Evolution has combined its tremendously popular Lightning feature with classic baccarat in this thrilling live game.
In XXXtreme Lightning Baccarat, you join one of Evolution’s Lightning studios and bet on the banker, player or a tie. Then, Lightning numbers are chosen, which can add impressive multipliers to the winning hand.
The game also includes two side bets and statistical data to help you choose the winning hand.
In our overview of the game, we’ll explain all this and more, giving you the information you need to play this and many other titles at Parimatch Live Casino.
At Parimatch, we have an extensive selection of live casino games from some of the best studios. You won’t just find games from Evolution on our site; we also have games from Playtech, On Air Entertainment, Authentic Gaming, and more.
The basic idea of XXXtreme Lightning Baccarat is to predict whether the player or banker’s hand will be equal to or closest to the value of nine. You can also bet on a tie.
There are eight standard 52-card decks, and each card has its own value, which you can find below:
When the cards are dealt, their values are added together, giving the total for the hand. If the total is in double digits, the first number is discarded. For example, if the player receives a six and a five, the total is 11; however, the first digit is ignored, so the score becomes one.
When the betting window is open, you need to decide whether to bet on the banker, the player or a tie. You can make bets by selecting the chip you’d like to bet with and then clicking on the type of bet you’d like to place.
You can also place two side bets: B Pair and P Pair - learn more about them in the ‘Bonus Features’ section.
When the betting window closes, the XXXtreme Lightning round begins. Four to eight Lightning cards are randomly drawn from a pack of 52 virtual cards. Each Lightning card is randomly assigned a multiplier of between 2x and 10x.
If you bet on a winning hand that contains a Lightning number, the Lightning multiplier will be applied to your winning total. More than one multiplier can be won on a hand.
When the Lightning numbers are chosen, the dealer deals two initial cards to the player and the banker. If both hands have equal value, the round ends in a tie. No more cards are dealt if the player or the banker receives an initial hand of eight or nine (known as a ‘natural’).
If the player or banker receives two initial cards worth zero to seven, the ‘three-card rule’ can apply. The player can decide if they would like a third card to be dealt. The banker must draw if the player stands on six or seven, and the banker’s hand totals three, four, or five. However, if the banker’s hand totals six, they must stand.
