XXXTreme Lightning Roulette / Evolution Gaming

xxxtreme_lightning_rouletteIt’s hard to improve upon a classic.

It’s true in art, fashion, politics, and culture. Why shouldn’t it be true in online live casino gambling?

As the business continues to expand (seemingly exponentially), it seems like a new live dealer roulette adaptation is released every single day. What can a designer do to help their iteration stand out in this ultra-crowded field?

If anyone has answered this question, is has to be the team at Evolution Gaming.

After all, this is the company that released what is possibly the best live dealer game of all time

… and certainly one of the most influential!

Their Lightning Roulette has become a true classic. Nearly every roulette release that came after has been influenced by it in some way. Now, it’s getting a sequel of sorts.

How do you improve upon a nearly perfect game? Having hit a grand slam with the original, can this design firm do it again here?

Let’s take a closer look.

The Theory of Evolution

How big a deal is Evolution these days?

Well, they’ve been a pretty big deal for quite some time now. Founded in 2009, they went public in 2015, claiming at the time to be “Europe’s Largest Casino.”

Since acquiring the blue chip online gaming company NetEnt in 2020 (for the cool sum of approximately $2.1b… that’s billion, with a ‘b’), they’ve become one of the biggest overall stakeholders in the gaming space. If they once claimed to be the largest casino in Europe, they can now claim to the largest casino in the world…

… after all, in the first quarter of 2021 alone, they managed an astonishing 1,817 bets per second for clients all over the world. That’s no mean feat!

So when a company of this size labels their new release as ‘XXXTreme,’ it’s got to mean something.

To the XXXTreme

xxxtreme_lightning_roulette_2In fact, this is not the first Evolution title to appear with this label. The XXXTreme Starburst slot has proved to be a huge success. What does this mean for players?

Well, like that “extreme” game, this one offers players serious increases in volatility and risk compared to the usual casino outing.

First of all, the original multiplier features have been amped up to 11x. There are now up to 10 Lightning numbers per round, with multipliers up to 500x. What’s more, the ‘Double Strike’ feature can now boost multiples up to a max of 2000x!

Best of all, the RTP for straight-up bets a handsome 97.10%, while the RTP for all other bets is 97.30%. As is usually the case, the slightly higher house edge is associated with higher volatility. While this is not the absolute best players can find, it’s still more than competitive when compared with other offerings.

Straight-up bets pay 19:1, and other bets follow standard European guidelines. It’s also important to note that only straight-up bets can take full advantage of the win multiplier possibilities….

… so gamblers who want to set themselves up for this most potentially lucrative payout will have to remain patient and be even more strategic than usual.

And while on the subject of strategy, this title offers more betting possibilities than most roulette options as well. With a minimum wager of $0.20 and a max of $2,000, players with every possible bankroll size will find room for comfortable play here.

Visually, this is a clear step above the original. Things look even more like an HDTV game show, but the color palette is now darker, tinged with red, lending appearances an air of danger and excitement. The much-celebrated lightning lever is still there, and the overall energy of glitz and glamor is very much intact.

Finally, as with any game from this designer, player interface is offered in 23 languages (and growing). The dealers speak only English.

All in all, it’s clear that an industry titan has put nothing but its finest resources into this title. Players interested in trying it out can expect high quality attention to detail, a very fun gaming experience, and massive volatility.

Speaking of trying it out…

Where to Play

With a top name like Evolution gaming, players can enjoy the privileged position of having many potential casinos to choose from.

One excellent option is LSbet, a fine outfit that offers reliably solid bonuses for sign up, 2nd deposit, and the like. In addition to solid live dealer options, they also offer sports betting, table games, and much more. They’re offering serious bonuses at the moment, as well!

There are plenty of attractive possibilities.

In addition to Zet, Casoo, and Tsars, there are some lesser-known candidates worthy of attention.

Consider the South Africa-based Tusk Casino, which is well-regarded and is currently offering competitive bonuses (including a 100% matching bonus on initial deposits).
