Product review: Lightning Blackjack

January 17, 2022

Lightning Blackjack from Evolution, which was available from day one in both Live and First Person versions, is a unique, exciting, scalable version of Blackjack that features enhanced, multiplied payouts.

The multipliers are awarded to a winning hand according to the winning player’s score. The awarded multiplier results in multiplied winnings of between 2x and 25x if the player has a winning hand in the next round. First Person Lightning Blackjack is a 3D animated version of the game.  Players enjoy the same exciting gameplay and chance of multiplied payouts, but in an RNG-based game that includes a ‘GO LIVE’ button that can take them directly to the live dealer Lightning Blackjack table.

Only available from Evolution, this is a Blackjack variant that offers players a genuinely unique gaming experience with Lightning Card multipliers and enhanced payouts. Like Lightning Roulette and Lightning Baccarat, the game is set in a black and gold Art Deco game show environment and adds high-payout RNG wins. Evolution has paid close attention to visuals and audio here, with eye-catching design in both departments.

Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, noted: “It’s high time that we brought our Lightning brand to the player favorite Blackjack. We’ve been very careful to preserve the true essence of Blackjack, while adding extra layrs of excitement with added Lightning multipliers. The end result is a beautiful game that gives players the opportunity to have enhanced payouts while still playing the game the way it was originally intended.”
