Live casino games are played against a real dealer, who deals cards or spins a wheel in a studio streamed to your screen. The results come from the physical table, and you place your bets through the game window. This page explains the common live formats, how the rules work in practice, and what to check before you join a live table at Betti.
Common variants of live casino
Live casino usually covers the classic games you know from the RNG section, run with a dealer. The most common formats are live blackjack, live roulette, live baccarat and live poker-style table games. Game shows, which are run by a presenter and often include a bonus wheel, follow their own rules. Dream Catcher is one example of this format on this site.
Live tables differ in seats, limits and rules, such as the number of decks in blackjack or whether the dealer stands on soft 17. Roulette variants also differ, and Immersive Roulette is a version with its own features. Check which live tables are open at Betti and their limits before you sit down.
How live casino rules work
Each live game follows the rules of its classic version. In blackjack, you aim to get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. The European roulette wheel has 37 pockets, one of them zero. In baccarat, you bet on the player, the banker or a tie, and the hand closest to 9 wins. The blackjack and roulette pages go through the rules in more detail.
Live rounds follow a pace set by the dealer. Bets usually close before the dealer deals or spins, and the result appears on screen. Table limits set the minimum and maximum stake, and they decide how much you can bet per round, so read them before you join. The payouts for each bet are shown in the game information. Read them before you place a bet.

Live dealer and RNG games compared
An RNG game is generated by software. Each result comes from a random number generator, and the round runs at the speed you set. A live game uses a real dealer and a physical wheel or deck, streamed in real time. The odds depend on the rules of the table you choose, not on whether a dealer is present.
The live format adds a human dealer, a slower pace and a more social feel. Some players find that the pace makes it harder to stop, so decide how long you will play before you start.
Tips before you play
Read the rules and the payout table before you place a real bet. Results are random, so no betting pattern or system changes the odds. Systems such as Martingale raise your stake after each loss, but they do not change the house edge, so they cannot make losses go away.
Choose a stake you are comfortable losing, set a session time and a loss limit, and stop when you reach them. The safer gambling page explains the tools that can help you keep control of your play.
