Evolution’s game page describes the payouts but its summary does not quote a single RTP figure, so the chip is left blank. The theoretical return for each bet is in the game’s help screen. Checked .
- One to five Lucky Numbers are chosen each round and given payouts of between 50x and 500x.
- A straight-up bet that wins without a multiplier pays 29 to 1, not the usual 35 to 1.
- All other bets, such as splits, corners, red/black and dozens, pay the same as standard roulette.
How Lightning Roulette plays
The wheel has the numbers 1 to 36 and a single zero, and the ball is spun by an automatic wheel. After betting closes, the presenter pulls a lever and between one and five Lucky Numbers are generated, each with a random Lucky Payout.
If the ball lands on a Lucky Number that you covered with a straight-up bet, the bet is paid at that multiplier. Multipliers apply to straight-up bets only.
What the multipliers cost
The multipliers are funded by the reduced straight-up payout. On a standard single-zero wheel a straight-up win pays 35 to 1; here it pays 29 to 1 unless lightning strikes. Outside bets and other inside bets are unaffected and carry the ordinary single-zero house edge of 2.70%.
Straight-up play is therefore more volatile than ordinary roulette: smaller regular wins, with an occasional very large one. Evolution states the theoretical return in the game’s help screen; check it there for the bets you intend to make.
