Reading this ranking
Live tables suit players who want a slower, more sociable game and can afford slightly higher minimum stakes. The classic three, blackjack, baccarat and roulette, are the same games as their software versions with the same edges. Live casino poker and Sic Bo add a dealer to games that are otherwise quick. Game shows are the live lobby's entertainment product and are priced accordingly.
