Live Dealer Casino — plain English
A live dealer game is a real casino table filmed in a studio and streamed to you in HD. A human dealer spins the wheel or deals the cards; you place bets through an on-screen interface. There is no RNG for the outcome itself — the physical wheel or shoe decides it, which is why many players prefer live tables.

Who runs the studios
The dominant live-casino supplier is Evolution Gaming, with Pragmatic Play Live and Playtech also widely used. Studios operate under their own gambling licences, and the games a casino can stream are governed by the casino's MGA or UKGC licence.

Frequently asked questions
Are live dealer games fair?
Yes, at licensed casinos. Outcomes are decided by a physical wheel, cards or dice on camera, and studios operate under their own gambling licences with regulatory oversight.
Which live game has the best odds?
Live blackjack with correct basic strategy has one of the lowest house edges in the casino, followed by European roulette at about 2.7%. Game-show tables carry a higher edge.
Do I need a fast connection for live casino?
A stable broadband connection is recommended because games are streamed in HD. Most live studios adapt the video quality to your connection.
