Croupiers

Smart Live Casino is led by six croupiers every day between the hours of 9am and 6am (UK). The croupiers at Smart Live Casino are a mix of both television presenters who have been trained by the channel, and experienced croupiers who have worked in Land Based Casinos.

Games

Smart Live Casino consists of several different types of games. They are;

Live Roulette

This televised version of the game of roulette exactly mimics the game found in real casinos around Europe. Smart Live Casino uses the single zero European wheel, rather than the American double-zero version, which shifts the odds slightly in favour of players and away from the house. Each game is open for one minute for viewers to place bets and a new number is spun approximately every two minutes. Smart Live Gaming was the first casino to offer a live roulette app in Appstore. Latest Version of Live Roulette App is iPhone 5 and iPad compatible.

Live Blackjack

Smart Live Casino deals in standard blackjack. The unique online interface allows players to play the hand their chosen way while other players play the hand differently. This means that while everyone will start with the same two cards, and the dealer will always start with the same starting card, the rest of the cards are not dealt to a particular hand. Players win or lose the hand based solely on the decisions they have taken; the decisions other people take will have no impact on those of the other players.
