You’ll need an active and funded account to play First Person Lightning Blackjack. If you don’t have an account, you can register today by hitting the ‘sign up’ button and entering your details. You must be 18 to play; ID verification will be required.

Once signed up and logged in, return to this page and click on the game tile to launch the title. You’ll be transported into the luxurious gaming environment and invited to join the table. In this virtual game, you only play single-handedly against the virtual dealer.

If you are new to playing blackjack, the gameplay is straightforward, and you should find it easy to follow. Your objective is to try to end the round with a hand stronger than the dealer’s without going over 21 points.

The game is played with 8 decks of regular playing cards, which are shuffled between each game round. Picture cards are worth 10 points each, number cards hold their face value, and aces are either 11 or one point, depending on what suits your hand best.

The different coloured augmented casino chips offer your betting choices. Select your desired bet size, then lay it on the table in the appropriate position and hit DEAL to start your game. You will receive two face-up cards, while the dealer has one face-up card and one face-down card.

Pick from the following plays based on the cards in your hand:

• Hit: Take another card to try and improve your hand value.
• Stand: Keep your current cards.
• Double: Double your bet and receive one additional card.
• Split: When you have two equal-value cards, you can split them into two hands and play each individually.

If your hand value exceeds 21 points, you bust out of the game and lose the round. If you stick at 21 or less, the dealer reveals their second card and your hands are compared. If the dealer’s hand is 16 or less, they will take another card. If it is 17 or above, they will stick.

If your hand is higher in value than the dealer’s after they have taken their shot, you win the round. You lose the round if your hand is lower in value than the dealer’s hand.

The tables below show the payouts you can expect for the various winning hands, as well as the possible multipliers available:

Multiplier possibilities:

In addition to standard blackjack gameplay, there are several additional features to enhance your game with a chance to boost your win potential.

Lightning Multipliers

There is an additional ‘lightning fee’ equal to the value of your main bet for this exciting game's ‘lightning’ aspect. Lightning Rules offers you the chance to receive a free random multiplier between 2x and 25x if you win the hand.

Multipliers are revealed after the betting round has closed and awarded if you beat the dealer’s hand. Your lightning multiplier is applied to any wins on the following hand. If you need to leave the game before playing your multiplier, you can save it for up to a maximum of 180 days.

Insurance

The insurance bet is offered when the dealer receives an ace as its up card. You are betting on whether the dealer’s hand will contain a ‘natural blackjack’, an ace and 10-value card. The price for your insurance is half the value of your initial bet.

If the dealer is indeed holding blackjack, you lose the game round but win the insurance bet, which is paid out at 2:1. If the dealer does not have blackjack, you forfeit your insurance wager and the regular game proceeds as normal.

Go Live

On all Evolution’s First Person games, a Go Live button in the corner of the screen allows you to head straight to the live dealer version of the game directly from within the title.
