Multiplied Payouts: Live games with random multipliers
Take a traditional casino game (eg baccarat or roulette).
Add sexy multipliers that operate to randomly supersize winning payouts.
Give those multipliers a flashy name like Quantum, or Lightning.
Make the table (and the dealers sitting at it) look damn nice.
Finally, add a little pizzazz when your lightning or quantum multipliers are selected, and even more pizzazz when they come into play with win calculations.
What do you have?
You have one of the most popular category of live game out there – a live multiplier game.
Evolution started the craze with Lightning Roulette. That game exceeded expectations in terms of popularity with players. Once the multiplier concept was proven, it was rolled out across other games by Evolution, and by other providers.
All currently available Multiplier Games
Multipliers are now applied across a broad range of live games including Roulette, Baccarat, Blackjack, Sic Bo, Andar Bahar, Top Card, and Dragon Tiger. Below are all currently available multiplier games.
They’re popular to play. And I can see why.
Your interest in the outcomes is certainly heightened when multipliers come into play during these games. If your Lightning or Quantum Roulette bet payout has been multiplied you watch that ball very closely.
Playing Quantum Blackjack you feel yourself leaning toward splits you wouldn’t normally to possibly land a 10x multiplier that has yet to be dealt.
These games are engaging.
And the best thing about them (unlike most other game shows) is that despite the added flash and pizzazz, theoretical returns are not far off the traditional table game they are based on.
This is demonstrated by the below table.
Game | RTP (optimal bet/play) |
---|---|
Playtech Blackjack | 99.5% |
Evolution Gaming Blackjack | 99.28% |
Baccarat (Evolution & Playtech) | 98.95% |
European Roulette (Evo & Playtech) | 97.3% |
Playtech Sicbo | 97.3% |
Quantum Blackjack | 99.47% |
Lightning Baccarat | 98.76% |
Quantum Roulette | 97.3% |
Lightning Roulette | 97.3% |
Super Sicbo | 97.22% |
Sicbo Deluxe | 97.2% |
Combine added entertainment and still good value for the player, and you’re on a winner as far as I’m concerned.
Of course good value doesn’t translate to a player edge. And you may find your sessions on these tables a little longer than the regular tables so take care!
