Pragmatic Play Live casino games

There are more than 500 games under the Pragmatic Play Live name in the catalogue, and every one of them is a live casino game, streamed in real time from a studio and run by a dealer or presenter. Mega Wheel and Sweet Bonanza Candyland are the player favourites.

On the slots side the Pragmatic Play name has its own page. This one is about the live games: what the range covers, how game shows differ from traditional table games, and what to check before you take a seat.

Pragmatic Play Live in the live casino

The live casino categories – game shows, live roulette, live blackjack and live baccarat – bring tables from several studios together. That makes Pragmatic Play Live easy to compare with, say, Evolution: open the same game type and see which table's limits and atmosphere suit you. There are no bonus buys in live games, and only a couple of Pragmatic Play Live titles carry a jackpot.

Game shows: Mega Wheel and Sweet Bonanza Candyland

Game shows have a lighter feel than a traditional table, with a presenter taking you through each round. Mega Wheel and Sweet Bonanza Candyland are the most played Pragmatic Play Live games; the latter shares its name with Pragmatic Play's Sweet Bonanza slot.

The entertainment has a price. Game show RTPs are often lower than those of roulette or blackjack: Evolution's Crazy Time, for example, returns 96.08%, against 97.30% for European roulette. Check each game show's RTP in its rules before deciding on your stake.

Roulette, blackjack and baccarat at a live table

The maths of the classic table games does not depend on the studio. European roulette has a single zero and a 2.70% house edge; American roulette has two zeros and an edge of about 5.26%. In blackjack, basic strategy keeps the edge small but never removes it. Baccarat's drawing rules are fixed, and the banker bet carries an edge of about 1.06% against roughly 1.24% for the player bet. Side bets and special variants can shift these figures either way, so always read the table rules first.

How to choose a Pragmatic Play Live table

Decide first whether you want a calm table game or a lively game show, then compare the house edge. Next, look at the table limits: the minimum stake determines how many rounds your budget covers. RTP is a long-run average, so the result of a single evening can differ from it considerably. Our guides walk through the rules and numbers step by step.

Frequently asked questions

What is Pragmatic Play Live?

Pragmatic Play Live is a live games studio with more than 500 games in the catalogue. All of them are live casino games, and Mega Wheel and Sweet Bonanza Candyland are the player favourites.

Is Pragmatic Play Live the same as Pragmatic Play?

In the catalogue they are separate studios: Pragmatic Play holds the slots and Pragmatic Play Live the live games, so each has its own page.

Can you buy a bonus in Pragmatic Play Live games?

No. Bonus buy is a slot feature, and none of the Pragmatic Play Live games has it.

Which live game suits a beginner?

Roulette and baccarat have simple rules: in roulette you pick a number or group of numbers, in baccarat the banker, the player or a tie. Blackjack involves more decisions, so it pays to learn basic strategy before you play.
