About Lightning Blackjack

Lightning Blackjack combines traditional Blackjack gameplay with electrifying multipliers. As part of Evolution’s award-winning Lightning family, this Blackjack variant offers players the potential to 25x their bet.

Players join the game and place their bets. After betting is closed, six multipliers of different values are assigned to the upcoming round’s winning outcomes. The game is played by following classic Blackjack rules. Should a player win their hand, they earn normal payouts. They also get a multiplier that will be carried over to the next round to multiply any winnings.

Lightning Blackjack’s main features include a live studio host, cards, multipliers, and an easy user interface. This game is ideal for players who want a regular game of Blackjack with extra opportunities to multiply their winnings.

How to Win at Lightning Blackjack – Tips & Strategies

If you have never played Blackjack before, it’s a good idea to learn the basics of the game first. This can prevent beginner’s mistakes that could mean losing money by placing uneducated bets. For example, a novice misconception is that the Ace card counts as 1. In reality, depending on the situation, it adds 1 or 11 to your card total.

It is not recommended to use the Blackjack Basic Strategy, as this method was designed for normal Blackjack. It will not work optimally for Lightning Blackjack, where you need to win at least two rounds to use your multiplier and turn a profit.

Evolution Gaming suggests a different strategy. It takes time to learn, but it might work for some players. The full details can be found in the game’s Help files, but in short, you select the multiplier range for the next hand, and the table changes dynamically to provide the optimal environment for that round.

Here’s a tip to protect your bankroll. In Lightning Blackjack, increasing your bet is not advantageous. If you do bet a larger amount and lose the round, you will lose the bet plus the Lightning Fee (an amount equal to your bet). If you reduce your bet for a round with an active multiplier, you won’t get the full value return of the multiplier. In other words, there’s no benefit to changing the amounts from one round to the next.

Features

Lightning Blackjack’s main features include a live studio and host, classic Blackjack gameplay, multipliers, and a user interface.

The Studio and Host

To provide players with an authentic experience, Lightning Blackjack is played on a genuine game table in a casino-like studio. The studio boasts a stylish black and gold art deco design. This game is streamed live and hosted by an experienced and professional dealer.

Classic Blackjack Gameplay

Lightning Blackjack follows the rules of traditional Blackjack, and this makes the game appealing to old-school players who prefer this aspect. However, one notable difference is that you pay a Lightning Fee for every round, which doesn’t happen with traditional Blackjack.

The Multipliers

The multipliers boost winnings. For example, when a player wins a hand that tallies 18, this number determines a certain value multiplier (like 8x). If you win the next round, your winnings will be multiplied by 8x. Lightning Multipliers fall into six categories: 4-17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and BJ. The higher the number, the higher the value, ranging from 2x to 25x.

The User Interface

True to Evolution fashion, you can expect a user interface that is clean and effective. It offers everything you need to learn about the game, place your bets, and view interesting statistics.

Bonuses

Lightning Blackjack is designed to provide a traditional Blackjack experience but with the added opportunity to multiply your winnings. This engaging but simple design does not include any bonus games or bonus rounds.

Payouts & Odds

Lightning Blackjack offers a hearty RTP of 99.56%. However, this only counts for the first hand out of the shoe. Subsequent hands drop dramatically to an RTP of 82.4%. Payouts are not complicated and range from 1:1 to 25:1, depending on the bet and multiplier involved.
