Live dealer casino: how playing with a real dealer works
In short
In a live dealer casino, a real dealer deals cards or spins the roulette wheel on a live stream, and you join the table from your computer or phone. The result is decided at the table itself, not by software, and you place your bets in real time.
How it works
Cameras film a table in a professional studio. You see the cards and the wheel, place your bet on screen and wait for the result. Each round has a fixed betting window, and when it closes the dealer carries on.
The usual games
At live dealer tables you will usually find:
- European roulette.
- Blackjack.
- Baccarat.
- Game shows with a wheel or dice.
How it differs from a regular online casino
Against software the game is quick and you play alone. At a live table the pace is set by the dealer, and the atmosphere feels closer to a real casino. Most live casinos also have tables with higher stakes.
Tips
Start with small bets to get used to the pace. Do not rush to place a bet in the last seconds. And decide in advance when you will stop.
