Live Casino Ireland

Are you enjoying casino games and seeking to take things to the next level? Then you’ve come to the right place. Live Casinos put a fun spin on everything you love about land-based casinos. With the combination of avant-garde software, sophisticated studios, live dealers and HD streaming, Irish players will feel like they’re right in the heart of an actual casino. Try your hand at some of the best Live Casino games in the industry, hosted by leading players like Evolution and LiveG24, all at EnergyCasino. If you have not yet dabbled in Live Casino games, sit tight as we take you through the fascinating world of Live Casino games.

How Does Live Casino Work?

While with a few differences, Live Casinos and land-based casinos work in similar ways. Live Casino tables are streamed live, which is what allows you to enjoy these games from the comfort of your own home. With cutting-edge tech, including multiple camera angles and interactive features, Live Casinos perfectly recreate an all-rounded casino experience. One of the main benefits of playing at a Live Casino is that, apart from classics like roulette, baccarat, poker and blackjack, providers take things a step further to offer incredible variants with additional features and all-new gameplay. The only way is up from here, as Live Casinos will continue to evolve and change to provide the most immersive experience they can. In fact, we are likely to see VR technology hitting the market soon enough.

With all that said, it is important to take a couple things into consideration before you begin playing. For an optimum experience, make sure you have a stable internet connection. Most Live Casino games require you to make quick decisions, as players have a limited time frame to make a move. For all the novice players out there, you do not need to purchase chips before you enter the Live Casino. These games make use of virtual chips to place bets instead, which you will find on the game’s user interface.

Best Live Casino Games

At EnergyCasino, Irish players can expect to find a vast selection of Live Casino games to play, each with their own unique gameplay and features. With that in mind, here is a general list of games you may expect to come across on your Live Casino adventure:

• Live Poker

• Live Blackjack

• Live Baccarat

• Live Roulette

• Craps

• Live Game Shows (e.g. Monopoly Live)

At EnergyCasino, we are constantly on the prowl for new Live Casino games to add to our portfolio. The creativity of developers has no bounds, as they continue to one-up themselves with brand-new features and totally spectacular gameplay. So, if you don’t see anything that piques your interest, keep checking back in! Love NetEnt Live Casino games as much as we do? This colossal industry player was acquired by Evolution in 2020, so NetEnt studios now operate under Evolution. Here are some top-notch games Irish players will be able to enjoy:

Live Poker

When it comes to top casino games, we obviously had to add live poker to the list. Poker is the primary game choice for many online gamblers. While it is pretty straightforward to understand, Poker is not just a game of luck, but also a game of skill. To put it simply, the aim of the game is to try and obtain the best poker hand at the table and trump the hands of your opponents. The kicker is that your bankroll must be managed appropriately in every betting round, or you might risk losing it all. Poker is loved by players from all over the world, and with such increasing popularity it's no wonder that developers have created fun variations of the game. Here are a few of our favourites:

• Five Card Draw – Five Card Draw is an ode to the classic poker game we all know and love. The goal is to form the best five-card hand. In this game, players are allowed to draw and replace old cards with new ones to try and obtain a stronger hand. There are two betting rounds, before and after the exchange of cards. If we had to rank them in ascending order, the poker hands included in this game are: high card, one pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush and royal flush.

• Three Card Poker – Three Card Poker is a simplified version of poker that's perfect for those still kicking off their online gaming journey. Similar to Five Card Draw, the aim is to form the best three-card hand possible. Because you are forming such a small hand, players tend to go through Three Card Poker rounds pretty quickly, so it is the perfect combination of simplicity and fast gameplay. There are fewer poker hands in this game, which include: high card, one pair, flush, straight, three of a kind and straight flush (ranked in ascending order).

• Texas Hold’em Poker – Texas hold’em is undoubtedly one of the most played poker games in poker history. It stems from Seven Card Stud as it requires players to form a hand from two hole cards and five community cards. This poker variant can be quite complex, as there are four betting rounds featured in this game.

Irish players may be able to participate in Live Casino poker tournaments as well, but these may come with varied betting rules. In most cases, there is a limit to the number of wagers a player can place during each betting round. These are known as limit games. No limit games, though, allow players to raise their bets by the same value of the big blind, upwards. With that in mind, all these poker variants do come with their own set of rules and features, so it is important to check out the rules of the game before you play.

Live Dealer Blackjack

Blackjack is perfect for audacious Irish players looking for gameplay that’ll constantly keep them on their toes. Go up against the house and try your luck to form a hand with a value as close to 21 as possible, without surpassing it, during which time players have the ability to either hit, split or double down. If your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s, then you win the round and start again. However, if you exceed 21, you automatically lose (bust).

Live blackjack is one of EnergyCasino’s top-rated games. Like live poker, there are a multitude of live blackjack variants featuring intriguing features like the ability to triple AND quadruple down! You’ll find only the best of the best at EnergyCasino. Here are some of our recommendations to get you started:

• Power Blackjack — Power Blackjack is a spunky blackjack variant featuring additional rules that elevate blackjack gameplay. When playing this game, players have the option to double down, triple down and even quadruple down! The game is played with an eight-deck shoe, but eights and nines are removed, allowing players to form new strategies. With such great gameplay, you definitely won’t regret giving this game a whirl.

• Infinite Blackjack — This phenomenal blackjack variant is a low-bet version of blackjack. While the gameplay is pretty standard, it also features four hair-raising side bets that take your gameplay to the next level. Take Infinite Blackjack for a spin for a chance to earn amazing payouts. With an infinite amount of surprises, who knows what’s in store!

