Live Casino is a type of online casino that uses a real-time video stream to bring you an authentic gaming experience. This technology bridges the gap between brick-and-mortar casinos and standard online casinos by allowing players to interact with real dealers while playing their favourite games from the comfort of their homes.

Unlike regular online casino games, which use random number generators to determine outcomes, live dealer casino games are played in specially designed studios or on real-world casino floors and are then streamed directly to your computer, tablet or smartphone in high definition. The gamer can then place bets using interactive on-screen interfaces and communicate with the dealer through a chat function.

These casinos offer a wide variety of table and card games and many feature unique, interactive elements and multipliers to boost your winning potential. However, remember that they are primarily games of chance and should be played for fun rather than as a way to make money. Nevertheless, employing basic strategy in popular games like blackjack or roulette can help improve your chances of success.

Usually, live casino software is based on well-known casino games accessible in every land-based establishment. Depending on the provider, these may include classic casino table games (the so-called golden trio of blackjack, roulette and baccarat), poker and wheel of fortune. The croupiers operate out of special studios built specifically for this type of gaming and use powerful cameras to capture the gameplay. Engineers working in separate rooms control the game flow and monitor the games to prevent frauds and violations of rules.
