How to Find the Best Live Roulette Casino for UK Players
Live casino games have never been more popular and it is easy to understand why. Whilst many people enjoy the convenience that comes with playing at online casinos, many miss the thrill, excitement and atmosphere you get playing in a land based casino. This is where live games come into their element. They provide the most authentic real casino playing experience directly from the comfort of your home.
Whilst different casinos provide different games with real dealers, ranging from blackjack to poker, it is undoubtedly live roulette that leads the way for UK players. Given that there is no shortage of online casinos available where you can play roulette against a professional dealer, how are you supposed to know which is the best? Well that is precisely what this post is about. Let me give you a few simple tips to help you identify the best online casino where you can play live roulette.
Interesting Game Variants and Wide Table limits
The best live roulette casinos will offer a rich and diverse selection of tables and betting limits to choose from. They should provide options for all types of players, from beginners and low stakes players, to the most experienced of high rollers. Furthermore, there should be interesting variants of the traditional game included.
Take for instance the award winning Immersive Roulette. This variant features multiple camera angles streamed in HD quality, allowing you to follow every movement of the ball. There are even slow motion shots of the ball as it comes to land on the winning number, really drawing you into the action. Another exciting variant is Live Double Ball Roulette. Played with 2 balls, there are 2 winning numbers on every spin. This opens up interesting new betting options, with payouts of 1300 to 1 available.
Top Live Gaming Providers
Online casinos do not develop and provide live games themselves. Instead, they use the services of software companies that specialise in the development and provision of casino games with real dealers. The provider that an operator choses to supply their live casino product can have a big impact on the overall gaming experience.
Some of the most prestigious providers of live games include Evolution Gaming, Playtech and Extreme Live Gaming. Each has their own unique selection of roulette tables along with other live games. They stream games from bespoke, exclusive studios which have been specifically designed to provide the most engaging playing experience. Some even stream games directly from land based casinos, offering a different kind of experience altogether. You will find some online casinos offer live games exclusively from one provider. Whereas others provide a unique live game selection by offering games from multiple providers.
Bonuses and Promotions for Live Roulette
Whilst many online casinos offer a welcome bonus to thank you for joining, you will find that many of these exclude live games. Therefore, in order to find a top casino for real dealer roulette, it is important to check out which games are included within the welcome bonus. You will also find that some operators provide alternative bonuses specifically for playing live games. Furthermore, the best ones will also provide a varied selection of promotions which are intended specifically for live roulette players to benefit from.
Final Thoughts – Do Your Research!
Keep these factors in mind and you can be sure that you will find a great online casino to play roulette with a real dealer.

Las Vegas. Glamour. Opulence. Hope. Those are usually the associations the name of the world’s most famous desert city gives rise to. But then there’re others… Falsity. Bankruptcy. Disillusionment. And though some might argue – and I’m one of them – that when it comes to casino games, it’s all in the hands of the player, meaning nobody could trick you into playing longer and potentially losing more than what you have set for yourself, you can’t really argue with the facts that Las Vegas and its renowned Strip are based upon and proudly feature a fake image, an empty shell, an imitation. But Las Vegas is, indeed, more than that. It is what postmodern theory would call a simulacrum, because it doesn’t simply copy reality, it copies it and then replaces it with its copy.
For example, I caught an episode of some sitcom on TV a while ago that portrayed a woman who was desperate on her 25th birthday because some ten years earlier her mother had promised to take her to New York, Paris and Venice but then unexpectedly died. The protagonist was heartbroken – not only could she not share this experience with her Mom but she couldn’t afford to visit those places at all. Her friends took her on a road trip to Las Vegas where they helpfully pointed New York, Paris and Venice from the window of her hotel room. Ironically, she accepted the copies for a fair trade-off for the real sights in Europe.
But what about Las Vegas as a Disney World for grown-ups? The parallels are quite a few and easy to spot. I’ve actually divided them into three main groups, so here they are in no particular order.
It’s Out of This World
While the Walt Disney amusement park complex materializes the world a child might want to dwell in, the City of Lights extends the same offer but for adults. The wealth and the glamour, the sex, the drugs, the alcohol, and even the free rides in the form of free drinks, free accommodation, etc. perks – it’s all there for everyone’s taking and it seems so easy to get that it’s too tempting not to do it.
It’s All about Pleasure
Not only kids feel carefree in Disney World. Grown-ups feel as if they’re kids once again. Moreover, anything is possible and everything is centered around getting instant gratification. The same goes for Las Vegas. Forget about making it everywhere if you can make it in New York. Sin City has a much better and way more memorable slogan – What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. That means you’re obliged to have a great time and do whatever you please because you’re surely going to get away with it.
It’s Better than the Real World
Because of everything I’ve mentioned already, Las Vegas seems not just an escape fantasy for a holiday, honeymoon or a couple of days but rather an all-around better version of the real world. There have been many films dedicated to human beings falling prey to their basic instincts and allowing the City of Lights to ruin them. I’m not saying that gambling is bad – not at all – but one should really fight the urge to succumb to this utopia.

In the world today, technology seems to dominate our everyday life. I could give you endless examples but, I believe, it’s unnecessary – just have a look at the many gadgets surrounding you. Have you become a slave to technology? Are you still the master of your life?
We’re practically travelling in space with all the technological advancements. But where does culture fit into this equation? Some might argue that we don’t need it any more. That it’s completely obsolete in a world run by technology.
But the child in me who saw Terminator 2 and violently opposed the grim future would never agree to that. I might have been impressed with the plot of that epic movie because of my tender age but my fair share of reading sci-fi books have backed up the notion that we should never keep our eyes shut to the possibility of a world takeover by machines.
But don’t take it too literally. Maybe you won’t see a company called Skytech. Probably there will be no T-1000. But that doesn’t mean technology will not attempt a takeover… And it might be in the rather unexpected form of a slot machine, for example. Now, if you’re thinking I’d rather throw out my smartphone and delete every last trace of me online, you’re dead wrong. It’s in the exploration of the two worlds colliding that I take interest. We can’t stop the future but we can, I hope, prepare better for it.
That’s why I decided to start a blog. I’d like to explore my thoughts on the matter and share them with you all. So, welcome to my blog and enjoy! I’m not sure where this experiment will take us – but we can’t tell the future, anyway. If you should have any questions or suggestions, drop me a line – I’d love to hear them!
