Lightning Baccarat Payouts
Complete payout structure including the 20% fee and Lightning multiplier stacking.
Important: 20% Lightning Fee
A 20% fee is deducted from ALL bets before each round. If you bet $100, only $80 is at stake. This fee funds the Lightning multiplier feature but significantly increases the effective house edge compared to standard baccarat.
Base Payouts (After 20% Fee)
| Bet | Base Payout | After Fee | Probability | Effective RTP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Player Win | 1:1 | 0.80:1 | 44.62% | 78.96% |
| Banker Win | 0.95:1 | 0.76:1 | 45.86% | 79.15% |
| Tie | 8:1 | 6.40:1 | 9.52% | 68.51% |
| Player Pair | 11:1 | 8.80:1 | 7.47% | - |
| Banker Pair | 11:1 | 8.80:1 | 7.47% | - |
Lightning Card Multipliers
0-5 cards receive Lightning multipliers each round. Multipliers stack when multiple Lightning cards appear in your winning hand.
Multiplier Stacking
| Combination | Result | Example (Player $10) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Lightning Card (8x) | 8x payout | $10 Player win = $80 |
| 2 Lightning Cards (8x × 8x) | 64x payout | $10 Player win = $640 |
| 3 Lightning Cards (8x × 8x × 8x) | 512x payout | $10 Player win = $5,120 |
| 4 Lightning Cards (max natural) | 4,096x payout | $10 Player win = $40,960 |
| 6 Lightning Cards (theoretical max) | 262,144x | Essentially impossible |
Note: These payouts are on the 80% remaining after the fee. A "64x" win on a $10 bet would return $640 + your $8 stake.
