Lightning Roulette

How to play

Lightning Roulette is an exciting game with electrifying roulette experience. In each game round from one to five "Lightning numbers" are randomly struck by lightning, allowing you to win 50x up to 500x (49:1 — to 499:1).

After betting time has expired, one or more "lightning numbers" with "lightning payouts" are randomly selected and the ball is spun within the Roulette wheel. The ball will eventually come to rest in one of the numbered pockets on the wheel. The player wins if he/she has placed a bet that covers that particular winning number. If the winning number is among the randomly selected "lightning numbers" and is covered by the player’s bet on a Straight Up bet, then the "lightning payout" is paid to the player.

Bet Types

You can place many different kinds of bets on the Roulette table. Bets can cover a single number or a certain range of numbers, and each type of bet has its own payout rate.

Bets made on the numbered spaces on the betting area or the lines between them are called Inside Bets, while bets made on the special boxes below and to the side of the main grid of numbers are called Outside Bets.

INSIDE BETS:

• Straight Up — place your chip directly on any single number (including zero).
• Split Bet — place your chip on the line between any two numbers, either on the vertical or horizontal.
• Street Bet — place your chip at the end of any row of numbers. A Street Bet covers three numbers.
• Corner Bet — place your chip at the corner (central intersection) where four numbers meet. All four numbers are covered.
• Line Bet — place your chip at the end of two rows on the intersection between the two rows. A line bet covers all the numbers in both rows, a total of six numbers.

OUTSIDE BETS:

• Column Bet — place your chip in one of the boxes marked "2 to 1" at the end of the column that covers all 12 numbers in that column. The zero is not covered by any column bet.
• Dozen Bet — place your chip in one of the three boxes marked "1st 12," "2nd 12" or "3rd 12" to cover the 12 numbers alongside the box.
• Red/Black — place your chip in the Red or Black box to cover the 18 red or 18 black numbers. The zero is not covered by these bets.
• Even/Odd — place your chip in one of these boxes to cover the 18 even or 18 odd numbers. The zero is not covered by these bets.
• 1-18/19-36 — place your chip in either of these boxes to cover the first or second set of 18 numbers. The zero is not covered by these bets.

After the bets are closed the randomly selected “lightning numbers” with their “lightning payouts” will be highlighted on the betting grid.

Place Bets

The BET LIMITS panel shows the minimum and maximum allowed bet limits at the table, which may change from time to time. Open the Bet Limits to check your current limits.

To participate in the game, you must have sufficient funds to cover your bets. You can see your current BALANCE on your screen.

In the Immersive view, the TIMER informs you of the duration of betting time. After it expires, the betting is closed, and no more bets are accepted.

In the classic view, the TRAFFIC LIGHTS tell you the current status in the game round by informing you when you can bet (GREEN light), when the betting time is nearly over (YELLOW light), and when betting time has expired (RED light).

The CHIP DISPLAY allows you to select the value of each chip you wish to bet. Only chips of denominations that can be covered by your current balance will be enabled.

Once you have selected a chip, place your bet by simply clicking/tapping the appropriate betting spot on the game table. Each time you click/tap the betting spot, the amount of your bet increases by the value of the selected chip or up to the maximum limit for the type of bet you have selected. Once you have bet the maximum limit, no additional funds will be accepted for that bet, and a message will appear above your bet to notify you that you have bet the maximum.

NOTE: Please do not minimise your browser or open any other tab in your browser while betting time remains, and you have placed bets on the table. Such actions may be interpreted as leaving the game, and your bets will therefore be declined for that particular game round.

The DOUBLE (2x) button becomes available after you have placed any bet. Each click/tap doubles all your bets up to the maximum limit. Note that you must have a sufficient account balance to double ALL your placed bets.

The REPEAT button allows you to repeat all bets from the previous game round. This button is available only before the first chip is placed.

The UNDO button removes the last bet you placed.

You can click/tap the UNDO button repeatedly to remove bets, one by one, in the reverse order of which they were placed. You can clear all your bets by holding the UNDO button.

The TOTAL BET indicator displays the total amount of all bets placed in the current round.

Disconnection Policy

If you are disconnected from a game round, any placed bets remain valid and are settled in your absence. Upon reconnecting, you can view bet outcomes in the History window.

Autoplay

Once you have placed a bet, Autoplay allows you to repeat your selected bet or bets for a chosen number of game rounds.

