Choosing a Live Casino

A live casino is a great way to have the best of both worlds – an authentic brick and mortar casino experience without ever leaving home. Players connect via their online casino site to a physical studio which is outfitted to look like a brick and mortar casino floor. Inside the studio is a table (roulette, blackjack or another game), a dealer/croupier and cameras. Usually there are multiple cameras which can be controlled by the player so they can follow different angles of play. Often there is a camera that shows close-ups of the roulette wheel or when the dealer/croupier shuffles the cards.

Most online casinos will offer several games to choose from in the live casino section. Popular choices include blackjack, roulette and baccarat. However, some sites will also offer more unusual games such as Infinite Blackjack where every player is dealt two starting cards and then plays their own hand against the dealer. Some online casinos will have special tables with higher betting limits for high rollers while others will host special sports-themed tables where the dealers comment on current events as they play out the game.

When choosing a live casino make sure that the casino is licensed and regulated by a recognized gaming authority. This will protect players from rigged games and ensure that winnings are paid out. In addition, look for a variety of games and a website that runs well on your setup. It is also a good idea to check that seat availability is plentiful during the hours you like to play so that you can jump in quickly.
