Lightning Roulette
Game Rules
Lightning Roulette is an exciting game with electrifying roulette experience. In each game round from one to five "Lightning numbers" are randomly struck by lightning, allowing you to win 50x up to 500x (49:1 — to 499:1).
The objective in Lightning American Roulette is to predict the number on which the ball will land by placing one or more bets that cover that particular number. The wheel includes the numbers 1-36 plus a single 0 (zero) and a double zero (00).
After betting time has expired, one or more "lucky numbers" with "lucky payouts" are randomly selected and the ball is spun within the Roulette wheel. The ball will eventually come to rest in one of the numbered pockets on the wheel. The player wins if he/she has placed a bet that covers that particular winning number. If the winning number is among the randomly selected "lucky numbers" and is covered by the player’s bet on a Straight Up bet, then the "lucky payout" is paid to the player.
Bet Types
You can place many different kinds of bets on the Roulette table. Bets can cover a single number or a certain range of numbers, and each type of bet has its own payout rate.
Bets made on the numbered spaces on the betting area, or on the lines between them, are called Inside Bets, while bets made on the special boxes below and to the side of the main grid of numbers are called Outside Bets.
INSIDE BETS:
- Straight Up — place your chip directly on any single number (including zero).
- Split Bet — place your chip on the line between any two numbers, either on the vertical or horizontal.
- Street Bet — place your chip at the end of any row of numbers. A Street Bet covers three numbers.
- Corner Bet — place your chip at the corner (central intersection) where four numbers meet. All four numbers are covered.
- Five Bet — place your chip on the outer boundary line of the betting grid between 0 and 1 (at the point where the bottom-right corner of the number 0 meets the bottom-left corner of the number one).
- A Five Bet covers five numbers: 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3.
- Line Bet — place your chip at the end of two rows on the intersection between the two rows. A line bet covers all the numbers in both rows, a total of six numbers.
OUTSIDE BETS:
- Column Bet — place your chip in one of the boxes marked "2 to 1" at the end of the column that covers all 12 numbers in that column. The zero and double zero is not covered by any column bet.
- Dozen Bet — place your chip in one of the three boxes marked "1st 12," "2nd 12" or "3rd 12" to cover the 12 numbers alongside the box.
- Red/Black — place your chip in the Red or Black box to cover the 18 red or 18 black numbers. The zero and double zero is not covered by these bets.
- Even/Odd — place your chip in one of these boxes to cover the 18 even or 18 odd numbers. The zero and double zero is not covered by these bets.
- 1-18/19-36 — place your chip in either of these boxes to cover the first or second set of 18 numbers. The zero and double zero is not covered by these bets.
After the bets are closed the randomly selected “lucky numbers” with their “lucky payouts” will be highlighted on the betting grid.
Neighbour Bets
Click/tap the NEIGHBOUR BETS button to view a special oval or racetrack-shaped betting area that allows you to place neighbour bets and other special bets more easily. Re-click/tap the button to close/re-open this feature.
Each bet covers a different set of numbers and offers different payout odds. Bet spots will be highlighted.
A neighbour bet covers a particular number as well as other numbers that lie in close proximity to it on the Roulette wheel. To place a neighbour bet, click/tap a specific number on the racetrack. A chip will be placed on the chosen number and on numbers that neighbour it to the right and left. Click/tap on the circular "-"or "+" button to increase or decrease the set of neighbours to the right and left of the chosen number.

More Games

Multi-Game Play
If you enjoy non-stop action, you can join more than one game table — then view and play them simultaneously, all in the same browser window!
After you have joined at least one game table, click on LOBBY. In the lobby or game, click the +TABLE button associated with that table to join it. Certain tables may be unavailable for multi-game play and will therefore not display a +TABLE button.
After you have joined multiple tables, you will be able to resize your browser window as a whole, but you will not be able to resize each game table window separately.
You can exit any table without affecting your presence at other tables you have joined. To exit a table, click the X button.
Please note:
- You will exit a table automatically if you join the same table through a different device/browser.
- If you click directly on a table icon instead of the +TABLE button, you will merely switch tables instead of joining the chosen table in addition to the table you joined previously.
We kindly advise you to join only as many tables as your screen can accommodate while still allowing you to place bets deliberately and accurately.
