How it works
Games are streamed from dedicated studios or land-based casinos. The dealer deals the cards or spins the wheel, and cameras and recognition systems turn the result into a digital interface. You bet on screen, but the outcome is decided by a physical card or ball, not a random number generator.
House edge in popular games
| Game | Bet | House edge |
|---|---|---|
| Blackjack | Basic strategy, standard rules | about 0.5% |
| Baccarat | Banker | â1.06% |
| Baccarat | Player | â1.24% |
| Baccarat | Tie (8:1) | â14.4% |
| Roulette | European (single zero) | â2.7% |
| Roulette | American (zero and double zero) | â5.26% |
The takeaway is simple: choose European roulette, and skip the tie bet in baccarat. Blackjack only pays off for players who know basic strategy; without it the house edge is much higher.
The main games
- Blackjack â beat the dealer's total without going over 21. Your decisions affect the result.
- Roulette â bet on a number, colour, odd/even or groups of numbers. The European version beats the American one.
- Baccarat â bet on the Banker's hand, the Player's hand or a tie; no decisions during play.
- Poker games against the dealer â such as Casino Hold'em and Three Card Poker.
- Game shows â money wheels and TV-style formats with a host and multipliers. Lots of fun, but the house edge is usually higher than in the classics.
How to choose a table
- Check the minimum and maximum bet; they should fit your budget.
- Read the table's rules: in blackjack, the number of decks and the blackjack payout matter (3:2 beats 6:5).
- Bonuses often count only partly toward wagering in live games, or not at all.
- Set a time limit: it's easy to lose track of rounds in live games.
