What is Live Casino?

A live casino is basically an interactive online site provided by a number of different gaming providers that replicates the environment of a live brick and mortar casino. In it, players can test their luck—or skill—not against a computer program with a random number generator but against a live dealer. In effect, roulette-playing-wise, your dealer adversary is the same kind that you would receive at a respectable casino but just "on the opposite side" of your monitor. The majority of web-based casinos, such as live casinos that accept Visa, provide this stimulating experience, where it is possible for players to deposit and take out cash straightaway via a secured payment mechanism.

You can now get the excitement of a live casino from the comforts of your home—whether on your favorite couch, in your favorite t-shirt and sweatpants (no need to dress up here!), and playing your favorite casino-type gambling games like video poker or trying your luck at roulette tables.

How to Play in a Live Casino

The unique aspect of live casinos is that you wager live and play with real money only. There is no demo mode in all other online casino games except live casino rooms. Therefore, it is not possible for you to try out your strategy without putting real money at stake. Be it baccarat, roulette, blackjack, or poker, free-to-play is not an option in live casino rooms.

In a live game, the players are transported remotely to a live casino and observe what the dealer is doing through a webcam on a laptop, phone, or tablet. This variant has gained popularity among visitors of legal Danish online casinos, where you can play in your own currency (krone), get your winnings paid directly into your bank account, and enjoy an impeccable language performance.

Types of Live Casino Games

The live casino game portfolio is extensive, with nearly all the licensed Danish online casinos carrying anything from lottery draws, table games, TV, craps, and traditional card games. Roulette and card games form the staple of the live casino product due to the nature of the process being so open—the players are able to watch each move of the dealer in real time, with no RNG. The graphics are extremely realistic, giving an increased feel of adrenaline rush.

Top Live Casino Providers

Gaming is constantly launching new games, and some of the larger providers have established themselves as industry leaders in the live casino space. Live casino content is less diverse in nature than slots but with a focus on lotteries and classic card games. What is different here are the dealers' appearances and personalities (i.e., good-looking dealers would be preferred in general over ugly dealers), and the decorations and atmosphere of the studio.

One of the top live casino software providers is Evolution Gaming, a multi-award-winning operator. It offers a great selection of games to play, from blackjack to roulette, baccarat, and three-card poker. Another veteran operator, PlayTech and NetEnt, are also battling it out with quality products, introducing a variety of languages to cater to various types of players around the globe (e.g., Danish-language tables for Danish-speaking players).

NetEnt puts further focus on high-definition video streams (minimum HD) and sound design, with special regard for mobile players betting through smartphones or tablets. A minor drawback perhaps is over-Englishness of their products, i.e., high-roller tables.

PlayTech provides excellent software for live casinos too, and Ezugi is yet another very important provider, with some three dozen live dealer games for players of all kinds.
