Play Live Dealers for Real Money
By perfectly simulating the odds and probabilities of your favorite online table games, offering more variety than ever before, and even awarding life-changing jackpots, online casinos like Slots.lv offered everything their land-based counterparts could - except the human element.
Gamblers may be intently focused on the reels, cards, dice, and wheel, but in between bets, we all enjoy a little personal interaction. Brick and mortar casinos facilitated this by furnishing professional dealers and other staff to supervise the table games. You bet, make a little chit-chat with the dealer, and wait to see what Lady Luck has in store.
Afterward, the dealer might celebrate your win or commiserate after a bad beat, but their banter is always a welcome addition to the experience.
Online players, on the other hand, were left alone with pixels and graphics on a static screen - until the arrival of Live Dealer casino games that is.
Slots.lv has joined the Live Dealer revolution with the recent launch of six unique table games, including staples like Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarat. When you play one of these table games, you’ll be linked directly to casino live dealers working within a dedicated live streaming studio - complete with audio and video connection.
Casino Live Dealer Explained
Before the digital age turned the internet into walls of text and imagery, futurists imagined a time when people could connect directly to one another, face to face, straight through their screen.
And while Apple’s FaceTime has you covered there on the smartphone front, online casinos were much slower in adapting to that personalized dynamic. Eventually though, players asked for a more realistic table game experience, and software designed delivered in spades with Live Dealer for real money.
By building a full-fledged film studio that doubles as a bona fide casino floor, Slots.lv has dozens of casino live dealers on hand around the clock. These highly trained professionals work Live Dealer casino games just like they would in your local card room - announcing bets, distributing cards, and revealing winners.
Using genuine casino tables, felt, and other equipment like blackjack shoes and roulette wheels, live dealers oversee a genuine real money gambling session. As the player, you log into your account as per usual, navigate to the Live Dealer section of the table games menu, and place your initial wagers. But instead of staring at simple animations and other onscreen effects, you’ll have a beautiful lady or handsome beau on hand to completely replicate a real casino’s sights and sounds.
These dealers don’t just stand there and work in silence either, so be prepared to bring your wittiest banter and icebreakers to the conversation. In between bets, players might hear a fun story about how your dealer discovered the gaming industry, or swap notes on a tourist destination you’ve both been to. You can even toss them a tip after a particularly profitable outcome.
All in all, Live Dealer for real money on Slots.lv is the next best thing to making a visit to Sin City.
The Difference Between Online Casino and Live Dealer
The first thing players taking part in Live Dealer casino games for the first time notice is the leisurely pace of play.
With physical wheels to spin and cards to deal, Live Dealer games provide a more realistic gameplay experience when compared to the usual automated tables. Players have built-in breaks in between each outcome, giving you an opportunity to assess the situation before automatically pointing and clicking to place the next bet.
Live Dealer tables are still plenty fast, so don’t worry about sacrificing your pace of play too much. You’ll still get dozens of more bets per hour in than you would in a real casino, thanks in large part to the absence of fellow players gumming up the works.
Every gambler has found themselves stuck at that one table a time or too before, waiting for an inebriated player to get themselves together, or a rank rookie to figure out the lay of the land. And while that’s all par for the course in a physical casino, Live Dealer games eliminate the issue entirely by limiting your onscreen action to your wagers alone.
Sure, other players all over the planet will still be participating in your Live Dealer table, they just won’t exert undue influence on the speed of play. Timers ensure everybody acts in a prompt manner, so you’ll never see a Live Dealer blackjack game slow to a snail’s pace just because one guy or gal can’t remember which chips are worth what.
Naturally, the biggest difference between Live Dealer tables and their basic online brothers is the presence of a living, breathing dealer. It won’t change the outcome in the end, but there’s just something special about a smiling dealer wishing players “good luck” before a pivotal card hits the felt.
The other main draw for Live Dealer players is savoring the sweat, or the anticipation we all know and love while waiting for the final result to be revealed.
In a basic online roulette game, for example, the wheel’s deliciously slow spin is sped up to streamline the gameplay. You click a button, wait a few seconds, and find out where the ball landed… wash, rinse, and repeat.
But when you play Live Dealer roulette on Slots.lv, you get to watch the dealer flick her wrist and send the wheel spinning, all while the silver ball bounces around at random. Eventually, after a nice “long” sweat of 15 seconds or so, the ball finds its final resting place to decide your wager.
