What is Live Dealer?

A live dealer is the real croupier who runs a live casino table while it is streamed to players in real time by video. Instead of a random number generator producing the result on your device, the outcome comes from physical equipment on a studio or land-based table — cards from a real shoe, a real roulette wheel, real dice — with your bets placed through an on-screen interface. Live dealer games, often shortened to live games, therefore combine physical randomness with digital betting and settlement. Rounds run on a fixed timer shared by everyone at the table, so the pace is set by the dealer rather than by you, and the underlying house edge for each bet remains the same as in the equivalent digital version.
