LIVE-CASINO

What are live-casino games?

Live games are so popular because they broadcast a casino game in real time using state-of-the-art technology. In the live-casino, you’re faced with real dealers who deal cards in real time in live blackjack or live baccarat, or spin the wheel for live roulette.

The live-casino games category includes countless different casino games. Examples include live roulette, live baccarat, live blackjack and live poker variants. Basically, however, every casino game that can be broadcast live and thus played with other people around the world counts as a live-casino game.

Some live games also have a chat function that allows you to interact with other players and the live dealer.

How are live-casino games different from other table games in the online-casino?

The main difference between live-casino games and other online casino games is that the live-casino games are run in a studio by a real dealer. The game will then be broadcast live and players from all over the world can play in the same game.

The other table games such as blackjack or roulette fall into the category of random number generator (RNG) games. This means that behind the games is an algorithm that ensures that the game is based purely on luck. However, the game is not run by a dealer: you play against the computer. In RNG games you also play alone and there are no other players with you at the table.

This results in some differences between live-casino and RNG games that you might not think about at first. Since you’re not sitting at a real table in the RNG games and there are no other players involved in the game, there is no time limit for your bets and actions in most RNG games. This means you can take as much time as you like when making your decisions. This gives you the opportunity to apply and practice new strategies.

Since the live-casino games are broadcast in real time and many players are playing the same game, it’s not possible to play without a time limit. For this reason, games such as live blackjack, live roulette and live baccarat have a countdown that shows how much time you have left to place your bets. Once the countdown has expired, it’s no longer possible to place a bet and the live dealer continues with the game. This can be difficult for beginners at first, because they would like to think about their next steps a little longer. It’s therefore advisable to practice a new game in the RNG version instead of live.
