Live Dealer Games At DegenCity Casino: 780 Tables Streamed In Real Time
We built our live casino around one idea: the feel of a real table, without leaving home. Instead of random number generators alone, our live section connects players to real dealers dealing real cards and spinning real wheels, streamed from professional studios straight to a phone, tablet or desktop screen. Across our platform we run 780 live games, sitting alongside 6,289 pokies and 239 table games in a total library of 7,693 titles. That live count gives New Zealand players a genuinely deep pool of roulette wheels, blackjack tables, baccarat shoes and poker rooms to choose from, not just a handful of flagship tables bolted onto a slots site.
The technology behind live dealer gaming is worth understanding before you sit down at a table. A studio-based camera rig captures the dealer and the game equipment from multiple angles, that video feed is compressed and sent over the internet, and a game engine overlays your betting interface, chip stacks and side-bet options in real time. Optical character recognition and RFID chips are typically used behind the scenes to register card values and roulette outcomes instantly and feed them into the software, which is what allows results to register correctly and payouts to calculate the moment a hand or spin finishes.
The Providers Running Our Live Tables
Our live catalogue is powered by studios that specialise specifically in this format rather than general slot development. We work with:
- Evolution Gaming — widely regarded as the leading live casino studio globally, known for high-production tables and a broad range of variants
- Pragmatic Play Live — a major supplier of live roulette, blackjack and game-show style tables
- Microgaming Live — an established name contributing additional table variety and dealer rotations
Having three separate live studios feeding our platform matters in practice. It means different table limits, different dealer styles, different studio backgrounds and different peak availability windows, so if your preferred blackjack table is busy or you want a change of pace, there is a genuine alternative from another studio rather than a duplicate of the same feed.
What You Will Find Across Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat And Poker
Our live lobby is organised around the classic table game formats, each with its own structure and betting rhythm:
- Roulette — European and other wheel variants where you bet on numbers, colours, odds/evens or sections before the dealer spins live
- Blackjack — hand-vs-dealer card play where you hit, stand, double or split against a live dealer working from a real shoe
- Baccarat — a simpler two-hand format, Player versus Banker, popular for its fast pace and straightforward rules
- Poker-style live tables — casino poker variants where you play against the house rather than other players, following fixed rules rather than bluffing an opponent
Each format carries a different house edge and a different pace of play. Baccarat tends to move quickly with simple binary outcomes, blackjack rewards players who understand basic strategy decisions, and roulette offers flexible bet sizing across single numbers or broader sections of the wheel. None of this is about predicting outcomes — every spin and every shuffle is independent, and past results have no bearing on what comes next.
Understanding RTP In A Live Setting
Return to player, or RTP, describes the theoretical percentage of all wagers on a game that gets paid back to players over a very large number of rounds. In live dealer games this figure is fixed by the specific bet type rather than by chance-based mechanics behind the scenes, since the outcome comes from a physical wheel spin or a real card draw rather than a random number generator alone. RTP and the house edge are simply two sides of the same number — a blackjack side bet with lower RTP carries a higher house edge, while the main game typically sits closer to the return level associated with correct strategy play. RTP is calculated over millions of rounds industry-wide, so it describes long-run behaviour rather than what happens in any single session, and it should never be treated as a promise about short-term results.
Table Limits, Pacing And Choosing A Seat
Live tables generally run on fixed betting windows — a set number of seconds to place chips before the dealer calls “no more bets” — so pacing is steadier than a pokie spin but faster than sitting at a physical casino table waiting for other players. Minimum and maximum bet limits vary from table to table and studio to studio, which is one of the practical reasons for having multiple providers feeding one lobby: a player who wants smaller stakes can sit at a lower-limit table, while a player who wants bigger swings can look for a higher-limit variant of the same game. It is worth checking the limit displayed on each table before joining, since a room labelled as the same game type can carry very different minimum bets depending on the studio running it.
Live Casino Sits Alongside Our Wider Games Library
Our live tables are one part of a broader lobby that also includes our online pokies, spanning 6,289 titles from providers including Pragmatic Play, Hacksaw Gaming, BGaming, NetEnt, Play’n Go, Nolimit City, Relax Gaming, Red Tiger and Microgaming, across 55 providers in total. Where pokies rely on random number generation to produce outcomes independently each spin, live tables replicate a physical casino floor, and having both formats side by side means a session can move fluidly between spinning a pokie and sitting down at a blackjack table without switching platforms. New players exploring the site for the first time can also look at our welcome bonus to see how deposit-matched funds and free spins apply across the wider casino.
Playing Live Dealer Games On Mobile
Our site runs as a responsive mobile web experience rather than a downloadable app, and live dealer streaming works through the same browser-based platform on iPhone, Android and tablets. Video feeds are optimised for smaller touchscreens, with betting controls repositioned so chips, bet spots and dealer camera angles remain clear without pinching or zooming. Because there is no app store install involved, opening a live table on mobile is a matter of loading the site in Safari or Chrome and adding it to your home screen for quicker return visits — more detail on that setup sits on our mobile access page.
Funding A Live Casino Session
Getting money onto the table itself is handled through our cashier, which supports crypto options including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDT, USDC, Tron, Solana, BNB and Ripple, alongside cards, bank transfer and e-wallets. Live tables draw from the same account balance as pokies and table games, so there is no separate live-casino wallet to manage — deposit once and the funds are available across the whole lobby. Full deposit and withdrawal timing, minimums and network confirmation details are covered on our payment methods page, which is worth a look before your first live session so you know roughly how long a top-up or a cash-out will take.
Registering And Getting To The Tables
Joining a live table starts with a standard account setup — registering through our login and registration page, verifying your details as required, and depositing before selecting a live room from the lobby. Studios operate around the clock across different time zones, so table availability at any given hour depends on which studio and shift is currently live, though with 780 tables in total there is generally a working option across roulette, blackjack, baccarat and poker formats at most times of day. Dealers rotate on fixed schedules the same way staff would on a physical casino floor, so you may notice a different dealer at the same table across separate sessions.
Playing Responsibly At The Tables
Live dealer games move at a real-world pace, but that does not change the fundamentals of responsible play. We support self-exclusion through live support, and once a self-exclusion request is approved, deposits, promo code redemption, tipping and gameplay are restricted for that account. Setting a personal budget before sitting down at a table, treating both wins and losses as part of entertainment rather than income, and stepping away when a session stops being enjoyable are all sound habits regardless of which table format you choose. Full detail on our tools and support options is available on our responsible gaming page, and our support team is reachable 24/7 through live chat and email if you want to talk through account limits or a self-exclusion request.
We operate under an Anjouan Gaming licence, number ALSI-202601025-FI1, through 3-102-939867 LIMITADA, giving our live tables and the rest of the DegenCity Casino platform a regulated framework to run on. Anyone joining us to play live roulette, blackjack, baccarat or poker needs to be 18 or over, or the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction if that is higher. Pull up a seat at one of our tables, pick the format that suits your pace, and treat the session as what it is meant to be — a live, real-time game for entertainment.