To start Autoplay, place your bets on the betting grid as usual and then click/tap the Autoplay button.

The Autoplay panel will then open, and from here you simply select the number of game rounds you would like your bet to be repeated in. Then click/tap START to Autoplay.

Your selected number of Autoplay rounds will be displayed in an indicator on the Autoplay button. The number of remaining Autoplay rounds will be updated, once Autoplay is started.

Your total Autoplay bet amount can be calculated by multiplying the number of your selected Autoplay rounds with the value of your total bet. Your remaining Autoplay limit can be calculated by multiplying the number of remaining Autoplay rounds with the value of your total bet per one round.

Your automatic game rounds will continue until either your chosen number of Autoplay rounds is complete, or you choose to stop Autoplay, by simply clicking/tapping STOP.

Placing additional bets on the betting grid or doubling your bets while Autoplay is running will not stop Autoplay. A message will appear that will allow you to choose to continue Autoplay with your changed bets or to stop Autoplay.

Roulette Valid Spin Rule

The winning number is valid only when the spin was deemed valid.

To constitute a valid spin the Roulette ball must be spun by the automatic wheel in the direction opposite to the rotation of the wheel and must complete at least 3 full revolutions around the track of the wheel before dropping and coming to rest in a numbered slot on the wheel.

An invalid spin will be declared in the following cases:

• The ball made less than 3 full revolutions
• The ball was spun in the same direction as the wheel rotation
• The ball did not fully touch the rim upon spin
• The wheel stopped rotating during the spin
• The ball came out of the wheel during the spin
• Any foreign object entered the wheel during the spin.

In the case of an invalid spin, the automatic wheel will perform a re-spin.

In the case of any irregularities, please provide the Game Number of the round in question to Live Support.

Lightning Roulette

Lightning Roulette is an original live casino dealer game developed by Evolution that’s based on European Roulette. This fast-paced version features special numbers that are chosen randomly and which can award bonus payouts of between 50x and 500x. 

The game is broadcast from a professional TV studio that’s been given an Art Deco style. High-definition cameras are strategically positioned across the room to ensure that you’re always given the best view of the house, no matter the stage of the game. 

You don’t need any special skills or experience to play since, for the most part, the game follows the rules and gameplay of the classic version. The innovative elements of the game are automatic and the live dealer will explain them as the round progresses. 

The bonus payouts are based on straight-up bets, so, as a result, standard payouts for these bets are lower than on other tables. All the other inside, outside, and racetrack bets provide standard payouts.

An Electrifying Roulette Experience

When you launch Lightning Roulette, you’ll most likely have to wait until the end of the round before you can place your bets. This is the perfect time to look around your screen and familiarise yourself with the different options and features. 

The game is designed to look less like a traditional casino and more like a modern TV studio. While the wheel is physically present, the table is entirely virtual. At the start of a new round, you can use the virtual options to place bets on the table as you would on any other roulette game. 

For a chance to win bonus payouts, you need to place straight-up wagers on single numbers. You don’t need to do this and can play the game by placing other classic bets, but you’ll miss out on the chance of winning any bonuses.

Lightning Roulette Features

When betting time is over, the studio’s main wall will transform and show between one and five random numbers that are present on the wheel. These will be the round’s Lightning Numbers and will each feature a random multiplier of between 50x and 500x. 

The roulette wheel starts to spin and the ball is dropped. Once the ball settles on a segment, the corresponding number is declared as the winner. All bets that cover the winning number are paid out. If the number happens to be a Lightning Number, straight up bets placed on it will be paid out according to its assigned multiplier. 

If the winning number is not a Lightning Number, any straight-up bets placed on it will pay out 29:1 instead of the classic 35:1. This bet has a lower standard payout to make up for the bonus prizes awarded in Lightning Roulette.

Terms and Conditions

This game has a theoretical ranged return to player (RTP) of 97.100% - 97.300%.

For any payout which gives out fractional payments, these will be rounded down to 2 decimal places.

System malfunction voids all pays and all plays.

Due to high production values of this game, lower-tier hardware may run into compatibility issues and, in certain instances, you will not be able to play.

In the event of a game in real play being interrupted, (i.e. started but not completed due to connectivity issues or accidentally closing the browser, etc.), depending on the previous state of the game, it will either resume from the point of the last play or display the outcome of the game already in play.

Any winnings will be correctly credited to the player account and will be exact according to the result prior to the game being interrupted.

All results are predetermined.
