To see which live tables and game shows are on offer, I looked through rocket riches first. Live casino streams real dealers from a studio, so the experience is closer to a table in a venue than to a software game. A few things are worth checking before you take a seat.
Tables, limits and the studio
Check the minimum and maximum bet at each table and the hours the studio runs. Blackjack, roulette and baccarat come in several variants with different rules; the rules summary on the table tells you how the dealer plays and what the payouts are. A stable video stream and a clear betting window are signs of a well-run studio.
Game shows and side bets
Game shows add multipliers and bonus rounds on top of a simple wheel or card draw, which makes them entertaining but also volatile. Side bets in blackjack and baccarat usually carry a bigger house edge than the main game, so they suit small stakes only.
Etiquette, speed and responsible play
Live tables move at the dealer's pace, so decisions have a time limit. Set a session budget and a time reminder before you sit down, as the pace can make it easy to lose track of both.
Final word
Treat live play as entertainment, stay within your limits and take regular breaks. Only for players aged 18 or over.
