Roulette review

XXXtreme Lightning Roulette: bets, payouts and RTP

XXXtreme Lightning Roulette is Evolution's high-variance Lightning Roulette: Chain Lightning can add up to nine more Lucky Numbers and Double Strikes lift a straight-up win to 2,000x.

An unstruck straight-up win pays 19:1, lower than Lightning Roulette's 29:1, which pays for the larger multipliers. Evolution launched it on 25 May 2022.

Our verdict: For players who want the biggest single-number swings in Evolution's roulette range and accept that most straight-up wins pay only 19:1.
