XXXtreme Lightning Roulette – is an exciting game that provides an electrifying Roulette experience. In each game round, one to five “lightning numbers” are randomly struck by yellow lightning, allowing you to win multiplied payouts from 50x up to 500x (49:1 to 499:1). As a bonus, each of the yellow lucky numbers have a chance to strike additional bet spots on the betting grid to increase the total amount of lucky numbers up to 10 in that game round. Also, in each round there is the chance of red lightning appearing and boosting the already shown multipliers to even higher values. Red lightning allows you to win 50x up to 2000x (49:1 to 1999:1).

The objective in XXXtreme Lightning Roulette is to predict the number on which the ball will land by placing one or more bets that cover that number. The wheel includes the numbers 1–36 plus a single 0 (zero).

After betting time has expired, one or more lightning numbers with increased 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 they placed a bet that covers that winning number. If the winning number is among the randomly selected lightning numbers and is covered by the player’s bet on a Straight Up bet, the appropriate increased 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.
• 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 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 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 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 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.