The Live Dealer Etiquette
The rule of thumb when playing a Live Dealer game is to treat the experience exactly as you would in a real casino.
That means no berating the dealers after a bad beat, making rude comments, or doing anything that might make them feel uncomfortable. Remember, these men and women are performing a valuable service for every player at their table, so they deserve the utmost respect.
On that note, be sure to take advantage of the “T” button located onscreen in every Live Dealer table game. This button lets you send a tip straight to the dealer after they deal out a lucky winner, or just make you laugh after a loss.
Tips are the lifeblood of any casino employee economy, so if you enjoy what you find in the Live Dealer section, be sure to let the folks who make the magic happen know about it by flicking a chip or two their way.
Live Dealer Casino Games
Slots.lv is now home to six unique Live Dealer games, so check out the descriptions below to find out the rules of the road:
Blackjack Live Dealer
This is good old-fashioned 21 as you’ve known and loved the game since your first trip to Las Vegas.
With an online blackjack live dealer on hand to run the show, you’ll be playing by standard house rules, including the preferable 3 to 2 payout for making blackjack. Other provisions of note include one split pair allowed per round, doubling down on any two cards, and the dealer hitting on Soft 17.
Early Payout Blackjack
This form of Live Dealer blackjack is a new addition to the online casino landscape which looks to make things easier on the player than ever before.
The house seldom sets up a game in which it holds no edge, but when proper strategy is applied, Early Payout Blackjack creates an enormous expected return of 99.50% for players. The crux of Early Payout Blackjack is deceptively simple - after seeing your starting hand’s strength relative to the dealers, along with subsequent cards, the game asks if you’d like to “cash out” right then and there.
Say you score a sweet 20 total, but the dealer shows a 10-value card to give you a sweat. In standard blackjack, you’d be forced to stand and see what happens, and any Ace for the dealer would doom your 20 to disaster.
But in this game, the screen will light up with an Early Payout offer of 50% profit on your initial bet - which is a great way to hedge against uncertainty.
The other hook for Early Payout Blackjack is how the game makes playing perfectly a breeze. Instead of memorizing those massive basic strategy charts, the game screen will let you know exactly which action to take in order to play perfectly. Of course, blackjack is the ultimate player’s game, so you can always deviate from the charts and go with your gut instead.
American Roulette
The first version of Live Dealer roulette found on Slots.lv is based on the American version of the game.
That means you’ll find two of those pesky green spaces – “0” and “00” – working for the house, along with the 1 through 36 spaces in black and red. Of course, this makes the unique “Top Line” (also known as the “Basket”) bet possible, as players can lump the 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3 together in a single wager to shoot for a 6 to 1 score.
European Roulette
The second version of Live Dealer roulette on the site is a tried and true classic. European roulette wheels only have one “0” space to dodge, so single-number and Red/Black bettors have a slightly better chance to collect a winner.
Baccarat
The elegant two-hand guessing game can be played in its traditional form via Live Dealer baccarat.
House rules, probabilities, and payouts are consistent with every casino in the world, so this is as faithful a recreation of the real thing as you’ll find anywhere online.
Baccarat Super 6
This game is simply basic baccarat with the popular “Super 6” side bet thrown in for good measure.
Owing to the Banker bet’s inherent advantage, Baccarat Super 6 cuts any Banker bet win on a total of exactly 6 down, making it 0.5 to 1 instead of the usual 0.95 to 1. In exchange, players receive the full 1 to 1 return on any non-6 Banker bet winner, and you can also make the Super 6 side bet to earn 12 to 1 on your money when the Banker 6 shows up.
Play Live Dealers
Live Dealer casino games played online have always been viewed as the wave of the future, but here at Slots.lv, the future is now. With the six games included in the initial launch, and new additions sure to come down the road, players have almost every facet of the casino floor covered.
Thanks to Live Dealer blackjack in both traditional and Early Payout formats, Live Dealer roulette played on the European single-zero and American double-zero wheels, and Live Dealer baccarat offering standard and Super 6 gameplay, players of all tastes will find the perfect table for them at Slots.lv.
Refer a Friend for Live Dealer
Every casino worth its salt – whether it be live or online – will offer you a generous benefits package for being a loyal player. Slots Casino takes this up a notch with our version of the refer-a-friend promotion (aka RAF promotion), which we call the Refer & Earn program. For every friend you refer, we’ll match their first deposit at Slots by 100%, giving you up to $200 in free bonus cash. The more friends you get to sign up, the more bonus money you can collect.
