Lightning Roulette by Evolution Gaming

Evolution Gaming developed many live roulette variants between 2015 and 2020, and Lightning Roulette, released in 2017, was one of the most popular. The game has won the "Most Innovative Game of the Year" and "Game of the Year" awards so far and still remains the most popular real money live roulette variant in many Canada casinos.

The most important reason why it is a popular game is that it includes multiplier payments. In this game, in addition to the standard roulette payouts, you have the chance to win up to 500 times your stake. The name of the game is due to the advanced lightning effects displayed in the background: what the multiplier value will be is always displayed with an impressive effect. If you're interested in playing live dealer Roulette Lightning, here's everything you need to know, including the specific rules of this game.

Characteristics and Features

The difference of the Lightning Roulette casino game is its “preparation stage”. After the players place their bets, the game selects “Lucky Numbers” first. On another screen, you see that 1 - 5 random numbers are selected, and different multiplier values ​​are assigned to them. The multipliers are also random, but they are either 50x, 100x, 200x, 300x, 400x, or 500x. Let's give an example:

• The lucky number is determined on the first spin: let's say this number is “red 7”.
• In the second spin, the multiplier value of this number is determined. Let's assume that this is also set to “200x”.
• The game starts only after this stage is completed.

The dealer spins the live Lightning Roulette wheel after the lucky numbers and multiplier values ​​are determined. After that, the game works like European roulette. However, if the result is one of the lucky numbers, players who bet on that number also qualify for a multiplier payout. Let's say you invested 100 CAD on Red 7: the multiplier of this number was 200x. If the red 7 wins, you can get paid 20,000 CAD (100 x 200).

Despite the high payouts, the game's minimum bet limit is quite low, and the general betting range can appeal to any budget. In the table below, you can see the Lightning Roulette live bet limits.

Pros & Cons

In its simplest form, Lightning Roulette live is a variant of European roulette with multiplier payouts of up to 500x. You don't need to relearn the rules to play Lightning Roulette, you just need to learn how the “lucky numbers” mechanic works. But on the other hand, due to the same mechanics, this game offers lower payouts and a slightly higher house edge.

How to Play

Apart from the Lucky Numbers mechanic, you can play this table game like classic European roulette. Betting options do not differ: you can bet by placing your chips on the outcome you have chosen on the table. You can bet on a single number, a range of numbers, a color (red/black), or odd/even numbers. Each of these options pays between 1:1 and 30:1 in Lightning Roulette online.

After the players have placed their bets, Lucky Numbers are selected, and their multiplier values are determined as explained above. After that, the dealer spins the wheel and announces the result. If the result is not one of the lucky numbers, the game pays out normally and the next live casino Lightning Roulette round begins. However, if the result is a Lucky Number, players who bet on that number are also eligible for the multiplier payout.
