Evolution has launched its popular Lightning Blackjack in New Jersey

US Players get Lightning Blackjack

Evolution has added Lightning Blackjack to the games it offers live casino players in New Jersey.

Blackjack is a favourite table game in the US, but players are unlikely to have seen anything like Lightning Blackjack before.

Lightning Blackjack is the first multiplier game to be released in the American market, so it will be interesting to see how it will be received.

Lightning Blackjack is played like regular blackjack, but you win a multiplier if your hand wins.

The multiplier, which can range from 2x to 25x, can be used on a future hand, up to 180 days away. If you win using the multiplier, the payout is increased by the multiplier amount.

A mandatory fee of 100% of your initial bet is taken on each hand to pay for the multipliers.

The RTP is 99.56, but that is based on the first hand and doesn’t consider the multipliers.

You shouldn’t use Blackjack Basic Strategy when playing Lightning Blackjack. Evolution has produced a modified strategy available through the games help panel.
