Live Casino Online - Real Money Play at Paddy Power
Play Live Casino with Paddy Power Games
At Paddy Power, you’ll find a comprehensive range of live dealer games. We’ve left no stone unturned in providing an exceptional user experience to all who come to play with us online. Like any good live casino online, you’ll find stacks of games available, each vetted by Paddy himself - to ensure they are of the highest quality. And with our traditional casino and sportsbook, as well as some hunky promotions and bonuses, there really is no better place to continue your live game experience.
Do you ever feel like there’s something missing from the classic casino games? Hitting the blackjack and roulette tables is exciting enough, but wouldn’t it be cool if the games were overseen by real human dealers, who you could interact with as the action unfolds?
Well, good news friend: you already can. That’s the magic of the Live Casino.
Live Casino Online: What are Live Casino Games?
From stalwarts like roulette and blackjack to baccarat, the basic principles of your favourite casino games are exactly the same in their live dealer versions. But as the name suggests, in an online live casino, your bets are taken by an actual human being, working in a proper casino that is then streamed directly to your chosen device, courtesy of Paddy Power.
How do Live Casino games work?
The action of a live dealer game is exactly the same as any other casino offering. The difference here is that instead of clicking icons on a screen to place your bets and deal the cards, the dealer is on hand to oversee matters in the same way they would if you were in a land-based casino.
The graphic overlays still let you know how many chips you’ve got (relating to your account balance), and any wins are totted up and displayed on-screen for you to savour too. You'll often find even more useful stats and options on the game screen.
What is the difference between an Online Casino and a Live Casino?
A live dealer casino features a number of edge-of-the-seat games where the action unfolds in the safe hands of a professional dealer. They take your chips, deal the cards, spin the wheel and so on, and you can interact with them as the game takes place.
All the drama is live-streamed in HD too, so this is the closest you can get to the thrills and spills of a bricks & mortar casino, without having to get up off the sofa.
A regular (non-live) online casino is a website or platform, like Paddy Power, that offers casino games online. These can be live or traditional, non-live online games.
What games can be played at Live Casino Tables?
Below, you can find the most popular types of live casino games.
Live Roulette
An end to impersonal games of roulette – a 2D wheel designed by a computer programmer whizzing around – is possible thanks to live roulette games, where the dealer will accept your wagers before setting the wheel in motion. Of all the live games online, Live Roulette is one of the most satisfying, with the clanking of the wheel as it grinds slowly to a halt, revealing the location of that little magic ball of destiny. Choose from Live Quantum Roulette, Lightning Roulette, and other exciting live roulette games.
Live Blackjack
The action is elevated to a new level thanks to the presence of the live dealer. Suddenly, you feel like you are taking on the dealer and battling for supremacy, which is a nice little adrenaline rush on a cold and rainy Tuesday afternoon. And, of course we have all the best side-betting options for you to consider too. Try out Live Quantum Blackjack, Infinite Blackjack, Free Bets Blackjack and more.
Live Table Games
There are plenty of niche titles to enjoy in Paddy Power’s live casino too. You can try your hand at Crazy Time, 3 Card Brag, Live Sic-Bo Deluxe, Hi-Lo, Casino Hold’em and the legendary Spin-a-Win, Live MONOPOLY, which will leave you feeling like you’ve wandered onto the set of a '90s TV game show. We also have Live slot games, such as Buffalo Blitz Live and Age of the Gods; God of Storms to check out. Experience the thrill of a slot machine, but in a community setting.
Exclusive Live Tables
Here at Paddy Power, we’ve gone that extra mile as far as our live blackjack games are concerned. We’ve created a series of tables where you can participate in exclusive promotions, that you won’t find anywhere else. Each table has a different buy-in range and varying limits too, giving you plenty of options to explore.
Game Shows
Evolution Gaming, the leader of the Live Casino world, have supplemented their selection of impressive live dealer products with live game shows. Have fun and immersive entertainment with the live casino games based on popular TV shows and board games!
All about Live Dealers
They are all professional croupiers; they’re not actors or merely people selected because they look good on screen. You can rest assured that they are highly skilled and know each of the games they oversee like the back of their hand. In many live dealer casino games, you can interact with the dealers too. So it helps a lot that they are all good fun and up for a laugh as well - we know, because we've picked them carefully.
Can users talk to Live Dealers?
You can interact with the live dealers - in fact, we encourage you to. Occasionally, they will be able to hear you directly, and for other live dealer casino games you can talk to them via a live chat interface.
As ever, the usual rules that apply to society are in play: don’t be rude, don’t be inappropriate and don’t act the fool, as you may find yourself banished.
Can Live Dealers influence the game?
Live dealer games are no different from traditional bricks-and-mortar casino offerings. All the dealers are there to do is take your bets, hand out the cards and spin the wheel. If they can provide some light-hearted fun along the way then great.
How to play Live Casino Games
All you need to do is select your chosen game from the lobby and wait to be seated.
Once seated, you will be able to interact with the dealer at the table and place your bets in the usual way, with on-screen prompts helping to keep the action flowing.
Rules and Strategies
The rules for our live dealer casino games are the same as they would be for any other version of the title you have chosen.
As for strategy, it’s a case of each to their own on that front. If you have experience of playing at a live casino then you may decide to stick to the games that you are familiar with.
If you are a complete newcomer to a live dealer casino, then take the time to read our rules and strategy guides for each casino game. It may just take your enjoyment of the games to the next level.
Can Live Casino players sit at more than one table?
Yes, you can. You can usually sit at up to three tables at any one time, although please be courteous to your fellow players and make sure you remain focused. Nobody wants to play with someone whose mind has wandered elsewhere, thus slowing down the pace for everybody else!
Should I choose a full table or one that has empty seats?
If a table is full, it can be a sign that the action is unfolding at a nice pace and that the dealer is doing a great job.
But just because a table has free spaces doesn’t mean the experience is below-par. You may simply have chosen a more niche game to play, or you might be online outside of the most popular times to play.
Our advice is to simply stick with your favourite game(s). If a seat is free then happy days, if not you know it will be worth the wait.
Can Live Dealers see players?
No, the live dealer cannot see you at home. So, if you’re sat there playing in your superhero pyjamas, don't worry!
Can Live Casino players see other users?
All you can see on your game screen is the dealer going about their business and the game board – whether that’s the roulette wheel or the green felt of the blackjack, or baccarat. You’ll see cards and chips and useful information about betting options on your screen, but certainly not other players.
Is playing Live Casino safe?
At Paddy Power Live Casino, you can rest assured that you are in the safest of hands. Our site is encrypted with the latest SSL technologies, so any information you share with us – and us alone – is kept secure.
We also continue to be regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority, who ensure the highest standards of practice are adhered to.
