Most games by Evolution Gaming do not make use of RNG software. Evolution streams its live tables from physical studios, and employs the use of physical Roulette wheels and real playing cards.

This means that the RTP of a game of Blackjack, Baccarat or Roulette streamed by Evolution is the same as the RTP while playing the same game at a land-based casino. The only variations in RTP between one table variant and another are due to the different side bets and any additional payouts on offer for a specific game.

Perhaps the most important aspect of a live dealer suite is the number of different games that are offered. Evolution Gaming has long been among the best firms when it comes to this area, offering at least six different types of action for their clients to spread to players. Before going into more details, let’s take a look at what they have to offer:

Roulette
Blackjack
Baccarat
Casino Hold’em
Three Card Poker
Caribbean Stud Poker
Roulette has long been a live gaming favorite, and Evolution offers a variety of different types of solutions for gambling sites. Of course, there are standard versions that include a number of useful and fun features: a history of numbers that have won displayed on screen, chat for players and dealers, and multiple camera experiences in their Immersive Roulette format, which allows players to see every inch of the action in high definition video, complete with slow motion replays of the ball coming to a stop.

But the options here go far beyond standard tables. There is a double ball roulette option in which two balls are released on every spin, allowing for even bigger payouts. Dual Play Roulette is an interesting variant that can allow online players and live players to participate together in the same games simultaneously. Meanwhile, the Slingshot Auto Roulette game allows for faster action, as while it still uses a real wheel to generate results, the equipment is automated so that it can run 24 hours a day.

The live blackjack tables feature seven seats per table, but that doesn’t actually limit the number of people who can play. Just as at many live resorts, additional players are allowed to “bet behind” the people who have seats, wagering on the outcome of the player’s hand along with them. The tables also feature side bets (typically Perfect Pairs and 21+3), while a Blackjack Party option allows for a much more casual atmosphere thanks to the low stakes that are spread and presenters that focus on making sure that the entire table is having a good time.

Baccarat is often a game that suffers a bit in live dealer formats, as it is hard to recreate the atmosphere that makes this game so special in a real brick-and-mortar venue. However, a multi-camera version of the game is spread by Evolution, which has the effect of adding extra suspense to each hand and making the game feel much more like the real thing. One version even offers a “squeeze,” with the hand where bettors have put most of the money on is slowly revealed in order to provide maximum drama.

Beyond the “big three”, the other games also feature authentic action presented by professional, well-trained dealers. Casino Hold’em is a table game version of the popular Texas Hold’em, only with players competing against the dealer rather than other players at the table. Three Card Poker is the officially licensed version of the game, and includes a six-card bonus bet that offers up to 1,000-1 payouts. Finally, Caribbean Stud Poker – an exclusive for Evolution, and once again the fully licensed version of the game – comes with the 5+1 Bonus Bet, though it does not include the popular progressive jackpot side bet (which, admittedly, would be difficult to implement in a live dealer setting).
