Evolution Gaming Announces a New Award Win and Launches Lightning Baccarat in a Single Day

The 30^th of January was a lucky day for Evolution Gaming, as this was the day the developer launched its new Lightning Baccarat game and announced its new EGR Nordics Award.

To celebrate the two successes, the developer issued two separate statements detailing its achievement at the prestigious awards ceremony and the launch of the new Live Casino game.

Evolution Launches Lightning Baccarat

Lightning Baccarat is the newest game to be added to the award-winning Lightning games portfolio that consists of Lightning Roulette and Lightning Dice as of the 30^th of January. Evolution announced the new game will be presented in the upcoming ICE London 2020 and will be a new, exciting take on classic baccarat. It will be available across desktop, smartphone and tablet devices. 

The gameplay will be essentially the same, with the addition of a Lightning Round. As soon as the round begins, a bolt of lightning will strike between one and five random Lightning Cards. Each of the cards receives a random Multiplier. A player, then, must match one of its winning cards to a Lightning Card in order to win those Multiplier payouts. The more Lightning Cards players match, the bigger the Multiplier increases. On Banker and Player bets it can increase up to 512x, but on the Tie bet, it can go up to 262,144x!

Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer said that after the successful, multi-award-winning Lightning Roulette and the immensely popular Lightning Dice, creating a Lightning Baccarat variant was a natural move for the Lightning portfolio. He added, since baccarat players love volatility, Evolution was about to give them all they could handle with Lightning Baccarat.

Lightning Roulette was first introduced in 2018, and it had scooped three Game of the Year Awards. The developer launched the Lightening Dice in 2019, which became an instant hit, considering players’ appreciation of dice games. Now, at the very beginning of 2020, Evolution launches Lightning Baccarat. Whether Lightning Blackjack is next on the list for next year, it remains to be seen. For now, the entire Lightning portfolio is set in a black and gold Art Deco environment, and offer random Multipliers with lightning flashes in the UI.
