Lucky Ball Roulette

Introduction

Lucky Ball consists of four additional bets in roulette, which was showcased at the Stratford City casino in London. I noticed it during the 2019 Global Gaming Expo.

Rules

1. Alongside the customary bets in roulette, players can engage in four distinct Lucky Ball wagers represented in the colors red, yellow, green, and blue.
2. Once the betting period concludes, the game will randomly select a unique outcome for roulette corresponding to each color, making it visible on a display board.
3. Additionally, the game will indicate the winnings for each of the four Lucky Ball bets. The potential payouts are illustrated below.
4. For all four Lucky Ball options, the chance of winning a minor prize stands at 75%, while a significant prize has a 25% likelihood.
5. Should the roulette ball land on a number linked to any Lucky Ball bet, the player will receive the payout indicated for that specific color.
