Read definitionCommon questions
Is live casino better value than online slots?
Per hour, usually yes, because live tables run far slower and the house edge is charged per round. The classic tables are also much cheaper than the game show formats in the same lobby.
Are live casino games fair?
Outcomes come from physical equipment rather than software, and licensed operators are audited. A certified RNG and a real wheel are equally fair; the difference is what players find convincing.
