William Hill Lightning Roulette

 

Lighting Roulette still seems to be the flavour of the month at bunch of live casinos, with numerous promotions being run to entice players onto this new table.

Judging by player numbers, the strategy looks to be working. During an off-peak session today 150-200 players were trying desperately to land a big Lightning Number payout. It also fair to say, that offers/inducements/tournaments aside…this game does tend to hook you in.

Low skill games with reduced theoretical returns camouflaged behind flashy graphics, epic background music and the promise of big payouts usually aren’t my thing. Lightning Roulette has all these in abundance, however I found myself playing a few more rounds of this game than sense would otherwise dictate.

William Hill is a registered I.B.A.S bookmaker. For customers outside of Great Britain, this website is operated by William Hill Global PLC, a company registered in Malta with registration number C96298 and registered office at William Hill Global PLC, Tagliaferro Business Centre, Level 7, High Street, Sliema SLM 1549, Malta. There’re various Casino Slots Welcome Bonus factors to look into. First, it would be better if you chose a game from a world spread software provider.

It’s a game of chance within a game of chance.

Once your bets are placed, you wait with interest to see if any of your numbers will be selected as Lightning Numbers, and if so, what enhanced payout will apply…50x, 200x or maybe even 500x?

William Hill Lightning Roulette Facts

Then, if you do happen to have a chip on any of the Lightning Numbers, you find yourself watching that spin very, very closely indeed.

Now, amid all the excitement of lightning graphics, lightning numbers, big multipliers and that Who-Wants-To-Be-Millionaire-esc background music, it’s important to know just how much money you’re likely to hand over playing this game over time…that is to say it’s theoretical return to player rate (RTP).

Evolution Gaming, as they always do, publish the RTP on the game rules.

97.3% ain’t to bad. The same as European Roulette fact. But this is because (as they do point out), this RTP is based on Split, Street, Corner, Line and Outside bets which offer identical payouts to regular European Roulette.

But the bets that everyone playing Lightning Roulette is interested in is the Straight up bets. These are the ones that have the big lightning multipliers applied. They also have a reduced payout of 29:1 when lightning multipliers aren’t applied. It would be nice to know the RTP for the one category of bet that distinguishes this game from regular roulette.

There’s a little camouflage for you.

William Hill is a new player in the NJ online casino market with an extremely limited game library.

Here’s the good news: Live dealer games are coming soon via a partnership with Evolution, a leading provider of Live Casino products.

Details were announced last week via a press release. The rollout will begin in New Jersey and will be streamed live from Evolution’s Atlantic City studio.

Johan Nordstrom, chief executive officer, Malta, and chief commercial officer at Evolution, commented on the partnership.

“We are very proud to have been selected by William Hill US. Our Live Casino solutions have been instrumental in helping to make William Hill’s Live Casino a standout offering in regulated European markets. We very much look forward to achieving the same high levels of success for William Hill in the United States,” said Nordstrom.

William Hill online casino expansion

New Jersey regulators are familiar with Evolution’s products already. Other online casino operators in the Garden State, like Bet MGM Casino and DraftKings Casino, already offer them. They include:

  • Baccarat
  • Blackjack
  • Lightning roulette
  • Poker
  • Monopoly Live

Perhaps what Evolution is best known for, however, is the first-person design of its games. When playing baccarat or roulette, for example, the game is set up to make the player feel he/she is in the game instead of merely observing it.

William Hill online casino customers will soon get the same opportunity. The press release does not include a launch timetable.

For now, users who click on casino tab on the app will notice three slot titles and five table games. Keep in mind, the soft launch took place earlier this month via the Tropicana Atlantic City license.

Adding Evolution to its menu certainly makes William Hill competitive on the table games side. The company will still have some work to do in regard to building out a competitive online slot offering, however.

Everi’s Remote Game Server is a popular option for slots. That might be the direction that William Hill goes next in expanding its offerings.

In the online casino business, market share is a coveted prize. The keys to dominating a market are acquiring customers and keeping players engaged.

That requires a good amount of capital. Soon, William Hill’s casino product should see an influx of that from a source familiar to the brand and gamblers alike.

William Hill brand in the United States

Pending regulatory approval, Caesars Entertainment plans to buy William Hill for $3.7 billion. The earliest that the transaction might close would be late next year, however.

If it does go through and depending on the terms of the sale, that would put the marketing might of Caesars behind William Hill’s online casino. Additionally, it would bring the whole of Caesars’ customer base to the brand.

Integrating online gambling on the William Hill app/website into Caesars Rewards could be another great enticement for players. Until then, however, William Hill isn’t left without any options on how to build its business.

Integrating the casino into one app makes sports bettors a ready-made audience as well. While there’s no guarantee that bettors will take to iGaming at a high rate, any conversion is welcome for William Hill.

For William Hill, getting a chunk of a market that has recently flirted with $90 million in monthly revenue makes partnering with Evolution a worthwhile investment. The truth is, competing without that solid variety of games would be quite difficult.
