As one of the oldest and most experienced software developers in the industry, we expect nothing but the best from Microgaming. Their live dealer roulette catalogue is top-notch and suits all types of players – including those looking for a little eye-candy while playing for real money online.

Microgaming live dealer games
Live dealer games involve real human dealers set up in either a casino or a studio, recorded in real time and streamed directly to the screen of players who are logged in and have made a deposit. Microgaming have created their own private gaming studios for their live dealers – featuring real tables who spin real wheels, or deal real cards).
Players can view the direct feed of the dealer, who performs the actions of the game, as well as an animated table where players can choose the chip size and place their bet via a click of the mouse. Microgaming offer the standard live dealer catalogue including:
- Live Dealer Roulette – tables featuring betting limits from $1 to $25, $2 to $50, and $5 to $100
- Live Dealer Blackjack – tables featuring betting limits from $25 to $300
- Live baccarat – tables with betting limits of 10 to 100, 30 to 300 and 5 to 500
- Live Dealer Baccarat – tables featuring betting limits from $10 to $100, $30 to $300 and $50 to $500
- Live Dealer Casino Hold’em – tables featuring betting limits from $10 to $100, $30 to $300 and $50 to $500
Casino Hold’em is one of the more recent additions to the Microgaming live dealer catalogue and has been well received since there are no live dealer lottery or keno options, which other providers offer (Ezugi).
Additionally, players can opt for Single Player or Multiplayer variants of the available titles.
While this catalogue may sound similar to what other providers offer, there is actually one feature which makes the title stand out from others – Microgaming offers the option for players to choose how their croupiers are dressed.
Playboy bunny live dealer
Microgaming have always been quite innovative and as such they have the option for players to choose if they want to sit at a table with a traditionally dressed croupier or a dealer dressed as a Playboy Bunny.
If you know anything about Playboy you’ll know the outfits are quite racy and the dealers are dressed from head to toe in the costume – ears and all. They are all quite attractive and really spice up the gaming ambience.
Playboy dealers are available for live dealer roulette, as well as blackjack and baccarat, but unfortunately at the time of writing they aren’t for Casino Hold’em.
You can access all titles with Playboy Bunny dealers by clicking on the Playboy symbol in the live dealer lobby.
Download or instant play live dealer titles
Since Microgaming still offers a downloadable casino, players can either install the casino software and access the live dealer catalogue this way, or play through their web browser (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc.) via the instant play version.
The downloadable casino is only compatible with PC users who have enough storage space, while the instant play version is compatible with most devices, including Macs and those who don’t have much room on their device’s disk.
Both versions offer the live dealer casino, but we recommend only playing at reputable Microgaming casinos such as the one we list below to ensure you’re not leaving yourself open to being scammed.
Other Microgaming live dealer features
While the ability to customise your live dealer casino experience with how the dealers are dressed is impressive, there are other features you can take advantage of.
Video viewing: You can detach the video of the dealer and enlarge it, as well as opt for ‘Casino view’ (view as though you are seated at an actual table) or Game view’ (view as though you are playing a standard title but with the video of the dealer included).
Bet Behind: Sometimes it can be hard to get a seat, similar at an actual casino, but there is the option to bet behind. This involves betting on a seated player’s hand and you can opt to do this even if there are available seats.
Play multiple games at once: Once you have entered a game you can click on the ‘Add Tables’ option and you will be able to open up another game to play at the same time – a feature you won’t find anywhere but on Microgaming titles.
Drawbacks
Unfortunately, there are a few drawbacks to Microgaming live dealer titles.
No live dealer chat box: What makes a live dealer title so unique is it creates the social ambience online gaming has removed. Most software providers increase this by integrating a chat box where players can type and talk to each other, and even chat to the dealer, who will respond verbally. Microgaming, unfortunately have chosen not to include this, which is a let down.
No free play: Sometimes we need free play mode to get the hang of the games before we place real money wagers, but unfortunately there is no free play mode available here. This isn’t Microgaming exclusive however, all live dealer titles regardless the software provider require players to be logged in and have a funded account to play.
