GT99 Live Casino: How Live Dealer Games Work

How a live round runs

Each round has the same rhythm. A betting window opens with a countdown. You place chips on the betting panel before it closes. The dealer then deals or spins, the result is shown, and winning bets are paid automatically. A new round starts after a short gap.

Cause and effect: the countdown is the only thing you control, and missing it means waiting for the next round. Bets cannot be changed once the window closes.

Latency is worth knowing about. The video stream trails the real action by a second or two, so the result you see is already settled. This is why you cannot bet after the window closes, and why a slow connection can make a round look as if it started without you.

Common games and what they ask

The tables below ask different questions. The pages linked in the next section explain each in detail.

Reading a table before joining

Check the minimum and maximum bet shown on the table tile. Look at the side bets, which usually carry a larger house edge than the main bet. Watch a few rounds without betting to learn the pace and the panel layout.

Game pages: baccarat, roulette, blackjack, Dragon Tiger, Sic Bo, Teen Patti, Andar Bahar and Crazy Time.

Also note whether a table is seated or unlimited. Seated tables, common in blackjack, have a fixed number of places and may ask you to wait for one. Unlimited tables let everyone bet on the same outcome at once.

Pace and budget

Live tables run at a steady pace of a round every minute or so, depending on the game. Spending per hour is bets per round times rounds per hour. Decide a unit bet and a number of rounds first. The responsible gaming page covers limits, and the slots hub offers a different pace if you prefer it.

Keep a count of rounds, because the pace hides the total. A table that deals every minute reaches sixty bets in an hour, and even a small unit bet becomes a large sum across that many rounds.
