How PowerUP Roulette works, from the first bet to the fifth bonus round
A PowerUP Roulette round looks like a normal live roulette round until the ball lands on an announced number. Then it becomes something else. Here is the full sequence, including the part most rounds never reach.

1. Betting
The window opens, usually 15 to 20 seconds. Place chips on the layout or racetrack as on any live table. Save favourite bets and use autoplay if you like; the game supports both. Every straight-up you place is automatically eligible for the bonus if its number is a PowerUP number and wins.
2. The PowerUP numbers
Before or as betting closes, the game announces the PowerUP numbers for this spin. They are highlighted on the layout. You cannot add bets once they are shown and the window has closed, so you do not know in advance which of your numbers will be PowerUP numbers. That is the design: the bonus is a random enhancement to bets you already made.
3. The spin
The dealer launches, the ball drops. If it lands on a number that is not a PowerUP number, the round settles: outside and combination bets at standard odds, straight-ups at the reduced base payout. If it lands on a PowerUP number and nobody at the table has a straight-up on it, the round also settles normally. If it lands on a PowerUP number that you have a straight-up on, you enter the bonus.

4. The bonus round
The bonus round awards extra prizes to qualifying straight-up bets, added to what has already been won. Within the bonus round, a further PowerUP outcome can trigger the next round. Each new round doubles the prize pool for the next. The chain can continue up to five rounds in total.
5. Settlement
When the chain ends, everything is paid: the base win, the bonus prizes from each round reached, capped at €500,000 per round on a straight-up. The provider's figures for the full chain are a maximum fifth-round prize of 2,600x to 8,000x and an accumulated total of 800x to 15,525x across the main game and all five rounds.
Timing
A round with no bonus runs at normal live pace, around 40 to 50 seconds. A bonus round adds time; a chain of several adds a lot. If you bet outside, the bonus is dead time; if you have the qualifying straight-up, it is the point.
What outside bettors see
The same wheel at the same odds, plus occasional pauses while someone else's straight-up goes through the bonus. Red, black, dozens and columns pay standard and cost 2.70%. The PowerUP mechanism does not touch them, which is why the table is cost-neutral for outside play and a premium product only for numbers.

Questions and answers
Do I need a special bet to enter the PowerUP bonus?
No. Any straight-up bet on a PowerUP number that wins enters the bonus. There is no separate side bet to buy.
Can outside bets win in the bonus round?
No. The bonus rounds apply to straight-up bets only. Red, black, dozens and the rest settle at standard odds in the main spin and take no part in the bonus.
