Lightning Baccarat

Lightning Baccarat is an exciting Live Baccarat game that combines our world-class Live Baccarat with a chance for the players to win big multiplied payouts on their winning hand.

In Lightning Baccarat, every game round features 1–5 randomly generated Lightning Cards from a virtual 52-card deck, plus randomly generated payout multipliers. If the player wins on a hand with one or more matching Lightning Cards, the winnings are multiplied accordingly (from 2x to 8x). With three matching lucky cards the total winnings could be multiplied by as much as 8x8x8 (512x)! Even more exciting, a winning bet on a Tie with six matching Lightning Cards can result in a multiplier of 262,144x.

As with all our Lightning games, Lightning Baccarat is presented in a stunning black and gold Art Deco environment with an electrifying user interface, adding an entirely new dimension to the traditional Baccarat game.

Prior to each deal, the player can wager on whether the player’s hand or the banker’s hand will win by being closest to 9. The player also has the option to wager on a Tie (i.e. both the Banker’s and Player’s hands will total the same).

Players will see two additional betting spots – Player Pair and Banker Pair. These allow the player to bet on either the Player’s or the Banker’s first two cards being a Pair. No further side bets are available.

A 20% Lightning Fee is added to each player’s total bet and this is visible in the user interface.

LIGHTNING ROUND

After the betting time period has expired, the Lightning Round starts. Each Lightning Round features 1–5 randomly generated Lightning Cards from a virtual 52-card deck, plus randomly generated payout multipliers for each Lightning Card.

The Lightning Cards with multipliers are shown in the user interface before the dealing of the cards in the main Baccarat game.

CARD DEALING

After the Lightning Round, the Player and Banker are dealt two or three cards depending on the value of their hands according to standard Baccarat rules.

During dealing, Lightning Cards are highlighted in the user interface if a matching card has been dealt, to make the player aware that there is a chance for multiplied winnings.

GAME OUTCOME

If the player has placed a bet on a winning hand, the payout will be according to the payout table.

If the player’s winning hand contains one matching Lightning Card the winnings will be multiplied accordingly (i.e. 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 8x).

If the player has more than one matching Lightning Card in a winning hand, the winnings are multiplied again. For example, with three matching Lightning Cards the total winnings could be multiplied by as much as 8x8x8 (512x)! A winning bet on a Tie with six matching Lightning Cards can result in a multiplier of 262,144x. All winnings are capped to €500,000 plus bet.

The player must have the matching Lightning Card/s in their winning hand to receive a multiplied payout.
