Evolution’s award-winning title is about to be revamped as a ‘Lightning Roulette Land-Based’ title thanks to a partnership agreement struck with Scientific Games!
There is no denying just how successful Live Lightning Roulette has become in Evolution live casinos after the title brought down the ‘Innovation in Live Casino’ 2018 SBC and ‘Game of the Year’ 2018 EGR Operator award. Those awards came soon after Evolution revealed their innovative roulette game with multipliers at the ICE 2018 early that year. Since then, players have continued to flock to the game in search of multipliers that can reach up to a staggering 500x the ‘bet amount’. Now, this magnificent live casino game is about to do the rounds in a host of land-based casino establishments via an exclusive agreement with Scientific Games.
In the Evolution live dealer studios streamed to live casino players online, Lightning Roulette has a dedicated studio, and now it will have dedicated floor space in land-based casinos globally. Presumably somewhere on the fringes of the main casino floor to lure in punter from the traditional blackjack, baccarat, and roulette tables that customarily take up the lion’s share of the most profitable floor space in the casino.
With brick-and-mortar establishments always looking for ways to spice up the action around the casino floor, Lightning Roulette would be the perfect attention grabber!
You can already picture just how this would work. A roulette table with a TV game show style setting, a themed back wall, flashing lights in a disco like display as the lightning comes crashing in to add multipliers, and then crowds of people cheering on multipliers dished out by an integrated random RNG system. It could even take the attention away from the slots!
An Ingenious Game That Has Changed The Way Players Bet On Roulette!
What makes this game special is that up to 5 multipliers can spread across numbers of the roulette table and each one could be worth 50x, 100x, 200x, 300x, 400x, or 500x your total straight-up bet. When all bets are down and the wheel spins, the host pulls a leaver and lightning selects 1 to 5 numbers before the ball pings into one of the number slots on the wheel.
Scientific Games is likely going to offer its partner casino two options:
- 29-1 Straight Up Bets: Evolution reduces the payout of the straight-up bet to 29-1 to make up for the multiplier chance. All other bets such as odds/evens, spots, and corners remain unaffected. Therefore, only on straight bets if you €-£-$ 1.00 and win, your return is €-£-$ 30 (including your €-£-$ 1.00 bet returned). Even though this by doing this, the usual straight-up bets RTP of 97.3% lowers itself to roughly 81%, players, the fact that you can win 1 to 5 multipliers on a single coup makes the game worthwhile for those using 60%+ single number coverage betting strategies – hence the immense popularity!
- 80% Of Bets Count: There was a brief switch on some version of the game which brought the pay out back up to 35-1. However, every straight up bet has 20% deducted. In other words, if you win with a €-£-$ 1.00, your payout is €-£-$ 36 minus 20%, so really you win €-£-$ 28.80 in return. It’s slightly less than the above version, and a few land-based may prefer this option as it appears to be more profitable.
As far as all other bets on the Lightning Roulette table, the only one affected is the straight up bet. Players have the option to play on this table as normal betting outside bets such as odd/even, high/low, red/black, dozens, and columns, as well as the full range of inside bets. There is also an innovative racetrack, so you can bet on sections of the wheel, custom audio and visual settings, and of course a live presenter and live chat adding a highly engaging social aspect to game!
Quite which payout version Scientific Games will offer land-based casinos, or whether it will give them the option, we don’t know yet! However, we will follow land-based casinos where Lightning Roulette pops up and give you a full report. And if Evolution and Scientific Games decide to make the tables ‘Dual Play’, players will have the chance to play this titles alongside people physically at the tables inside the land-based casino establishment!
