Live Lightning Blackjack
After the successful launch of Lightning Roulette, Lightning Baccarat, and Lightning Dice it might not come as a surprise that live casino giant Evolution Gaming is coming with a brand new game called Lightning Blackjack.
According to the 2021 roadmap, presented by Evolution Gaming’s Chief Product Officer Todd Haushalter, Lightning Blackjack will go live this year on top of quite some other exciting new titles.
How does Lightning Blackjack work?
Many Kiwis have asked Evolution Gaming throughout the years to come with a new Live Blackjack game. At first they have done a lot of thinking about how to set up this new game. They tried a lot of things and they discarded quite some ideas since they didn’t worked out after all.
Todd Haushalter talked about a themed ‘’Frankenstein’’ Blackjack game or a Blackjack game with multipliers on certain card value which both ended up in the bin. It was simply becoming too complicated and the whole game would end up going only about catching the big lightning cards. In this way the essence of a great game of Blackjack would be gone.
After a long time of more thinking, testing and tweaking the company is now convinced they finally have got the game right. So how does it work?
Well, according to the team behind the game the Lightning Blackjack game still embodies the feel of the classic game of Blackjack, but then with added multipliers. Every time you win a hand of Blackjack, the next hand is going to pay on a multiplier basis. The better of a hand you get next hand, the bigger the multiplier will be. Winning with a 21 or a Blackjack will result in the highest possible multipliers.

What other games can we expect from Evolution Gaming during 2021?
The all new Lightning Blackjack is not the only new title which was presented in Evolution’s 2021 roadmap. According to the Chief Product Officer of Evolution Gaming we can expect the following games;
- Red Envelopes Baccarat; A brand new live Baccarat game which is unique since it adds additional multiplier wins to the game. During any round random red envelopes can appear which give wins up to 88x your bet.
- Bac Bo; This new Evolution title is something new in the iGaming market. This game is very much in line with the spirit of Baccarat, but it is played with dice. You can bet on the banker side or the player side. Each side will throw two dice and the highest throw we will. It doesn’t get simpler than this in my opinion!
- Fan Tan; This game origins from China and is all about betting on white pebbles. Players need to bet on the amount of pebble sin the last row. The game is basically very simple and the best way to get it is by watching a round in your favourite live casino.
- Golden Wealth Baccarat; This new Baccarat game allows players to bet small, and win big. The main goal of this game is to catch a string of multiplier cards. Once you manage to get the right sequence, the rewards can be amazing.
- Cash or Crash; This title is expected to become one of Evolutions big games in the upcoming years. During this game you will need to escape a flying vehicle before it crashes. This seems very farfetched, but the game is expected to be very fun.
