Live Casino
A live casino table swaps software-generated results for a real dealer working a real table, streamed to your screen from a studio. On a live roulette table specifically, a professional croupier spins an actual wheel and drops an actual ball, and cameras plus tracking software read where it lands and feed that result to every player watching in real time. It’s the closest a screen gets to sitting at a physical table without leaving the house — this page covers how the studios work, what changes about betting windows and limits, and where live differs from an RNG table.
Live vs RNG
Spino runs live tables alongside RNG ones rather than instead of them, and the choice comes down to what you want from a session. Live is the pick when you want a human dealer, a real wheel, and the pace of an actual spin; RNG is the pick when you want a table open at any hour with no wait for a seat and, usually, a lower minimum bet. Both draw from the same account balance and pay out on the same posted odds — our roulette page covers how a standard round runs on either format.
Inside a Live Studio
Live tables are filmed from a small number of fixed camera angles — usually a wide shot of the whole table, a close angle on the wheel itself, and sometimes a top-down view of the betting layout — switched automatically as a round moves from betting to spin to payout. Lighting, felt color and studio branding vary by provider, but the mechanics underneath stay the same wheel, the same layout, and the same odds as any other roulette table you’d sit at.
A studio typically runs several tables at once, often with a handful of variants — standard roulette, a speed variant with a shorter betting window, and occasionally a multiplier-enhanced format — running in parallel. Switching tables mid-session on a live studio usually means switching camera feeds, not switching sites or logging into anything separate.
Betting Windows and How a Spin Is Called
Betting opens the moment the previous round settles and stays open for a fixed window, commonly somewhere in the 15 to 20 second range on a standard table and shorter on speed variants. A visible countdown, or the dealer’s spoken warning, marks the close, followed by the dealer announcing no more bets, after which the interface locks and no further chips can be placed. The wheel and ball are already in motion by that point; the dealer calls the result once the ball settles, and payouts process automatically against the number that landed, exactly as they would at an RNG table.
Table Limits and Chat
Every live table posts its minimum and maximum bet before you join, and that range tends to run higher than an equivalent RNG table, since studio time and dealer attention are shared across everyone seated at the table rather than generated per player on demand. Standard tables often sit at a low single-digit minimum with a several-thousand-dollar cap; VIP or high-limit tables drop the minimum in favor of a much higher ceiling for players staking more per spin.
Most live tables run a chat window alongside the video feed, letting you message the dealer or other players at the table — useful for a quick question about how a specific bet works, though dealers can’t offer betting advice or confirm anything beyond what’s already shown on screen.
Beyond Roulette
Roulette is the anchor of Spino’s live section, but the same studios run live blackjack, baccarat and a rotating set of game-show-style titles on the same balance and login, with no separate account or deposit needed to move between them. For the specifics of how a live roulette round is filmed, tracked and settled, our live dealer roulette page goes deeper than this overview, and our wheel variants page covers exactly which wheel type — European, American or French — you’re looking at once you sit down.
