Lightning Baccarat

Objective of the game

The objective of Lightning Baccarat is to predict the hand that will win with the value closest to 9.

Rules of the game

The game is presented by a dealer and is played with eight standard decks of 52 cards. The values are as follows:

  • The Ace is the lowest card and is worth 1 point.
  • Cards 2 through 9 are worth their face value.
  • 10s and face cards (Jacks, Queens, and Kings) are worth 0.

In baccarat only the numerical value of each card is relevant, the suit (hearts, spades, clubs or diamonds) is not important.

Before each deal, you must bet on the hand that is closest to 9 between the Player and the Banker.

If you think that both the Player and the Banker have cards of the same value, you also have the option of betting on a Tie.

Additionally, you can also bet on the Player/Banker pair (P/B Pair) which will pay out if the first two cards dealt to Player/Banker are a pair.

A 20% odds will be added to each of your placed bets. For example, if your bet is 5, then the 20% odds applied is 1 and your total bet will be 6. This total bet value will be visible on your screen.

Lightning Round

When your bets have been accepted, the Lightning round is activated. During the Lightning round, one to five Lightning Cards are drawn from a virtual deck of 52 cards. These Lightning Cards are given random Lightning Multipliers of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 8x. If your bet wins and contains the card(s) that are within the selected Lightning Cards, your payout will be multiplied by the random multiplier assigned to the corresponding card.

You'll have a chance to win even more if two or more Lightning Cards are dealt to the same bet spot. These multipliers will be multiplied and your payout will be multiplied by the total multiplier! Your initial bet will be added to your winnings. If the winning hand does not contain any revealed Lightning Cards, the normal payout applies. See the “Payouts” section for detailed payout information.

When the Lightning Round is over, the dealer deals two initial cards to the Players and the Banker.

If the player and the banker have a hand of the same value, the game ends in a tie. Whoever bet on Tie wins and bets on the player or the banker are returned. The stake on bets on the player or the banker is not returned.

The value of the hand is calculated by removing the tens digit if it adds up to 10 or more. For example, a hand with a 7 and a 9 will only be worth 6 in Baccarat (16 – 10 = 6). Similarly, a face card plus a 9 will be worth 9.

If the value of the cards in the Player's or Banker's starting two-card hand is 8 or 9 (a “natural” 8 or 9), no more cards will be dealt to either hand.

If the value of the cards in either the Player's or Banker's two-card hand is between 0 and 7, the “Third Card Rule” is consulted to determine whether a third card is dealt to one or both hands. The Player always acts first.

Player's Hand

0-1-2-3-4-5 The Player draws a third card.
6-7 The Player stands.
8-9 (a “natural”) No third card is dealt to any hand.

S — Takes out; P — Plants

If the Player stands on a 6 or 7, the Bank will hit for a card if their hand totals 3, 4 or 5 and must stand if it totals 6.

The player whose hand is closest to 9 will win the game.

Bookmarks

Streaks and trends in Baccarat for both the Player and Banker with a particular shoe are recorded on various scoreboards. These graphical representations of the results of previous games and other statistics regarding the current shoe can help you predict the results of future games.

The BIG ROAD shows the results of each previous game, while the Big Eye Road , Small Road, and Cockroach Road show patterns derived from the BIG ROAD.

Road and shoe statistics are cleared whenever a new shoe is introduced.

BIG ROAD

In BIG ROAD, the result of the first game is also recorded in the upper left corner.

A new column is created each time the Banker's streak changes in the Player's favor, or vice versa.

A cell outlined in red indicates a Banker win. A cell outlined in blue indicates a Player win.

A cell in the game result that has been affected by the Lightning multiplier is highlighted in gold.

A Tie is indicated by a green line through the cell of the previous game. If the result of the first game is a Tie, the green line will appear first, and once either the Player or the Banker wins a game, the red or blue outline will appear around it.

If there are two or more games with a Draw, the number on the line will show the number of ties.

DERIVED ROADS

For true Baccarat enthusiasts, there are the Big Eye Road, Small Road, and Cockroach Road, which display patterns derived from past results recorded on the BIG ROAD. The Big Eye Road uses outlined circles, the Small Road uses solid circles, and the Cockroach Road uses slashes. However, on the Derived Roads, the red and blue colors do not correspond to Banker or Player wins, and there is no way to distinguish ties or evens. On the Derived Roads, red entries indicate re-runs, while blue entries indicate a more erratic or “wiggle” shoe.

000

Derived Roads do not start at the very beginning of the game. They start with the hand that follows the first hand on the second, third and fourth columns of the BIG ROAD. Once a Derived Road is started, an additional red or blue symbol is added after each game.

SHOE STATISTICS

You can see the following stats based on the current shoe:

Total — the number of games played so far.

Player — the number of wins the Player has so far.

Bank — the number of Bank wins so far.

Draw — the number of games drawn so far.

Bank (pair) — the number of pairs the bank has so far.

Player (pair) — the number of pairs the Player has so far.
