What Is Live Blackjack?
Live blackjack is an online version of the classic table game, played in real-time with a professional live dealer via HD video stream. Unlike digital blackjack that uses Random Number Generators (RNGs), live dealer blackjack takes place in a real studio or casino with physical cards and live blackjack dealers.
Key differences from RNG-based blackjack:
Played in real-time with a live dealer
No algorithmic outcomes – real cards are shuffled and dealt
Real-time interaction through chat or interface buttons
Immersive experience that mimics brick-and-mortar casinos
Live blackjack online is perfect for players who want the feel of a real casino without leaving home.
