Live Casino games are games that are hosted by a real presenter in real time. The games are streamed straight to the player using state of the art technology. Therefore, players can follow each card dealt and every spin of the roulette wheel. With various camera angles available to the player to select from, it enhances the overall gaming experience. Players can also interact with the live dealer through chat. The interactivity adds a special touch to these games. Compared to other casino games such as slots you are not playing against a machine but interacting with a real person. While you can see the dealer, the dealer cannot see you.

Live Casino games offer players the experience of a real casino if they cannot or do not want to visit a land-based casino. The action and excitement of each game is real – and you can experience it wherever you are and whenever you want. Most are usually available 24/7/365 with new rounds starting every couple of minutes.

  • Play all day, every day of the year (24/7/365)
  • Players can interact with the dealer via chat
