What are Lucky Numbers?

In Lightning Roulette, you can bet on the full range of Roulette bets just as they would in standard European Live Roulette. However, you will also get additional chances to win through randomly generated Lucky Numbers and Lucky Payouts (multipliers of 50x, 100x, 200x, 300x, 400x and 500x). After all bets are accepted, the amount of Lucky Numbers (one to five), the Lucky Numbers themselves and the amounts of the Lucky Payouts are randomly generated. Each Lucky Number pays one of the Lucky Payouts of between 50 and 500:1 if the ball lands on the Lucky Number and if you placed a Straight Up bet on that number.

How to play Lightning Roulette? 

As mentioned before, all the familiar elements of ‘regular’ Live Roulette are here — the live wheel, the live dealer, the full line-up of Roulette bets. So when the bets are open, all you need to do is decide whether you would like to bet on a number, red or black, even or odd, odd or even, columns, dozens, etc. When everyone has placed their bets and the little ball starts rolling away on the Roulette wheel then (and only then) will the system show you the Lucky Numbers. The system will pick between 1 and 5 on each spin, entirely at random. These Lucky Numbers will appear as if struck by a lightning bolt and will also show the multiplier that the system has assigned to them. As said, this multiplier can be x50, x100, x150, x200, x300, x400 and even x500. If the number you have chosen lights up, you get the normal hit amount multiplied by the amount of the Lucky Number.

Advantages of playing Lightning Roulette 

In the end picking a live table game comes down to personal preferences, but at Casumo we’re big fans of this unique Lightning Roulette version. We listed a few things that we believe make this game so unique:

- Most obviously, the payouts: Payouts on Lightning Roulette could potentially get rather hefty thanks to the Lucky Numbers with multipliers of up to x500. 

- That bit more excitement: Classic Roulette is already a lot of fun, but Lightning Roulette adds that bit of extra excitement thanks to the addition of the Lucky Numbers and their multipliers. 

- The game speed: Being called Lightning Roulette, it’s obvious that this is not going to be a slow game. Live Roulette is super dynamic and the croupiers also join in the rhythm that makes this version of Roulette go at lightning speed!

- The set: The Art Deco vibe with its black and gold colours and light and sound effects create a unique atmosphere.

Please note: Lightning Roulette also has a slight disadvantage over a traditional Roulette game. If you manage to hit a Full House on a number that is not illuminated, Lightning Roulette will pay you 30 times your bet instead of the usual 35 times of traditional Roulette.

Tips for playing Lightning Roulette

Before anything, please always get a good understanding of the game before you start playing. This might sound silly or obvious, but it’s not. If you really want to enjoy this (or any other) game of Live Roulette, you’ll have to be clear on how it works and how you can win/lose. So in case of doubt, always have another look at the game guide - as many times as necessary.  

Start off by betting with small amounts 

Now that you know everything you need to know to play Lightning Roulette, it's time to familiarise yourself with the rhythm of the game and for that you’ll simply need to start playing. The way we see it, it’s always to start betting a small amount of money and then, when you feel comfortable enough with the mechanics, you can bet as much as you feel suitable. 

Set yourself some limits

As with any other online casino game, for Lightning Roulette also applies: Make sure you don’t spend more than you budgeted for. Of course sometimes you’ll get drawn in by the excitement of the game, but at Casumo we can’t tell our players often enough, please always play responsibly. We would therefore like to remind you of our Play Okay tools which help you set different limits and help keep your gameplay in check. 

No such thing as hot numbers!

Whilst playing (any version of) Roulette it might seem that some numbers come up more often than others, that they’re “hot”. Please be warned that this is definitely not the case. It’s a hunch that you might get every now and then, but the fact of the matter is that Roulette is just a game of chance, meaning that all numbers have the exact same possibilities and there’s no such thing as a Lightning Roulette strategy.
