How Live Casino Studios Actually Work

Live casino games stream a real table from a studio, but the important machinery is not the camera.

Physical outcomes — card values, wheel positions — are captured by optical character recognition and sensors, then fed into a game engine that settles bets, manages the round timer and records the result. The video is the presentation layer; the engine is the system of record.

That distinction explains most live casino disputes. If the stream freezes, the round still resolves on the engine, and the result stands. It also explains why a disconnected player's bet is settled rather than voided.

Studios operating in regulated markets are licensed and audited like any other supplier, and dealer procedures such as misdeal handling are defined in published game rules worth reading once.
