THNDR Introduces Skill-Based Blackjack Game with Bitcoin Lightning Network-Powered Payouts
Today, THNDR, a front-runner in the play-to-earn (P2E) Bitcoin gaming sector as well as skill-centric peer-to-peer (PvP) gaming frameworks, has unveiled its new titleโBlackjack.
This game is crafted for iGaming operators and aggregators, and it is now accessible through THNDRโs B2B PvP platform.
With the launch of this game, THNDR aims to enhance player connection and retention while utilizing advanced instant payment settlements through the Lightning Network.
The innovative technology powering the game addresses persistent challenges for operators, including issues with player liquidity and delays in payouts often associated with traditional payment systems.
Understanding THNDR’s Technology
THNDRโs cross-operator liquidity network guarantees immediate matches for players across participating businesses, which currently includes partners such as BetOpenly, Speed Wallet, Maincard, and Telobet. This network effectively minimizes disruptions in the gaming process.
For instance, if a player bets $100 on BetOpenly, THNDR will pair that wager with a $100 bet from a user on another partner platform such as Speed Wallet, ensuring that matches occur almost instantlyโ99.9% of the time.
THNDR facilitates real-time payouts through the Lightning Network for its partners, allowing them to offer payouts in any fiat currency while enjoying a rapid settlement process without delays or chargebacks.
โWeโre excited to introduce a skill-based version of Blackjack to our PvP platform,โ stated Desiree Dickerson, the CEO and co-founder of THNDR, in a press release distributed to Bitcoin Magazine.
โThis isn’t merely another game; it serves as a robust re-engagement and monetization tool for operators. By merging skill-based competition with our innovative technology, we provide a solution that enhances player engagement, increases retention, and allows access to a wider demographic of users,โ she added.
Incentivizing Strategic Play
THNDRโs rendition of Blackjack not only emphasizes strategy and decision-making but also allows players to compete against each other rather than the house, effectively eliminating the house advantage.
โIn this iteration of the game, your outcome after ten rounds, based on the number of chips accumulated, is compared with another real player who received the identical card sequence during their round,โ Dickerson explained to Bitcoin Magazine.
โUnlike conventional Blackjack, where luck is a significant factor, this game is skill-basedโas both players contend under identical circumstances (i.e. same cards dealt, same dealer rules),โ she added.
โPlayers in this version compete asynchronouslyโeach engages in ten rounds utilizing the same card sequence with a time limit. The ultimate chip count determines the victor.โ
THNDR anticipates that this structure will appeal to more competitive players as opposed to those merely seeking luck-driven gambling and entertainment.

iGaming operators and aggregators can reap multiple benefits by incorporating THNDRโs Blackjack into their offerings, such as:
