The outcome of the game. In traditional online casino games the outcome is determined by a Random Number Generator (RNG). In a Live Dealer casino a real dealer shuffles cards or spins the Roulette. Same as in brick-and-mortar casinos.

Variety of games and accessibility. Live Dealer casinos rely on physical tables and dealers. They must account for operating costs and are therefore likely to focus on popular game variations. This may also lead them to offer a limited number of tables per game and operate in specific hours. Online casinos benefit from lower operating costs and do not require minimum number of players to justify this cost. Online players can therefore find a larger selection of games and choose from many different variations.

Privacy and atmosphere. For many casino players, nothing beats the fun and excitement of gathering around a Blackjack, Roulette or Baccarat table at the local casino and placing a bet while chatting with their friends or favorite dealer. Those players are sure to appreciate the interactive and social experience offered by Live Dealer casinos. If you tend to like a very specific version of the game, enjoy a faster pace or simply prefer to play in a more private setting, then the virtual versions of the games are likely to be a better match for you. But if you enjoy the presence of other players at the table and chatting with the dealer, then Live Dealer may just be the right experience for you.
