Lightning Roulette by Evolution will electrify your live casino experience with its unique blend of roulette, lucky numbers, and payouts. You’ll be welcomed into an elegant black and gold art-deco studio when you open this stunning game. The gameplay centres around standard European roulette features: the wheel, the ball, and the table.
If you’ve ever played European roulette, you’ll find that Lightning Roulette follows the same betting format. The game uses the standard European roulette wheel with pockets numbered from zero to 36. The zero pocket is coloured green, and the other pockets are coloured red or black.
In roulette, you bet on which pocket you think the roulette ball will fall into. The game has a betting table, and you place your chips to make a bet. Bets can be placed on single numbers, known as a straight-up bet, or various groups of numbers. You can also use the racetrack at the right side of the betting table to make bets on groups of numbers, known as neighbour bets. We’ll look at the different types of bets in more detail below.
Although the first part of Lightning Roulette is the same as European roulette, the lucky numbers and lucky payouts set this game apart. You place your bets as you would in European roulette, but in this game, lightning will strike on every round, and you can win multipliers if you’ve bet on the numbers that the lightning has selected as lucky numbers.
You’ll need a funded Betano account to play the game for real money. It only takes a few minutes to open an account, and you can get started by clicking on the ‘Sign Up’ button.

Evolution has allowed you to place a vast range of standard European roulette bets in Lightning Roulette. The betting table has betting areas for inside and outside bets. Different types of bets have different payouts, depending on the odds of the bet coming in.
You can bet on the standard zero to 36 numbers of European roulette by placing your chips on the numbers inside the betting table. These types of bets are known as inside bets. In Lightning Roulette, you can place six inside bets: straight-up, corner, split, street, zero, and line.
Outside bets are bets placed using the outside areas of the betting table. These bets are placed on groups of numbers instead of single numbers. Therefore, they’re more likely to come in than straight-up bets, so the payouts are lower, but the chances of winning are higher.
It’s also possible to place a range of neighbour bets in Lightning Roulette. These bets are placed using the racetrack, another table found to the right of the betting table.
These bets cover sections of numbers on the roulette wheel. For example, you can place bets on 27 - 33, known as a Tiers du Cylindre.

The lightning bonus feature elevates the roulette experience in this game. Lightning strikes and triggers the lucky numbers and lucky payouts where you can win substantial multipliers, as explained below:
This is the part of the game where Lightning Roulette is different from standard roulette. When the betting window opens, your host will spin the ball on the roulette wheel.
When the betting window closes, but before the ball drops into a pocket, the host moves to the right wall of the studio and pulls down the lightning lever. This causes lightning to strike the RNG board, and the lucky numbers are chosen.
Remember that one to five lucky numbers are chosen in each round. The numbers are displayed on the back wall of the studio. A random multiplier is assigned to each number and displayed under it.
The lucky payouts are only valid on straight-up bets. So, if you’ve placed a straight-up bet on a lucky number, you’ll be awarded the lucky payout multiplier.
