Evolution Gaming is a leading provider of live dealer casino games. Some of the top operators, like 888 Casino, 32Red and Royal Vegas, offer live dealer games from Evolution. A new game launched by Evolution earlier this year was Lightning Roulette. It was awarded Product Innovation of the Year at the Global Gaming Awards, G2E Las Vegas and EGR's Game of the Year 2018, voted for by online gaming operators. This article explains the innovative features of Lightning Roulette.

The stand out feature of Lightning Roulette is the blending of world-class live casino action with advanced RNG game play. This revolutionary concept offers a unique player experience. All the usual Roulette bets are available. The wheel confirms to the European Roulette format with only 0, so you do not face the disadvantage of the 00 number. But there is an extra opportunity to win with additional Lucky Numbers and Lucky Payouts. In each spin of the live roulette wheel, between one and five Lucky Numbers are struck by lightning and given payout multipliers of between 50x and 500x. The exact values are 50x, 100x, 200x, 300x, 400x and 500x .These numbers and multipliers are generated randomly using software synchronised with the spin of the wheel.

After all player bets are accepted, the live dealer spins the roulette wheel. The Lucky Numbers and the Lucky Payouts are randomly generated and displayed. Each Lucky Number is associated with one of the Lucky Payouts. If the ball lands on any Lucky Number and if a player has made a Straight Up (Single Number) bet on that Lucky Number, they will have their bet amount multiplied by the Lucky Payout associated with that Lucky Number. There is no free lunch. In order to compensate for this extra payout, normal Straight Up bet wins pay 30:1 instead of the usual 35:1. All other live roulette bets such as splits, corners, red/black and dozens pay as usual.

The visual appeal of Lightning Roulette is also out of the world. The electrifying player interface is set in a stunning black and gold Art Deco environment. An immersive game show-style environment is created with advanced sound and lighting effects. Lightning Roulette is great for online casino operators as well. It has a massive multiplayer scalability and can be played by a virtually unlimited number of concurrent players. A Direct Game Launch feature allows players to connect not only from the Live Casino lobby but also from links in any web page, email or text.
