Live dealer games

Plain-language definition for casino players.

Live dealer games stream a real human croupier (dealer) running blackjack, roulette, baccarat, or game-show formats from a studio, with interactive betting overlaid in the browser. The dominant studios are Evolution Gaming (premium quality, widest coverage), Pragmatic Play Live (newer entrant, growing fast), and Ezugi (Evolution-owned).

Game-show titles like Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette, and Monopoly Live merge live dealer mechanics with bonus rounds and multipliers — they're the high-margin category for both operators and players willing to chase variance. RTP on live games is typically 96-99% for table classics, 94-96% for game shows. Most live tables have minimum bets of $0.50-$1 and VIP tables go up to $5,000 per hand.
