Introducing Lightning Storm
Lightning Storm is a live game show from Evolution Gaming , the industry leader in live casino solutions, featuring a Big Wheel Roulette game.
Big Wheel Roulette refers to a large circular table device divided into multiple sections, as shown in the photo above.
When the game starts, the dealer spins this big wheel by hand, and the goal is to win additional prizes by matching the games to the squares it stops on.

Features and Popularity
Launched in 2024, Lightning Storm is a Big Wheel game that combines the Lightning Round (multiplier bonus), a key feature of Evolution Live Casino, with five bonus games.
The Lightning Storm Wheel is divided into 39 segments, 20 of which are numbered 1 through 20, and the remaining 19 segments are engraved with the leaf logo, which is Evolution Gaming’s symbol.
As the wheel spins, the numbered segments will randomly award one of five bonus games, giving you a 51% chance of winning an additional prize through the bonus game.
This means that it has the fewest segments and the highest bonus odds compared to other big wheel games from Evolution Gaming, such as Dream Catcher, Funky Time, and Crazy Time .
Additionally, the expected prize pool is also the highest, as the highest multiplier bonus (50x) in the Lightning Round and the least frequently appearing Lightning Storm in the bonus game can result in a payout of up to 20,000x.
As seen in Crazy Time or Monopoly Live, arguably the most popular game shows from Evolution Gaming , the success of a game show often hinges on the number of bonus opportunities or high payouts it offers.
Lightning Storm has quickly become one of the most engaging game shows since its release, as it brings back the multiplier bonuses and mini-game elements of the same big wheel game Crazy Time, but with fewer segments to offer a much higher frequency of bonus prizes.
Living up to its name as a game show, the unique studio theme and the dealer’s entertaining presentation further increase the tension of the game, and players can interact through chat, giving a glimpse of the liveliness of a live game.

To provide appropriate images for the situation
Please understand that the photos may not be in the same order.
The game progression is the same as described.
- A betting round takes place, lasting approximately 10 seconds, during which players place their bets by selecting their desired betting option.
- After the betting round ends, the dealer spins the wheel, awarding bonus games and multiplier bonuses to each segment (Lightning Round) .
When a Lightning Round begins, a lightning effect will appear and 5 bonus games (Hot Spot, Monster Mash, Battery Charger, Fireball, and Lightning Storm) will be randomly assigned to 20 segments.
Immediately after, at least one segment will be awarded a random multiplier bonus, with the multiplier being randomly determined between 2x and 50x.
If the wheel stops in a segment where a multiplier bonus is awarded, the winnings from the bonus game are multiplied by the multiplier and applied to the winnings.
- When the wheel stops, a prize is awarded based on the result.
When the wheel stops, the dealer announces the final result.
If you stop on the Evolution logo (leaf) segment, you will proceed to the next game without the bonus game, and if you stop on the number segment, you will proceed to the assigned bonus game.
Betting Types
- Number Bet (1-20)
You can bet on 20 numbered areas out of 39 areas where the bonus game is assigned.
You can select multiple numbers, the odds are 51.28%.
- Odd/Even Betting
This feature allows you to bet on all odd numbers or all even numbers at once.
Since there are 10 numbers for each, you will be paying 10 times the base bet amount.
- Leaf Betting
This is a way to bet on 19 zones, not just the number zones where the bonus game is assigned.
The odds are the lowest at 1:1, with a probability of 48.71%.
- Storm Chaser
Storm Chaser is a feature where you bet on the number that triggers the Lightning Storm bonus game, paying 2.7x your bet. (Example: 1,000 won bet → 2,700 won deducted)
Of the five bonus games, Lightning Storm offers the highest payout, so only one number out of 20 is eligible for this chance.
This Storm Chaser feature allows players to skip a 5% chance fight and bet on the number where the Lightning Storm is deployed.
- X Chaser
X-Chaser is a feature where you bet on a number that will receive a multiplier bonus, or Lightning Multiplier, instead of paying 7.8x your bet amount. (Example: Bet 1,000 won → 7,800 won deducted)
Since the number of zones receiving the multiplier bonus effect is determined randomly, a high additional bet amount is required and if it overlaps with the number bet, it is automatically added together.
Bonus game
- Hotspot
A multiplier bonus is granted to a total of 108 blocks, each 9 squares wide and 12 squares high. (Up to 100x)
Afterwards, the blocks are shuffled and covered, and the player chooses one of them.
When a block is revealed, a 3×3 area with a double bonus is randomly selected (all multipliers in that block x2).
Players will receive a prize based on the multiplier bonus indicated on the selected block.
- Monster Mash
A bonus game where you spin a slot with three horizontal reels to complete a monster.
Each reel is decorated with a head, torso, and legs from top to bottom, and has random numbers and multiplier bonuses applied.
If the reels are spun and all the results are numbers, the payout will be the sum of all the values, and if a multiplier bonus is awarded, the payout will increase even more.
Example 1: Head 10, Body 5, Legs 10 → Final payout 10+5+10=25
Example 2: Head X10, Body 5, Legs X10 → Final dividend 5X10X10 = 500
In other words, you can see that the higher the multiplier bonus result, the bigger the payout.
- Battery Charger
The Battery Charger involves the dealer spinning a small wheel that activates a device containing 10 batteries, each with 9 multipliers and 1 double bonus.
The small wheel is divided into red and green zones, and when the wheel stops in the red zone, the corresponding battery is destroyed and the next battery comes down and the wheel starts spinning again.
When the wheel stops on green, the multiplier written on that battery is applied to the prize and paid out.
If the wheel stops in the green zone on a battery marked X2 (double), the multiplier value of the battery located behind it will be doubled.
- Fireball
Fireball is a bonus game that differs from other bonus games in that it is determined by physical probability rather than a random number generator (RNG).
When the dealer presses the button, a red ball suspended in the air will fall and land in one of 149 pits with multiplier bonuses and double chances.
If you land on a double chance, the multiplier bonus in the pit will be doubled and you will drop the ball again, and if you land on a multiplier bonus pit, you will receive the prize with that bonus applied.
- Lightning Storm
Lightning Storm offers the highest potential payout of any bonus game, with a maximum multiplier bonus of 20,000x your stake.
The game is assigned to only one of the 20 number zones, and if a Lightning Storm appears, the dealer moves to a special stage like the picture above and the game begins.
The billboard behind the player has 3 multiplier bonuses and 8 bonus numbers engraved on it, and the player presses the number of one of the 3 structures visible in front.
The multiplier bonus and bonus number are determined by a random number generator (RNG), and the bonus payout for each structure is determined by adding the bonus number or multiplying the multiplier bonus, as in Monster Mash.
In the picture above, players who chose structure 2 did not receive a multiplier bonus, but with most of the bonus numbers activated, they received a prize with a payout of 800x (400+200+100+50+30+20).
