Live dealer casino: how live baccarat, roulette and sic bo work
Live casino is a table with a real dealer, streamed from a studio. You bet on screen while a countdown runs, then the dealer deals the cards, spins the roulette wheel or shakes real dice, and the result is recorded automatically.
How a live round works
- Choose a table and check its minimum and maximum bet.
- Bet while the countdown runs. Once it ends, no more bets.
- The dealer plays the round on camera.
- The result is read and wins are added to your balance.

Live versus machine (RNG) tables
Machine tables use a random number generator and run as fast as you click. Live tables are slower, have a fixed betting window, and many players share the same round. The rules and the house edge of the game do not change between the two.
Roulette in a few lines
European roulette has 37 pockets (0 to 36). A single number pays 35 to 1; red or black and even or odd pay 1 to 1. The 0 is where the house edge comes from: when the ball lands on 0, the red/black and even/odd bets usually lose (some tables return half the stake).
Practical tips
- Check the table minimum before you sit down.
- A shaky connection can make you miss the betting window.
- Set a limit for the whole session, not just per round.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an app to play live casino?
Usually not: most live tables run in the browser on a phone or computer. Avoid installing APKs from unknown links.
What happens if my connection drops mid-round?
Usually the round goes on and is settled on the bets you already placed. The exact rule is in each table's help screen.
How many pockets does a roulette wheel have?
European roulette has 37 pockets, 0 to 36. The American wheel adds a 00 pocket for 38, which raises the house edge.
