A live casino streams a real dealer, real cards and a real wheel to your screen. The games come from a few studios, so the same Lightning Roulette table can appear at dozens of casinos. What you choose is the casino around it: its offer, its terms for live play and the studios in its lobby.
The ranking below is updated live. Under it you find the house edge of each live game, what game shows return, and what a welcome bonus is worth when live bets count at 10%.
House edge on the banker bet in baccarat, the cheapest common live bet. The tie bet at 8 to 1 costs 14.36%.
European roulette with one zero against American roulette with two. Of 107 live roulette games listed here, 3 are American.
Highest RTP of any bet spot in Crazy Time, the most played game show. Classic European roulette returns 97.30%.
A 10% weighting for live bets means ten times the wagering to clear the same bonus.
Live game pages on this site that come from Evolution, the largest supplier by far.

Each game type has its own odds, pace and limits. The figures are published game maths and the count of games listed on this site.
How live casinos work
Most live studios use the same chain. Details differ by studio and game.
Live vs RNG
Same maths, slower pace. A bet on a single-zero wheel has a 2.70% edge live or digital. Live tables settle fewer rounds per hour, so the same stake costs less per hour.
| Point | Live dealer | RNG table |
|---|---|---|
| Result from | Physical cards, wheel or dice | Random number generator |
| Pace | Set by the dealer and the betting timer | As fast as you click |
| House edge | Set by the rules and payouts | Set by the rules and payouts |
| Table limits | Set per table by the studio and the casino | Usually lower minimums |
| Bonus weighting | Often reduced or 0% | Often higher |
| Social side | Dealer and chat | None |

Game shows
Game shows pay through bonus rounds and multipliers, and each bet spot has its own RTP.
Live bonus maths Example data
Most welcome bonuses count live bets at a fraction of their value. The rows use example terms: a 100 bonus with 35x wagering on the bonus.
The weighting decides the value more than the bonus size. At a 10% weighting every live bet counts as a tenth of a bet, so you wager ten times as much and the house edge works on all of it.
| Weighting | Live bets needed | Baccarat banker 1.06% | European roulette 2.7% | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100% | $3,500 | +$62.90 | +$5.50 | live bets count in full; on a low-edge bet most of the bonus survives the wagering. |
| 20% | $17,500 | −$85.50 | −$372 | five times the betting of a full-weight bonus; the expected loss passes the bonus even on banker. |
| 10% | $35,000 | −$271 | −$845 | a common live rate in casino terms; the expected loss is several times the bonus. |
| 0% | n/a | cannot clear | cannot clear | live bets do not count at all; clear the bonus on other games or decline it. |
Live bets needed = bonus × wagering ÷ weighting
$100 × 35 ÷ 10% = $35,000
Expected loss = live bets × house edge
$35,000 × 1.06% = $371
Value after losses: −$271

Patterns and exceptions
What it means: on the same 100 staked, banker loses 1.06 on average and tie 14.36. Pick the bet before the table.
What it means: you rarely need to hunt for a single-zero wheel; check the RTP line in the game before you bet.
What it means: you pay for the bonus rounds through a lower RTP on every spin.

Glossary
An online casino section where a dealer runs a real game in a studio and you bet through a video stream. Cards, wheels and dice are physical, and results are read by cameras or sensors.
Among common bets, the banker bet in baccarat at 1.06% and even-money bets on French roulette with La Partage at about 1.35%. Blackjack can go lower with basic strategy: the live blackjack tables listed on this site show RTPs of 98.45–99.59%.
Often only in part. Many bonus terms count live bets at a reduced weighting or not at all. Check the game-weighting table before you accept the bonus; the calculator on this page shows what a weighting means in bets.
Results come from physical cards, wheels and dice read by scanners and cameras, and studios are licensed as game suppliers. Check that your casino holds a licence you can verify on the regulator's register. The house edge is built into the payouts, so a fair game still costs you money over time.
18 in most countries, higher in some. Check the law where you live; online casino play is not legal everywhere.
