A thorough explanation of Evolution’s Lightning Blackjack betting methods and rules!

The Lightning series is extremely popular in online casinos and has become a hot topic in Baccarat and Roulette.
 
Then came Lightning Blackjack.
It has a multiplier format that is different from Baccarat or Roulette and uses special rules.
 
This time we will explain Lightning Blackjack in detail.

◉What is Lightning Blackjack?

The Lightning series is developed by Evolution Gaming, a popular live casino company.
There is no limit to the number of seats, and while you can play blackjack, you also have the chance to increase your payout, which is unique to the Lightning series.

◉Characteristics of Lightning Blackjack

★Increase dividends with multiplier

In Lightning Blackjack, multipliers increase the payout.
 
In blackjack, strong hands and numbers are always fixed, so the winning hand determines the multiplier.

★The number of seats is unlimited and you can join at any time.

In regular blackjack, the number of players is fixed, but in lightning blackjack, there is no limit.
 
If the number of seats is limited, you will not be able to participate, but if there is no limit, anyone can participate at any time.
 
The game doesn't progress until other players complete their actions, but it's nice to be able to participate at any time.

★100% handling fee will be charged

When you participate in Lightning Blackjack, there is a 100% commission fee on your wager.
 
This is because there is an increase in dividends due to multipliers, so fees are incurred.
 
This 100% commission means that when you bet $100, you will need a total of $200.

◉Rules and how to play

The main flow of Evolution's Lightning Blackjack is as follows.

① Bet chips
② Select action
③Win with a specific hand
④ Get multiplier
⑤ Multiplier applied in next game
⑥Winnings×You can receive multiplier dividends

① Bet chips

When you play Lightning Blackjack, you first place your chips.
 
Please keep in mind that 100% processing fee will be charged at this time.
Here, the bet is 5,000 yen, but since the commission is 100%, the total bet amount is 10,000 yen.

② Select action

Here, just like in regular blackjack, you choose an action when the cards are dealt.
I selected a hit here.

③Win with a specific hand

Once all players have chosen their actions, the dealer's hand is determined.
I was able to win with 21 here, so the next game will have 8x multiplayer.

④ Get multiplier

Since you won with a hand of 21 earlier, you will start the next game with an 8x multiplier.

⑤ Multiplier applied in next game

This will be a game with the multiplier you earned in the previous game.
Here, when the cards are dealt, you select an action and wait for the other players to finish their selections.

⑥ You will receive a dividend of winnings x multiplier

If you win a game with a multiplier attached, you will receive a payout equal to your bet x the multiplier.
 
There was an 8x multiplier here, so I was able to win a big win with a refund of 45,000 yen!

◉Notes on Lightning Blackjack

★It is difficult to make a profit with normal wins

The core of Lightning Blackjack is the commission that is charged 100% of the bet.
 
As long as there is this fee, there is no problem as long as you are aware that your bet will always need to be doubled.
 
The payout for normal wins starts from 1.5x, so even if you win, the profit will only be 0.5x.

★Hard to make profit even with 2x multiplier

Even if there is a 2x multiplier, it is difficult to make a profit when playing Lightning Blackjack.
 
For example, let's say you bet 5,000 yen (10,000 yen including commission) and won 2x.
Normally, you would get 2x without a multiplier, but even with a multiplier, you only get a profit of the amount you bet.
In other words, if you win by 2x, your prize is 0.
 
This is the tough part about Lightning Blackjack. . .

★The trick is to win with a strong hand + multiplier

The multiplier tends to increase the bonus multiplier as the hand becomes stronger.
 
Therefore, it is best to aim only for wins with strong hands and aiming for multipliers.
 
If you are aiming for a multiplier of at least 3x or more, the profit when you win can be said to be sufficient.

◉Use counting tools

The most powerful basic strategy for blackjack is card counting.

By counting the cards used in blackjack, you will be able to understand the cards in the shoe.
If you can predict to some extent the cards that will be dealt, you can determine where to attack.

Of course, this card counting is also effective in Lightning Blackjack.
