How to play XXXtreme Lightning Roulette
XXXtreme Lightning Roulette is a live casino game from Evolution Gaming. As the name suggests, the game is an extreme version of Evolution's traditional Lightning Roulette with even more and higher multipliers.
This guide aims to explain what XXXtreme Lightning Roulette is, how to play it and to inform you about the best XXXtreme Lightning Roulette strategies. In this guide, you will also learn the differences between XXXtreme Lightning Roulette, Lightning Roulette, and "regular" roulette games.
What is XXXtreme Lightning Roulette?
XXXtreme Lightning Roulette is an exciting live roulette game with "Lucky Numbers" multipliers with payouts higher than traditional American, European, or French roulette. It is operated by Evolution Gaming and is very similar to the popular Lightning Roulette live dealer game.
The most significant difference, however, is that the maximum multiplier is 2,000 with XXXtreme Lightning Roulette instead of 500 with Lightning Roulette. Chain Lightning numbers and Double Strikes have also been added to the game.
Like in a regular roulette game, you place your bets before the betting time of the current round is up, which is 18 seconds per round. When the time to bet is up, and the ball is spun, the dealer flips a switch. Then, like with Lightning Roulette, one to five random numbers are struck by lightning and will receive a random multiplier between 50x and 2,000x.
Chain Lightning can take place during every round. When this happens, up to 10 random numbers will be assigned multipliers. A number can also be hit by lightning for the second time through the so-called Double Strike feature. This can make a single bet pay up to 2000 times your stake.
You can only get such a multiplier if you bet 'Straight Up,' which means you only bet on a single number between 1 and 36. It is possible to place other sorts of bets, but then you don't have a chance of winning the high multipliers that XXXtreme Lightning Roulette is known for.
If the roulette ball falls on your chosen number, but the number has not been struck by lightning, you also win. When this happens, you win 20 times your wager, which is a lot less compared to the traditional Lightning Roulette, where you get 30 times your bet, or classic roulette, where you would get 35x.
XXXtreme Lightning Roulette Betting Methods
At XXXtreme Lightning Roulette, you bet in the same way as with classic or Lightning Roulette. However, in the case of XXXtreme Lightning Roulette, you must take Lightning Strikes, Chain Lightning, and Double Strikes into account.
A 'Lighting Strike' occurs at XXXtreme Lightning Roulette every round. This happens after the live dealer flips a switch. Random numbers (with a minimum of one and a maximum of five) then get a higher multiplier than with a normal 'single.' Instead of being paid out 30x, payouts are now as follows:
- 50x
- 100x
- 150x
- 200x
- 250x
- 300x
- 350x
- 400x
- 500x
These numbers will light up yellow on your screen.
Apart from that, there are also Chain Lightning numbers. Each game round, an expanding lightning bolt hits the wheel, which ensures that a maximum of ten random numbers get a multiplier.
The numbers hit by the Chain Lightning will glow red. If lightning strikes a number for a second time, this is called the Double Strike in XXXtreme Lightning Roulette. Numbers hit by lightning a second time can get a maximum multiplier of 2,000x.
How many numbers a Lightning Strike, Chain Lightning, or Double Strike will cover depends on which numbers these are, and which multiplier goes with each number(s) is entirely random, based on RNG. Remember: You compete for these extra multipliers if you place straight-up bets.
XXXtreme Lightning Roulette strategy
It is essential to know that there is no winning XXXtreme Lightning Roulette strategy. The game is designed so that the house always wins in the long run. However, you can still have a lucky session in which you win.
The best strategy to play XXXtremeLightning Roulette is to bet primarily on single numbers. Not only does this give you a chance to win the biggest multipliers (up to 2000x), but it is also the main reason you should play XXXtreme Lightning Roulette instead of Lightning or regular roulette.
There are a lot of different tactics when it comes to roulette (such as the Martingale system or the Fibonacci strategy), but it remains a game of chance where every round, there's a 1/37 chance the ball will land on a certain number.
XXXtreme Lightning Roulette Return to Player (RTP)
At XXXtreme Lightning Roulette, the Return to Player (RTP) is 97.10%. This automatically means that the house edge is 2.90%. Statistically, this is slightly less favorable for the player than European Roulette (97.30%). However, you can win up to 2,000x your bet per spin.
