Evolution Gaming, the leading provider of live casino games have added another game to their award-winning Lightning range – Lightning Baccarat. The exclusive, all-new game combines live gameplay with high-pay-out RNG multipliers which are bound to be a hit.
This exciting new take on the popular Baccarat game is part of the software solutions line-up of new releases for ICE 2020. Just like the standard game, the player has to predict whose hand, the player or banker, will win by having the value closet to 9.
Once betting time has expired, the Lightning round kicks in. A lightning strike effect will land on between one and five random lightning cards. Each card will be awarded an instant multiplier. Simply match one of your cards in a winning hand to a lightning card and win one of the base level multipliers; 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 8x.
The more lightning cards in a winning hand, the more the multipliers will be. There is the potential to win as much as 512x on player and banker bets but an astronomical 262,144x on tie bets…
…that’s a win of up to €500,000 plus your bet back.
Award-Winning Stuff?
Available on mobile, desktop and tablet, Lightning Baccarat becomes the third game in Evolution’s Lightning family. If it’s anything like its predecessor; Lightning Roulette, it’s going to be a winner.
Lightning Roulette won three Game of the Year awards in 2018 and in 2019, Lightning Dice was launched; the live dealer game with stunning visuals which awards pays based on the outcome of a dice tumble.
Evolution Chief Product Officer, Todd Haushalter, said: “Two years ago we launched the multi award- winning Lightning Roulette, which has become one of the biggest games in company history. We followed this up with Lightning Dice, which has also been immensely popular. Adding multipliers and our Lightning theme on top of the most traditional game yet, Baccarat, was a natural next step in our Lightning family. Baccarat players love volatility and we are giving them all they can handle with Lightning Baccarat!”
How to Play
Learning how to play the popular casino game is simple. First you enter the live studio and decide on an amount you wish to play with. Drag your chosen value chip from your station onto the dealer table. A 20% lightning fee will be added to that value.
Once the timer reaches zero, no more bets will be accepted and that’s when the lightning strikes take effect with their multipliers of between 2x and 8x. The object here is to predict whether the player or the banker’s hand will win by having a value closest to 9.
- Aces are the lowest card worth 1-point
- Cards from 2 to 9 are worth their numerical face values
- 10’s and picture cards (J, Q and K’s) are worth 0

Never really understood how to play this game before but I’ve tied the roulette version and liked it, so I may as will give this a try. I think I understand how to play a little better now you’ve explained.
