What is a Live Casino?

Live dealer casinos, also called "live" casinos, let players interact with real-time human dealers without physically visiting the casino. With video cameras, specialised gaming studios broadcast the game on television. Real dealers are located in these studios, and players may use chat windows to ask questions and place bets from any location on their preferred device.

How Do Live Casinos Work?

Although everything may be digital and computerised, online casinos must continue investing extensively in technology for their platforms and staff.

The standard live dealer website requires a studio, croupier, camera operator, pit master, and information manager. Due to the significant cost of establishing such a casino, only a restricted number of games are offered. Most live gambling platforms offer blackjack, baccarat, roulette, poker, and sic bo.

The three rooms that comprise a live casino floor are the studio room, the analyst room, and the software room. However, this configuration may vary depending on the operator. Customers must abide by the rules to access the internet and play from home.

The Game Control Unit (GCU) is another essential component of a live casino. The device is roughly the size of a shoebox, and each table has one. It is responsible for encoding video transmissions. On such platforms, the dealer cannot operate the game without the GCU. Simply put, no live game would be complete without a GCU.
