Get ready for a new game in town! THNDR, the innovative force behind Bitcoin play-to-earn (P2E) and thrilling skill-based peer-to-peer (PvP) gaming, just dropped some exciting news: Blackjack is here!

spécialement crafted for iGaming operators and aggregators, this fresh Blackjack experience is now live and kicking on THNDR’s B2B PvP platform.

THNDR’s goal with Blackjack? To fire up player excitement and keep them coming back for more, all while leveraging the speed and efficiency of instant payments through the Lightning Network.

The tech powering this game is all about smoothing out those frustrating bumps in the road for operators, tackling issues like slow payouts and those pesky player liquidity gaps we see with traditional systems.

How THNDR’s Technology Works

Imagine a network where players are instantly connected, no matter which partner site they’re on. That’s THNDR’s cross-operator liquidity network in action! It’s a game-changer that ensures seamless play across platforms like BetOpenly, Speed Wallet, Maincard, and Telobet (just to name a few!). This clever system basically eliminates those annoying wait times in gaming.

Let’s break it down: Say someone on BetOpenly bets $100. THNDR’s system jumps in, searching for a matching $100 bet from someone on a different connected platform, like Speed Wallet. If it doesn’t find a match immediately on BetOpenly, it looks across the network! The result? Bets are matched practically instantly – like, 99.9% of the time instantly.

For their partners, THNDR unlocks super-fast payouts via Lightning on their backend. This lets partners offer instant payouts in any local currency, taking advantage of a settlement process that’s both lightning-fast and free from delays or chargeback headaches.

“We’re super excited to introduce a skill-based Blackjack to our PvP platform,” shared Desiree Dickerson, THNDR CEO and co-founder, in a press release with Bitcoin Magazine.

“This isn’t just another game in the lineup; it’s a powerful tool to reignite player interest and boost revenue for operators. By combining the thrill of skill-based competition with our cutting-edge tech, we’re offering a solution that keeps players hooked for longer, dramatically improves retention rates, and taps into a broader audience of new players,” she added.

Rewarding Strategic Players

Here’s the cool part: THNDR’s Blackjack is all about strategy and smarts. Players aren’t just playing against the house – they’re going head-to-head against each other, leveling the playing field by taking away the house edge.

“In this unique Blackjack version, your performance, measured by chips won after 10 rounds, is directly compared to another player who faced the exact same cards during their round,” Dickerson explained to Bitcoin Magazine.

“Unlike traditional Blackjack where luck plays a big part, this game puts skill in the spotlight. Why? Because both players are dealt identical hands and follow the same dealer rules,” she clarified.

“In this setup, players compete asynchronously. Each player goes through 10 rounds with the same sequence of cards and a set time limit. The winner is decided by who ends up with the most chips.”

THNDR is betting that this approach will draw in players who love a good competition and strategic challenge, rather than those just seeking a game of chance.
