Lightning Roulette Game Characteristics
Lightning Roulette is streamed from an ultra-modern Latvian casino room, with yellow-lit pillars. Generally, it is divided into three sections. The on/off racetrack is at bottom right, while the main grid is at bottom left—there is another cascading grid behind the dealer. Its brown-and-off-white 3D roulette wheel—on a yellow stand—is at top center, between the chat interface at top left and statistics at top right.
There is a color-changing strip at the middle, displaying: a 15-second green bet-placement session; a two-second yellow “bets closing” session; red “bets closed” stage; a yellow lightning round; and a gray outcome-showing stage.
The main grid’s bets: straight up, split, street, corner, line, column (top, central and bottom columns), dozen (1st 12, 2nd 12, and 3rd 12), red/black, even/odd, and 1-18/19-36. The +/- 0-9 neighbors bets: tier, orphelins, voisins, and zero.
Lightning Roulette has six casino chips $0.20, $0.50, $1, $2, $5, and $25. All bet types have a $0.20 minimum bet limit. Maximum bet limits: straight up needs $250.00; split up requires $500.00; street up requires $750.00; corner up requires $1000.00; line up needs $1500.00; column, or dozen bets require up requires $3000.00; and red/black, even/odd, and 1-18/19-36 require $5000.00. Table limits: $0.20 minimum and $5000.00 maximum bets.
During the lightning round, two to four suspended gold bars-like features reveal two to four lucky numbers that are then assigned between X50 and X500 bet multipliers. Thereafter, the roulette wheel starts spinning before displaying its ball’s stoppage number that is also highlighted by a double-ringed yellow marker.
Straight up pays between 29:1 and 499:1. Split pays 17:1. Street pays 11:1. Corner pays 8:1. Line pays 5:1. Column, or dozen pays 2:1. Red/black, even/odd, or 1-18/19-36 pays 1:1. The maximum single win is X500 for a winning straight up, which is $125,000.00. Lightning Roulette’s non-progressive jackpot is $200000.00.
The Lightning Roulette software features: playing history; hot/cold statistics; on/off hide players’ chats (including chat moderator Nitsa), auto zoom-in video, leave winning bets, and 30-minute or 60-minute game session reminders; and volume slider for the master volume, studio sound, and game effect.
Sounds: unmute/mute the voices of the live presenters whose names include Mario, Ieva and Marks; and effects like rattling, chinking, ringing, and jingling. There are immersive view and classic view options for spinning wheel.
The cinematic graphics include lightning bolts, cascading grid, spinning, flashing, glowing, and electromagnetic radiation. The video quality options: auto-adjust, HD, high, and medium.
