Lightning RouletteVolatility Guide
Lightning Roulette adds significant variance to traditional roulette through random multipliers. Understand the volatility difference for smarter betting.

Lightning Multiplier Impact on Variance
Standard Straight-Up
Without Lightning, straight-up wins are predictable at 29:1 (reduced from 35:1 in standard roulette to fund the multiplier feature).
With Lightning Multiplier
Lightning adds extreme variance. Most straight-up wins pay 29:1, but occasional Lightning hits deliver 50-500x, creating large outcome spread.
