Rules in a nutshell
Live dealer is the same game math as RNG, but with a human dealer. Latency, table limits, and side bets are the levers to watch.
Side bets
Higher house edge — fun, but always optional
Table limits
Min stakes from $0.50; high-roller rooms to $50,000
Latency
Round time is fixed — fast Wi-Fi only matters for chat
Behind-bet option
When seats are full, bet on another player's hand
Strategy
Basics that cut house edge
Skip side bets
Insurance, Perfect Pairs and most side bets are 5–10% house edge.
Prefer EU/FR rule sets
Look for "Dealer stands on soft 17" and "Double after split".
Watch latency before high stakes
A 4-second delay on a $500 hand makes for poor decisions.
Use the dedicated app
Mobile apps usually use a lower-latency stream than the web client.
