The theme for Lightning Roulette is that of a gameshow. It uses hosts to really ram this home with them acting just as a real TV show host would. The visuals on offer lean towards a classic casino look with both the color scheme and layout lookinglike it has come directly from a casino. The hosts are all well informed of the rules for roulette and ensure that everything runs smoothly.

The background for Lightning Roulette looks exactly like a casino based TV gameshow. It offers the show itself in the center of your screen, with your betting table framing it in order to make it quick and easy to both keep your eye on the action and place your bets. Everything works together superbly with Lightning Roulette to create a real gameshow experience that you can play from the comfort of your own home.

Lightning Roulette offers 10 different ways to place a bet when you start playing. They are split into 2 sections:

1. Inside bets
2. Outside bets

The inside bets are as follows: straight up, split, street, corner and line.

To a newcomer to roulette the straight up is just 1 number on its own, the split is 2 numbers that are adjacent to each other, the street is 3 numbers that are adjacent to each other, the corner is 4 numbers that are adjacent to each other and the line is 6 numbers that are adjacent to each other.

The outside bets are as follows: column, dozen, red/black, even/odd and 1-18/19-36.

These are a little easier for a newcomer to work out. The column is all of the numbers on a vertical line on the roulette board, the dozen is 12 numbers choosing from either 1-12, 13-24 or 25-36, the red/black is choosing either the red or the black numbers, the even/odd is choosing either the even or the odd numbers and 1-18/19-36 is choosing either one of those 2 groups of numbers.

Once you have placed your bet the wheel will spin, with a single ball bearing landing in one of the spaces for the numbers, as a visual representation of the random number generator.

Once the ball has laid to rest, there is one more thing before any potential payouts occur.

At random intervals some of the numbers will be chosen to be the Lucky Numbers.

If you have played a straight up bet and managed to choose the winning number then the Lucky Numbers can increase your winnings. If your winning number is chosen to be a Lucky Number then it will have a random multiplier to increase your win.

Anything from 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 or 500 can be applied to the winning number when the Lucky Numbers triggers.

In terms of wagering limits Lightning Roulette allows the player to set their own specificationscombined with whatever each individual casino allows their users to wager. Some casinos may expect players to be higher up their VIP program before allowing larger wagers for example.

The payouts for Lightning Roulette vary depending on the type of wager that has been placed. For a straight up wager the maximum payout is 30 times your stake, or 500 times your stake if the Lucky Numbers is triggered. A split pays 18 times your stake, a street pays 12 times your stake, a corner pays 9 times your stake and a line pays 6 times your stake.

For the outside bets the column and dozen both pay 3 times your stake while the red/black, even/odd and 1-18/19-36 all pay 2 times your stake.

Lightning Roulette offers a fantastic looking game that will instantly draw you into the pageantry of a gameshow. The hosts are fun and knowledgeable and ensure that the game doesn’t become a monotone experience. It won’t take long for you to really get into the theme of the game and feel like you’re there and not sitting at home.

In terms of gameplay Lightning Roulette offers something a little different to most roulette games on the market. The Lucky Numbers feature makes sure that each round has some tension as you wait to see if the Lucky Numbers are triggered and if they are what multiplier will be applied to them. It is almost like the tension that video slot games provide. Overall Lightning Roulette is an enjoyable experience that keeps the player engaged throughout.
