What the live numbers say
Ice Fishing has the lower house edge: a published RTP of 97.1% against 96.5%, so over many rounds it keeps more of your stake.
Treasure Island has the higher ceiling (20,000x maximum vs 5,000x); bigger top prizes usually come with longer waits between them.
In the last 24 hours Treasure Island hit its bonus more often (15.5% of rounds vs 13.6%), which is what you want if you play for the feature rather than the base game.
Ice Fishing deals faster (116 rounds an hour vs 45), so the same bankroll sees more rounds, and more exposure to the edge, per hour.

- Bet count. Ice Fishing offers six spots including a combined fish bet. Treasure Island offers eight.
- Pre spin multiplier. Ice Fishing's boost lands on one leaf or fish type and pays only if that segment hits. Treasure Island's Top Slot pairs a spot with a multiplier, applying to numbers or bonus games alike.

- Side bets. Neither has a traditional side bet; the combined fish spot and the Top Slot come closest.
Bonus rounds compared
Ice Fishing's three bonuses, Lil' Blues, Big Oranges and Huge Reds, share one catch the fish format. Landing on a fish opens a short bonus for everyone holding that spot, paying somewhere between its floor and ceiling. The rarer the fish, the higher its ceiling, and a matched pre spin boost pushes a result past the base range.
Treasure Island runs four bonus games that do not resemble each other. John Silver's Loot builds a running multiplier. Billy Bones' Map reveals a grid of hidden values. Ben's Lost Marbles drops pieces down a board into their own slots. Captain Flint's Treasure moves along a path, banking a multiplier at each safe step. A matched Top Slot can raise any of the four.
Who each suits
Ice Fishing suits a player who wants a fast, uncomplicated wheel: a reliable leaf bet, fish bets for a bigger swing, and quick rounds.
Treasure Island suits a player who wants more to look at and more ways for a bonus to unfold, at a slower pace.
