Lightning Series
Evolution's Lightning games add random multipliers to classic games:
Lightning Roulette
Each round, 1-5 numbers receive 50x-500x multipliers. Straight-up bets pay 30x base (instead of 35x) to accommodate multiplier potential. Play Lightning Roulette for the ultimate multiplier roulette experience.
Lightning Baccarat
Random cards receive multipliers that apply when they contribute to winning hands. Adds volatility and excitement to traditional baccarat.
Lightning Blackjack
Winning hands can receive random multipliers (2x-25x). Higher multipliers on blackjack hands.
Lightning Strategy
Lightning games increase house edge slightly vs standard versions. Play for entertainment value, not mathematical optimization. The multiplier excitement justifies higher cost for many players.
