What is Lightning Roulette and how is it Played?

Lightning Roulette plays much like European Roulette, featuring 37 pockets (0–36), a single zero, and a 97.30% RTP.  But unlike traditional roulette, Lightning Roulette adds two special mechanics:

  • Lucky Numbers
  • RNG‑based Lightning Multipliers (50x–500x)

The game resembles a live TV game show—featuring Art‑Deco styling, a dynamic host, and dramatic lightning animations.

Lightning Roulette Key Features 

  • **Wheel Layout:** 37 numbers (1–36 + single 0)
  • **Base RTP:** 97.30%
  • **Straight-Up Payout:** 29:1 (without multiplier)
  • **Lightning Multipliers:** 50x, 100x, 200x, 300x, 400x, 500x
  • **Lightning Hits per Round:** 1–5 numbers
  • **Game Provider:** Evolution Gaming

Lightning Roulette Rules & Betting Options  

Lightning Roulette supports all standard roulette bets:

  • Straight-up
  • Split
  • Street
  • Corner
  • Line
  • Dozens
  • Columns
  • Red/Black
  • Odd/Even
  • High/Low

 

But **only straight-up bets** qualify for Lightning Multipliers.  All other bets pay standard roulette odds.

Payout Table 

Straight-Up 29:1 Up to 500x
Split 17:1 No multiplier
Street 11:1 No multiplier
Corner 8:1 No multiplier
Line 5:1 No multiplier
Dozen/Column 2:1 No multiplier

Lightning Strike Mechanism (RNG Multipliers) 

Each round, Evolution Gaming’s certified RNG triggers lightning bolts across 1–5 random numbers.  If one of these “Lucky Numbers” hits **and** you placed a straight-up bet on it, you get the multiplier boost.

Example:

  • You bet $50 on number 10
  • The lightning hits number 10 for 500x
  • Your payout becomes **$25,000** instead of $1,450 (29:1)

 

How Often Lightning Numbers Hit  

  • Lightning doesn’t strike every round
  • Multipliers vary in frequency (most common: 50x; rarest: 500x)
  • Casinofy internal stats show long intervals between 500x strikes
