Slots vs. Live Dealer: What's the Difference?

Slots and live-dealer tables are built around different mechanics, and knowing the difference helps you pick the format that actually suits how you want to play.

Slots run on a random number generator (RNG) with a published return-to-player (RTP) percentage — a long-run average, not a per-spin guarantee. Rounds are fast, stakes are flexible, and outcomes are independent of any previous spin.

Live-dealer games stream a real dealer running a real table — blackjack, roulette, baccarat and similar formats — with rules much closer to a physical casino. Rounds take longer, and there's a social, real-time element slots don't have.

If you want quick, low-stakes sessions with a wide variety of themes, slots are the simpler entry point. If you want table-game rules and a real dealer, look specifically for the live-casino section rather than the slots catalog.
