So then, first things first.
Lightning Baccarat plays like a normal game of baccarat except with different potential payouts (up to a maximum of 512x on Player/Banker)
There's a fee/charge for playing of 20%.
(Regular) Tie bets only pays 5:1 - (Lightning Tie has a maximum payout of 1310720:1
In time for Chinese New Year
What's the bet we see some rat ornaments on the Lightning Baccarat table this weekend?
'coz good old fashioned real random beats simulated random any day
While we wait for any rat ornaments, back to the game flow in a bit more detail;
So whatever bet/s you place there's a 20% fee/charge.....this is in addition to your bet/s (rather than deducted from it).
As demonstrated here, a bet of £1 chip on Banker = a total bet of £1.20 including the fee (the total amount taken from your balance).
A bet of £2 equals £2.40 from your balance, a £10 bet = £12 from balance and so on.
Once bets are closed it's time for the Lightning round.
In a similar fashion to Quantum Blackjack, Lightning cards are drawn from a virtual 52-card pack.
Between 1 and 5 cards are drawn randomly and assigned random multipliers of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 8x
(unlike Quantum BJ the virtual Lightning cards are revealed via game interface, bottom left corner)

In the previous example you see how a 4x multiplier was drawn for Player.
Ultimately the Banker spot won with a card value of 8.....and so no multiplier was paid this time.
More interestingly, you'll notice a 20x appeared on the Tie spot (5:1 being the reduced regular payout here multiplied by 4 =20). So if the Banker's third card had instead resulted in a Tie , the payout would have been 20:1 for Tie .
The cumulative effect of combining ALL drawn multiplier cards together is where the mind blowing figure of 1310720:1 max (extremely unlikely) payout for Tie comes from.
eg. an extra card drawn to both Player & Banker = 6 cards on the table.
- If (by the luck of the Gods) they are all Lightning cards & all of multiplier value 8x
- the payout for a Lightning Tie would be 8x8x8x8x8x8 x (regular payout of 5:1) = 1310720
The virtual Lightning (/multiplier) cards only come into play if at least one matching (suit & value) real card is dealt to the winning spot and you've placed a bet on it.
A regular payout is multiplied by the total value of active Lightning multiplier(/s) - more than one Lightning card dealt to the same spot has the added reward of them being multiplied together.
The quoted max payout of 512:1 for Player (Banker) comes from when 3 cards are dealt to Player(Banker) & all 3 cards are Lightning cards, each with a multiplier value of 8x ........ 8x8x8 =512
