Introduction to Lightning Ball

Lightning Ball is a live game from Evolution that offers a favorable RTP and multipliers. Welcome to another edition of the Lightning game series from Evolution, containing games such as Lightning Roulette and Lightning Lotto. Here, we get a ball-drawing mechanic with a lottery-inspired gameplay. It departs from the norm by featuring two ball-drawing machines and combines a well-produced live experience with high RTP and straightforward rules. It doesn’t have the depth of other Live Games, such as Crazy Time, but it ticks all the boxes for an above-average game.

Lightning Ball Features

The features of this game are:

Main Drum = draws 5 numbers of balls from a pool of 30, and any drawn number that matches the number on the ticket will be marked with a red daub on the game grid. When this is completed, the game host generates a random Lightning Multiplier from 2X to 50X. 

Lightning Multiplier = this randomly generated multiplier number, which ranges from 2X to 50X, is connected to the numbers drawn from the Powerball Machine. If the drawn number from the Powerball matches the power number on your ticket with at least one other regular number match, the Lightning Multiplier is applied to the ticket.

Final Thoughts on Lightning Ball

Evolution is one of the industry’s top providers, often delivering groundbreaking, industry-setting releases. As mentioned in the Introduction, this is an addition to the Lightning game series with previous releases such as Lightning Dragon Tiger, featuring the potentially lucrative Lightning Multiplier. As always, we get a polished design and a professional live host controlling the action.

Lightning Ball reminds us of the popular lottery game Keno, a classic lottery-style game that can award large payouts from small bets, boosting its appeal. However, this release departs from the norm with two ball-drawing machines and the familiar Lightning Multiplier up to 50X. We appreciate the provider’s ambition to stand out, offering us an innovative twist on a classic lottery mechanic.

Overall, with a favorable RTP of 97.02%, big potential payouts, and a good twist on familiar gameplay, this is a high-rated release from Evolution. Some might find the gameplay simplistic and less complex than other famous Evolution releases, but it should find an audience among lottery fans who want an innovative take.
