Lightning Roulette is a roulette game from Evolution that adds multipliers to the standard European wheel. Players searching for it at VoodooDreams usually want to know how it differs from ordinary roulette and what the payouts look like. The short answer is that the wheel and the basic bets are familiar, but the multiplier step changes what a winning straight-up bet can pay.
Common variants
Lightning Roulette is usually presented as one game from its provider rather than as a family of tables. Roulette in general comes in European, French and American versions, and the European wheel with one zero is the one most multiplier games are built on.
Before you play, check that VoodooDreams offers the title you want. Not every roulette variant is available at every casino, and a similar game from the same provider may be the closer match. The roulette guide explains the main versions so you can compare them.
How the game works
One to five numbers are struck with multipliers from 50x to 500x before a European wheel spin, and straight-up bets on a struck number are paid at the multiplier. Each spin uses this setup, so check the game's own information before you bet to see how the multipliers apply to each bet type.
The European wheel has 37 pockets, numbered 0 to 36. The published return to player is 97.3%. That figure is a long-run average across a very large number of rounds, not what any single session will return. The maximum win is 500x, which is the most a single round can pay. <<</FIX 1>>>

RNG version and live dealer version
Roulette is sold in two broad forms. In a random number generator (RNG) game, software decides the outcome and you play at your own pace. In a live dealer game, a real wheel is spun in a studio by a dealer, and you watch the spin as it happens.
The details on this page describe Lightning Roulette as an instant game. A dealer-run table would play differently, with the dealer handling each spin. For live tables in general, see the live casino guide. <<</FIX 2>>>
Practical tips before you play
- Read the game's paytable and bet options first, so you know what each bet pays before you place it.
- Decide on a budget before you start, and choose a stake you can comfortably afford to lose.
- Do not use betting systems such as Martingale to chase losses. Each spin is independent, so doubling stakes after a loss only increases the amount at risk and does not change the odds.
- Results are random. Past spins do not predict the next one, and a number that has not come up recently is no more likely to come up now.
