Supercharge Your Table Wins in Lightning Baccarat
Baccarat is one of the best casino games you can play thanks to the fact that it requires absolutely no skill at all to play. All you have to do is pick whether you think Banker or Player will have the highest hand – that’s it. But that’s a bit boring and outdated, right?
Our good friends over at Evolution Gaming totally agree with us on that and they’ve supercharged baccarat, bringing you the biggest and best version of baccarat that we’ve ever seen. Get ready to place your bets in Lightning Baccarat and supercharge those wins!
Lightning Never Strikes in the Same Place Twice – or Does it?
The old adage goes something along the lines of: “lightning never strikes the same place twice”, so there must be something spooky about the Evolution Gaming studios, as lightning keeps striking and it keeps making our wins bigger and bigger. Once all bets have been placed, but just before the cards are dealt, lightning will strike, causing a selection of cards to have a multiplier added to them. If these cards are then drawn, the winnings on the outcome that had the multipliers are multiplied by the value shown. If two or more cards are drawn with multipliers, the multipliers are added together – giving you the potential to win up to 512x your stake!
Ties Result in a Push!
You know that feeling when you didn’t place a bet on the tie and the round is a tie? Well, that’s no longer a bad feeling as the round becomes a push, returning your initial stake. However, you do still remain in the red as a 20% fee is added to each and every bet you place. This fee isn’t returned during the event of a push, but we’d still rather take a 20% loss than a 100% loss. In the same way that this fee results in a loss on push results, it also cuts into your winnings. For example, if you place a €5 bet and you win, you will end up placing €6 into the pot, but only having €10 returned to you, not €12. These smaller wins do eventually add up and if you don’t strike a lightning multiplier win, you’ll be worse off over time than if you played regular baccarat.
Lightning Baccarat is certainly one of the most exciting versions of baccarat that we’ve seen over the years, and we absolutely love the potential of winning 512x your stake. Just one of those big wins and you’ll make more from that single round than you would in 256 wins in regular baccarat. Watch out for lightning and try not to get struck as you’re picking up your chips from the table after your next big win!
