Live casino, game by game

Live casino is about atmosphere, but also about numbers. Each game has its own house edge and pace. Below we discuss the main live games you may come across at Lucky Boom, with the figures that generally apply to each game type.

The exact edge depends on the table rules, which you'll find in each table's game info.

Roulette: choose the right variant

European roulette has one zero, American roulette two. That extra zero almost doubles the house edge. If you see both variants, the European version is more favourable for the player.

Blackjack: decisions matter

In blackjack you influence the outcome. With basic strategy, a chart giving the mathematically best choice for each hand, you reduce the house edge considerably. According to that strategy, taking insurance is almost never wise.

Baccarat: simple and fast

In baccarat you make no more decisions after placing your bet. The banker bet has the lowest house edge, although a commission is usually taken on banker wins. The tie bet pays a lot, but is statistically expensive.

The live bonus

Lucky Boom's live package gives 100% up to €1,000 with x15 wagering. Ideally combine it with games that count fully under the terms, and keep in mind the house edge of the game you choose.

Game shows: entertainment first

Game shows with a host and a big wheel are spectacular and fast. They're mainly meant as entertainment; the house edge is often higher than at classic table games and differs per segment of the wheel. Preferably play them with small stakes and see them as a night out, not a strategy.

Bankroll per table

A rule of thumb we use: bring a budget of at least twenty times the stake you want to place per round to a live table. That way you can absorb a bad run without having to raise your stake straight away.
