How do live casino games work and what are the rules?

What live casino is

Live casino games are streamed in HD video from professionally-staffed studios where real human dealers run real tables in real time. You bet through the Cinoslots interface; the dealer on screen actually deals the cards / spins the wheel / rolls the dice.

This is not an animation. The cards are physical, the dealers are physical, the table is physical. We integrate with three of the largest live providers worldwide:

• Evolution — flagship Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, plus game shows (Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette, Monopoly Live)
• Pragmatic Play Live — competitive variants of all classics
• Ezugi — strong on regional variants (Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, Sic Bo)

Game families and rules

Blackjack

Standard 21 rules. Variants we host:

• Classic Blackjack — 6-deck shoe, standard splitting/doubling
• Infinite Blackjack — unlimited seats; everyone plays the same hand
• Lightning Blackjack — random multipliers on winning hands
• Speed Blackjack — fast-deal variant; same RTP, double the rounds per hour
• Free Bet Blackjack — house pays your double-downs and splits

RTP: 99.4–99.7% with basic strategy. Our basic strategy chart is on every blackjack table's info panel.

Roulette

• European Roulette (single zero) — RTP 97.30%
• American Roulette (double zero) — RTP 94.74% — avoid, the European version is mathematically better
• Lightning Roulette — random number multipliers up to 500×
• Immersive Roulette — multi-camera, slow-mo replays

Baccarat

Standard punto-banco rules. RTP: 98.94% on banker bet, 98.76% on player bet, 85.64% on tie (avoid the tie).

Game shows (Evolution exclusive)

• Crazy Time — money wheel with 4 bonus rounds, RTP 96.08%
• Monopoly Live — themed wheel, RTP 96.23%
• Dream Catcher — simple money wheel, RTP 96.58%
• Lightning variants — wheels with random multipliers

These are higher-volatility, more entertainment-focused games. RTP is decent but variance is high.

Etiquette

• Tip the dealer if you'd like (button on table). Tips go to the dealer, not Cinoslots.
• Use chat to thank or congratulate; don't be rude (you'll get muted).
• Don't share strategies in chat — most providers rate-limit chat to keep it social.

Streaming quality

Default is 1080p; falls to 720p on slow connections. You can lock the resolution from the game's settings panel.

Is it actually fair?

Yes. Studios are independently audited (eCOGRA, BMM, GLI), monitored 24/7, and shoes/wheels are inspected after every shift. Game outcomes are physically random, not RNG-derived. The audit firm verifies dealer compliance and shoe integrity quarterly.

Mobile

All live tables work on mobile (iOS Safari, Android Chrome). Landscape orientation gives the best experience.
