For many, a live casino is typically associated with hours at the virtual poker table or spinning the roulette wheel. Yes, they’re classics. But they aren’t the only live dealer games you can enjoy!

1. Craps and Dragon Tiger

Okay, these are two games but the mechanics is a bit the same so let’s review them together. You can find both (as well as all the games reviewed below) at Playfina and play them for free for quite a long time. The casino gives you free cash with your first four deposits.

• Craps

In the live dealer version, you place your bets, the dice are tossed, and for a moment, everything hangs in the balance. It’s simple to learn but offers layers of excitement (and, often, good wins).

• Dragon Tiger

In a way, Dragon Tiger can be viewed as a high-speed version of baccarat. You have two options: Dragon or Tiger. The dealer deals one card to each, and the higher card wins. That’s it! It’s perfect when you want quick rounds with instant results.

2. Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt Live

Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt Live is based on the popular slot game. Here, too, you join Gonzo, the quirky explorer, in searching for hidden treasures on a giant wall filled with stones. You pick your stones, and then the suspense builds as the wall reveals multipliers and prizes. It’s interactive, immersive, and feels more like a game show than a traditional casino game.

3. Deal or No Deal Live

Remember the TV show where contestants weigh offers against potential bigger wins hidden in briefcases? This is available in casinos now. In Deal or No Deal Live, you start by spinning a wheel to qualify. Then, you fill briefcases with cash prizes. The live host keeps the energy high as you decide whether to take the banker’s offer or keep going for that big prize. It’s pretty nerve-wracking and amusing at the same time.

4. Dream Catcher

Now, try to picture a giant, colorful wheel spinning under bright lights, with a lively host cheering you on. That’s Dream Catcher. It’s incredibly easy to play — you just bet on the number you think the wheel will stop on. But there are also multipliers! If the wheel lands on a multiplier segment, all bets stay, and the wheel spins again.

5. Crazy Time

Crazy Time is largely similar to Dream Catcher. It features a big wheel with four bonus games:

• Coin Flip
• Cash Hunt
• Pachinko
• Crazy Time.

Each bonus round is interactive and packed with entertainment. One moment you’re flipping a coin for multipliers, the next you’re in a shooting gallery hunting for cash prizes. The hosts are energetic, the graphics are vibrant, and every spin feels like being on a game show.

6. Monopoly Live

Monopoly is incredibly addictive as a board game and so it is as a live casino title. You start with a wheel similar to Dream Catcher, but the real magic happens when you enter the bonus game. Mr. Monopoly himself guides you through a 3D virtual world where you roll dice and collect prizes. The familiar properties, Chance and Community Chest cards, and even jail —all elements are there.

7. Funky Time Live

Funky Time Live combines elements of slot machines and wheel games, set in a vibrant studio with disco vibes. You place your bets, and the live host spins the wheel. There are bonus games like Disco Bonus and Stayin’ Alive. These offer big multipliers and also get you grooving to the beat. It’s a party and a casino game rolled into one.

Wrapping Up

As you’ve seen, the choice is pretty rich! If you are planning to try one of these, here are a few things to remember about live dealer games:

• They aren’t available in free demo mode (that’s because of the studios, dealers, and streaming);
• Some casinos have special live games bonuses (usually, it’s cashback, free cash, and free entry to tournaments);
• You’ll chat with dealers and other players (that’s right, small talk is what sets these games apart from other casino titles);
• Tables operate around the clock in different languages (top online casinos do their best to be as inclusive as possible);
• You may find some advanced betting features in such games (e.g., you can usually save your favorite bets, plus there are sometimes multi-games).
