What is live casino?
Unlike RNG table games, live casino uses physical cards, shoes, wheels and dice handled by human dealers. Multiple cameras and OCR technology capture every card dealt, and results appear on your screen instantly. You place bets within a countdown (usually 10–20 seconds) and the dealer continues as soon as betting closes.

Baccarat: Asia's favourite table game
Two hands are dealt — Player and Banker. The hand closest to 9 wins. Cards 2–9 count at face value, 10s and picture cards count as 0, and an Ace counts as 1. If a total exceeds 9, only the last digit counts (7 + 8 = 15, so the hand is worth 5). The third-card rules are applied automatically by the dealer, so all you do is choose a bet.
| Bet | Payout | House edge |
|---|---|---|
| Banker | 0.95:1 (5% commission) | 1.06% |
| Player | 1:1 | 1.24% |
| Tie | 8:1 | 14.36% |
| Player Pair / Banker Pair | 11:1 | 10.36% |
Mathematically, Banker is the best bet for the player even after the 5% commission. The Tie bet looks tempting but carries a house edge above 14%.
Baccarat variants
- Speed Baccarat — rounds of roughly 27 seconds with cards revealed instantly.
- No Commission Baccarat — no commission on Banker, but a Banker win with a total of 6 pays only 1:2.
- Squeeze Baccarat — the dealer slowly "squeezes" cards to build suspense.
- Bid Baccarat (Allbet) — the player with the highest bet earns the right to reveal the cards.
Dragon Tiger
The simplest cousin of baccarat: one card for Dragon, one for Tiger, and the higher card wins (Ace low, King high). Dragon and Tiger pay 1:1. On a tie, Dragon/Tiger bets usually lose half, while the Tie bet pays 8:1 and Suited Tie up to 50:1. The house edge on Dragon or Tiger is around 3.7%.
Sic Bo
A traditional Chinese dice game played with three dice.
| Bet | Wins when | Typical payout |
|---|---|---|
| Big | Total 11–17 (excluding triples) | 1:1 |
| Small | Total 4–10 (excluding triples) | 1:1 |
| Any triple | All three dice match | 24:1 to 30:1 |
| Specific triple | e.g. three 6s | 150:1 to 180:1 |
| Total of 4 or 17 | Exact total | 50:1 to 60:1 |
Big and Small carry the lowest house edge (2.78%). Triples and exact totals pay big but with a much higher edge. Paytables differ between providers — check the table display before betting.
Live roulette
European roulette has a single zero and a 2.70% house edge; American roulette adds a 00 pocket and the edge rises to 5.26%. Choose European whenever you can. Full payout tables are on the roulette page.
Live blackjack
Your goal is to beat the dealer without going over 21. A natural blackjack pays 3:2 and insurance pays 2:1. With correct basic strategy, the house edge in blackjack can be as low as about 0.5% — among the lowest in the casino — but only if you make every hit, stand, double and split decision correctly.
Choosing the right live table
| Factor | What to check |
|---|---|
| Bet limits | The table minimum should suit your budget — ideally 1–2% of your session bankroll |
| Round speed | Speed tables burn through a budget faster |
| Payout rules | Tie 8:1 vs 9:1, Sic Bo paytables, No Commission rules |
| Stream quality | Pick tables that run smoothly on your connection; Wi-Fi beats mobile data |
| Dealer language | Most Asian tables offer English, Chinese or Thai-speaking dealers |
Live table etiquette
- Keep the chat polite; dealers and other players can read it.
- Don't blame the dealer for results — every card and dice roll is random.
- Bet early; bets not confirmed before the timer ends are not accepted.
- If your connection drops mid-round, the result is still recorded. Check your bet history after logging back in.
