HOW TO PLAY XXXTREME LIGHTNING BACCARAT

XXXtreme Lightning Baccarat combines our world-class Live Baccarat with a chance for players to win big, multiplied payouts on their winning hand, just like in Lightning Baccarat. The main difference is that you have the chance to receive more Lightning Cards, and higher multipliers.

The game is played with eight standard 52-card decks, and only the numeric values of each card are relevant.

The card values are as follows:

• Aces count as 1
• Cards from 2 to 9 are worth their numerical values
• 10s and face cards (King, Queen, Jack) are each worth zero.

THE BETTING PHASE

To participate in the game, place a chip on the hand you think will win by being nearest to nine – either the Player’s hand or the Banker’s hand. You also have the chance to bet on a Tie, meaning both the Banker’s and Player’s hands will have the same total value at the end of the game round. Two additional betting options – Player Pair and Banker Pair – let you wager on the Player’s or the Banker’s first two cards forming a Pair. No further side bets are available.

A 50% fee is added to each player’s total bet, and this is displayed in the user interface.

LIGHTNING ROUND

After the betting time is closed, the Lightning Round starts.

In each Lightning Round, four to eight random Lightning Cards are generated from a virtual 52-card deck, along with random multipliers for each Lightning Card. The possible multipliers are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x and 10x. The Lightning Cards and their multipliers are displayed in the user interface.

THE DEAL

After the Lightning Round, the Player and Banker are dealt two or three cards depending on the value of their hands according to standard Baccarat rules.

During dealing, Lightning Cards are highlighted in the user interface if a matching card has been dealt to make the player aware that there is a chance for multiplied winnings.

GAME OUTCOME

If the player has placed a bet on a winning hand, the payout is according to the payout table. If the player’s winning hand includes one matching Lightning Card, the winnings will be multiplied accordingly (i.e. 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x or 10x ). If there’s more than one matching Lightning Card in a winning hand, the winnings are multiplied again. For example, with three matching Lightning Cards, the total winnings could be multiplied by as much as 10x10x10 (1,000x). A winning bet on a Tie with six matching Lightning Cards can result in a multiplier of 2,850,000x.

All winnings are capped at $786,700 plus the initial bet. To receive a multiplied payout, the player must have the matching Lightning Card/s in their winning hand.

LIVE BETTING STATISTICS

SCORECARDS (ROADS)

Baccarat streaks and trends for either the Player or the Banker are recorded in various scorecards, or
‘roads’. These pictorial representations of past round results and other statistics related to the current shoe may help players to predict the results of future rounds. Players can choose light or dark backgrounds for the scorecards in Settings. The Bead Road and Big Road display the results of each past round, while the Big Eye Road, Small Road and Cockroach Road display patterns derived from the Big Road.

SHOE STATISTICS

Statistics for the current shoe are displayed above the Big Road and include: number of completed rounds; number of Player wins; number of Banker wins; number of Tie rounds; number of Player pair wins; number of Banker pair wins. Roads and shoe statistics are always cleared when a new shoe is introduced.
