For many years, the biggest complaint about online casinos was that they lacked the authentic, social atmosphere of a physical building.

Instead of relying on computer algorithms, these games use physical cards, real roulette wheels, and professional human croupiers.

Behind the Scenes of a Live Casino Studio

These games are broadcast from massive, highly secure television studios designed explicitly to look like high-end VIP casino floors.

As the dealer pulls a physical card from the shoe, it is dragged across a highly sensitive barcode scanner embedded in the table.

• Running these studios is incredibly expensive, which is why you rarely find ‘micro-stakes’ or free demo versions of live dealer games
• The video feeds require a strong, stable internet connection; if you disconnect, the game will play your hand automatically according to basic strategy
• The cards used have a slightly larger printed index (font) to ensure they are easily readable by the cameras and the players at home

Beyond Blackjack: Live Casino Game Shows

These game shows combine the thrill of gambling with the high-energy production value of popular TV shows like ‘The Price is Right.’

These titles focus heavily on maximum entertainment value, featuring loud music, vibrant colors, and massive chat room interaction.

It is the closest you can get to Macau or Vegas without ever having to put on a pair of shoes.
