Lightning Roulette on Stake: multipliers and the trade-off

Lightning Roulette is Evolution's European roulette with a twist. Each round, a few random numbers get multipliers for straight-up bets. To pay for that, the normal straight-up payout is lowered. Outside bets work as usual. It's more exciting on single numbers and roughly the same edge overall. 18+.

How it works

The wheel and layout are European. After bets close, lightning strikes a handful of numbers with multipliers. If your straight-up number wins and was struck, the multiplier applies.

The trade-off

Without a strike, a straight-up win pays less than standard roulette. You give up a bit on most wins for a shot at a large one.
