launches planned
Claesson described the US debut as “just the beginning for Ice Fishing in the US.” Evolution expects to roll out the game in additional regulated US markets over the coming months, according to the press release.
The company has not named the next states, given specific launch dates or said which casino operators currently offer the game in New Jersey, Michigan and Delaware.
