Live casino: what you see before you sit down

How a live table is built

A live table is a real table in a studio, transmitted by video, with a betting field over the picture. These studios are run by a handful of providers who play their tables out to many houses at once — which is why you see the same table with the same limits at different addresses.

The stake range decides more than the game

Every table has a minimum and a maximum stake, and both stand in the overview before you join. That is the most important statement in the whole section: a table with a five-franc minimum uses a balance up ten times as fast as one at fifty centimes, regardless of how well you play.

The pace is set for you

At a machine you decide when the next round runs. At a live table it runs when the croupier starts it — with a visible window for the bets counting down. Underestimate that pace and you play more rounds an hour than you planned, and the number of rounds is what counts in the end.

Live tables and bonuses

In many sets of bonus terms live tables count only in small part towards the turnover, or are excluded entirely. Accept a bonus and then move to the live table and you may not be able to meet the turnover at all — readable under wagering requirements.

What live tables mean for choosing an address

A house buys its live tables from the same handful of studios as everybody else. What differs is how many tables it buys in — and therefore whether a seat with a suitable stake range is free at the time you want one. That is the only point in the catalogue at which «more» really does mean «better». The second point is the terms: live tables are especially often excluded from bonus terms or weighted low. Anyone who mostly plays at the table therefore often does better declining the bonus at the deposit — then there is no turnover, no deadline and no maximum stake, and the balance stays withdrawable at any time.

Where this game sits in the catalogue separates the houses less than the payment route and the terms do. Both stand in the ranking; the other kinds of game are under Games.

This kind of game in figures: Live casino stands in Switzerland at 260 searches a month, while the domain question of this site — «ausländische online casinos schweiz» — reaches 1 300. Search volume says nothing about the quality of a game; it says what gets written about on the web and what does not.