• Free Bet Blackjack — Free Bet Blackjack allows players to double down and split for free, in certain circumstances. The Six Card Charlie rule is in play and all bets will push if the dealer busts with a score of 22. For anyone looking to play a more unconventional version of blackjack, then Free Bet is the way to go.

Blackjack variants come in all shapes and sizes, so you’re likely to find at least one that you enjoy. One of the good things about playing at Live Casinos is that if you are a little shaky with how the game works, you can always sit back and observe the round without losing your seat at the table.

Live Baccarat

With all this talk about gripping gameplay, we absolutely had to mention baccarat. This intriguing game allows you to bet on three outcomes: the Player hand, the Banker hand or a Tie. Bet on the hand that has a value as close nine as possible in each swift round, while testing out some strategies. For a truly electrifying experience, we highly recommend trying out Lightning Baccarat — one of our all-time favourites!

Live Roulette

Last, but certainly not least, we have live roulette. Roulette made its debut in the 18th century by accident, thanks to a French physicist. While it travelled across the world, evolving and changing along the way, it first hit casinos in the mid-19th century. Essentially, roulette involves a spinning wheel with alternating coloured pockets. The aim is to successfully predict which numbered pocket the ball will land on. That being said, different roulette variants come with varied features and even different roulette wheels. Let’s take a look:

• European Roulette – European roulette has one of the most common roulette wheels you will come across. This classic game features a total of 37 numbered pockets ranging from one to 36, as well as a green zero pocket. Players can place all sorts of bets like Inside and Outside bets, along with a myriad of others. Play against the odds for a chance to win!

• American Roulette – When roulette landed on American shores, it quickly gained popularity and American casinos sought out a way to increase the house edge. They accomplished this by adding an additional pocket, the double zero (00), and upped the edge from 2.70% to 5.26%. While the house advantage may put you off, roulette tables with the American wheel often have lower minimum bets. Playing with smaller stakes allows for better bankroll management and may be more advantageous to the player than playing with higher wagers on the European wheel.

• French Roulette – French roulette is played on the European wheel with a few intriguing twists. While the gameplay, bets, and roulette wheel featured in this game is the same as in its European counterpart, French Roulette includes two additional game rules that make the game more favourable to the player — La Partage and En Prison. This roulette variant is pretty standard and is a good starting point for novice players.

• Lightning Roulette — Roulette just got a whole lot better with this lightning-fast roulette game. At the beginning of each round, players need to place their bets to try and predict where the ball will land. Easy, right? The kicker here is that before the ball is spun, random numbers will be struck by lightning and given win multipliers. If one of these multiplier numbers win, all players who have placed a wager on that number straight up will reap the multiplier rewards.

• Auto Roulette – Auto Roulette does away with live dealers in this speedy game package. If you’re a player who likes to enjoy swift gameplay, then we highly recommend you take a look at Auto Roulette.

• Immersive Roulette – As we’re sure you can guess by its name, Immersive Roulette brings everything you love about roulette right to your doorstep in one immersive bundle. With the use of state-of-the-art technology, multiple camera angles and slow-motion replays, you will never miss out on the action.

You can find all of these amazing roulette tables and more at EnergyCasino! If you’re unsure about how these games work, you can access the rules of the game anytime — even mid-game.

Other Live Casino Games

Besides all these fun-tastic table and card games, interestingly enough, the variety of authentic Live Casino online games doesn’t end there. Live game shows are also games to look out for on your casino gaming voyages. The majority of the time, these games are based off of TV game shows, like Deal or No Deal. These games are totally unique to Live Casinos, as they are practically impossible to recreate in their brick-and-mortar counterparts. Apart from their already very appealing gameplay, live game shows also offer vibrant visuals, stunning studios and lively game show hosts that you can interact with. The popularity of these game shows continues to soar to the skies with every release, so you’re very likely to come across a selection of games that you will enjoy. If this sounds like fun, head to our Live Casino and try out:

• Crazy Time

• Deal or No Deal

• Monopoly Live

• Mega Ball

How Are Tables In Online Live Casinos Different?

The aim of Live Casinos is to take every single aspect of playing at land-based casinos and offer something even better. So, while they do work in very similar ways — offering classic table and card games — Live Casinos have the luxury of digital technology on their side, which allows providers to push the boundaries of creativity. Let’s take a look at some of the key differences between them:

Wagers – The wagers Irish players can set depend on the Live Casino game they play. Some may start with a minimum wager of €0.10 (or currency equivalent), while others may begin with €1. With varied minimum bet values, Irish players can choose a game that suits their bankroll best. Maximum bet limits also come into play here, varying from one table to another. If you you are interested in employing a betting progression strategy, then pay close attention to the table limits.

Rules – Online gameplay goes hand in hand with innovation, so it comes as no surprise that Live Casino games offer different rules of play, new side bets and bonus bets. Whether you’re a newcomer or not, it is crucial that you read through the rules of the game to make sure that you soak in all the details.

Additional features – As we’ve mentioned before, Live Casinos have the luxury of digital technology on their side, that allows them to incorporate all-new, engaging and interactive features that simply cannot be replicated by land-based casinos. One particular feature is the Live Chat function that allows you to interact with both the live dealer and other players! Betting history and game rules are also easily accessible. This contrasts land-based casinos as you would be expected to keep track of your own stats, and risk losing your seat if you get up!

What Are The Advantages Of Playing At A Live Casino Online?

Apart from the wide variety of games available right now, along with the games still in the works, there’s no denying that playing at Live Casinos comes with multiple benefits that one simply can’t ignore. To put these under the magnifying glass:
