About Lightning Roulette
Roulette is a game that needs no introductions. Players have enjoyed it for hundreds of years at this point! That said, its rules have not stayed the same through all that time. Some elements remain the same, certainly. However, change has been an integral part of roulette. If you are bored of traditional online roulette, then Lightning Roulette by Evolution Gaming will be perfect for you!
How to Play Lightning Roulette
Upon starting the game, you will be asked to place a bet. You do this by choosing one of the available coin bonuses, and placing them on the betting board. You have a variety of wagers you can make. You can bet on just one number or several at once. The more numbers a bet covers, the less it will pay. This release uses a European roulette wheel, with 37 different positions. After setting up your wager, the wheel will spin! Lightning Roulette has a wheel that spins on its own. The host is just there to keep players entertained and to commentate on what is going on. While the wheel is spinning, the game will create up to five lightning numbers. These numbers will have a multiplier applied to them, ranging from 50x to 500x. What lucky numbers are selected is completely random.
When the wheel stops spinning, the winning number is revealed. If that number falls under one of the wagers that you have made, you win a cash prize. One thing to note is that multipliers applied using lightning numbers only work if the number was wagered on directly! If the game draws a two and it got a 500x multiplier boost, you only win the increased prize if you directly bet on the number two. On top of having main bets, we also have a few special bets. These include the four French bets played using the racetrack and wagers played through the special bets menu. These stakes still pay the same prizes that we see from the standard paytable.

Strategy & Tips
Most roulette strategies ask you to play outside, even money bets. This kind of strategy can work for Lightning Roulette as well. However, using it would be missing the sole advantage this game offers us: multipliers creating huge wins! As a result, you can leave behind betting strategies like the Martingale when playing this release.
Indeed, any sort of strategy is impossible to implement due to the truly random nature of the wheel. That said, there are some steps you can adopt to give yourself a better chance. To do so, use the special bets that Evolution Gaming has given you! Voisins, Tiers and Orphelins all cover a big chunk of the wheel while playing whole number bets. Another interesting idea would be to bet a column or all numbers of the same colour! Again, only make direct number wagers.
Doing things this way increases the cost, but also gives you a much bigger chance of winning a Straight bet! If you win a non-multiplier version, you are paid 29:1. You stand to gain a whole lot more if you get a multiplier increase!
What's our Take?
We had a blast playing this game, but it does require you to meet it at its own terms. You cannot play it like you would a standard roulette table. You have to adapt to its changed rules and multipliers. If you can do that, then we have no doubt you will thoroughly enjoy Lightning Roulette!
