Lets seperate these into categories first, of live studio and live real casino (who wants to play a studio anyway!), so the live real casino blackjacks are provided by portomaso casino, vuetec’s dublinbet and the lyvegame platform, each having their own set of rules.

dublinbet’s blackjack early payout : which is basically a studio game even though its dealt in a real casino (nobody can play on the table locally physically) : and it deals each hand to ‘basic strategy’ without any user choice except the option to take a payout at any stage. you might have bet 10, but it will offer you ‘8′ to get out, if the odds are right etc.

portomaso blackjack, broadcast from malta’s portomaso casino, similarly deals to basic strategy but there are no user options at all.. you just bet the hand and wait for the dealer to complete the hand.. cross your fingers : a bit boring and everyone gets the same result. again, like vuetec’s blackjack, there is nobody able to play the table in the casino so it might aswell be a boring studio.

then there is the lyvegame platform blackjack, where the dealer deals to basic strategy, but at each card the player can ’stand’, choose to double (match the bet) or choose to match/leave the bet during a split : and has players locally on the table playing similarly in the real casino all on the same 3 hands.

i personally think the lyvegame rules are the best, allowing the most amount of choice to the player.

This is done by barcoded playing cards, a ’smart’ card shoe and dealer interfaces or lights on the casino table to inform the real live dealer where to put the cards.

The data from these barcodes is then sent to the game server simultaneously for the remote online play, so while you see the video there is also a data stream with the actual real game results, live in real time from a real dealer in a real casino.

It does not affect or change the game, the dealer still deals to local physical players in the casino while serving the live online game.

This is also compatible to playing terminals (pc’s) or gaming machines etc around the casino and in remote locations, aswell as of course playing from home like you can see here.

This has changed the world of Baccarat and Punto Banco forever! You dont need to visit the casino to play for real, and casinos dont need to organise the expensive and time consuming junkets to have their players play at their tables.

There are lots of online operators offering “live online punto banco” however 99% of these are broadcast from a boring (and untrustworthy) studio environment, without any real local players. Whereas dublinbet are broadcast from the fitzwilliam card club and casino in dublin, ireland for REAL. with real dealers, in a real casino and real results from a real table with real players!

there is nothing better!

Here we will list all the sites who offer live punto banco, make reviews on live online punto banco and give you a chance to discuss and give feedback on your experiences playing live online punto banco.
