Improvements in computers and network speeds have allowed a hybrid of live and online casino games to flourish. Online casino fans can now play roulette<\/a>, blackjack<\/a> or baccarat with a live croupier controlling the action. Your bets and actions will be controlled by your mouse, you can interact with the other players via a text chat box, and the dealer (usually an attractive lady) can reply verbally. These games add a new dimension to Bitcoin casinos, giving you a social and interactive experience.<\/p>\n This page takes you through everything you need to know about Bitcoin live dealer casinos. First we cover the different games you can play, how they work, and which casinos host them. Next you will find a quick guide aimed at players who have yet to gamble with Bitcoin and looking to learn how to get started. Then you\u2019ll find the pros and cons of choosing Bitcoin live dealer games compared with the fiat-currency ones you\u2019ll find at other online casinos.<\/p>\n Most importantly, here’s some of our recommended sportsbook and casino sites to play live dealer games.<\/p>\n[top-5-partners-table partner_ids=”202,3053,389,1285″][\/top-5-partners-table]\n If you want to enjoy live dealer Bitcoin games, then the best platform to go for is the one created by CoinGaming. This combines titles from different software houses including BetSoft, and it also has two live dealer areas to choose from. Both of these are supplied by third-party software houses and are played via the “Tableslive” URL. The casino games available are blackjack, roulette and\u00a0baccarat, with lottery- and dice-type games running from a separate studio.<\/p>\n The best place to head to for these games is BitCasino.io, where you can check out the live dealer games before you deposit. You\u2019ll get an instant view of the dealers in action simply by clicking the live dealer link in the top menu. This lists the games available, which are English or Spanish roulette, blackjack and\u00a0baccarat. Minimum bets are just 1mBTC, with maximums of 400mBTC. When you click on each game, a new window pops up with the dealer stream in the top centre\u00a0and the betting grid below. To the left of the dealer stream you\u2019ll see a chat window which you can use to interact with the dealers and other players.<\/p>\n Live dealer Bitcoin roulette is playing using a European (single zero) wheel. You\u2019ll see the standard betting layout covering the bottom half of the screen for the number and “outside” bets. If you hit the “Call Bets” button at the bottom left of the screen, then a racetrack betting grid appears which includes both specialty and neighbours bets. Bets are settled automatically and cleared as the dealer announces the winning numbers, with the spins approximately 30 seconds apart.<\/p>\n Live dealer Bitcoin blackjack is available in both Spanish and English. This is a seven-seater game in which you can play more than one hand at a time. The dealer handles cards which have large numbers printed on them so you can follow the action easily. You bet electronically and indicate your decisions with your mouse too. While this game can get a little slow, playing with others does add a social element. The decks are reshuffled when four of the eight decks remain, making card counting very difficult.<\/p>\n Baccarat operates in the same way, although this can be played one-to-many\u00a0since betting on “Player”, “Banker” or “Tie” does not require any further decision-making. You should avoid the “Tie” bet in this game, which has an extremely high house-edge compared with the other bets.<\/p>\nWhat Bitcoin Live Dealer Casino Games Can\u00a0Be Played Online?<\/h2>\n
