Live Dealer Games 2026

Live Dealer Games use real-time video to connect online wagering interfaces with physical cards, wheels, dice or game-show equipment handled in a studio or casino setting. Common products include blackjack, roulette, baccarat and house-banked poker, while modern live studios also offer wheel shows and hybrid formats with multipliers or bonus rounds.

OLG’s current live-casino catalogue illustrates that a live lobby is a collection of separate tables rather than a single game. Each table can carry its own betting limits, language, side bets, payout rules and schedule. Roulette can differ by wheel format, blackjack by dealer and splitting rules, baccarat by commission treatment, and game shows by segment probabilities and feature mechanics.

Bets are entered through software, but the visible physical event forms part of the result process for the table. That delivery model does not make provider-level claims a substitute for the table rules. A participant comparing Live Dealer Games needs the exact table name, wagering window, limits, payout schedule and any special side-bet or bonus conditions. Studio availability can also change during the day or by jurisdiction. The category therefore describes the streamed delivery format; the specific table defines the actual game and its mathematics.
