Live Casino game shows

Have you ever wanted to take part in a real game show? Not many of us will be lucky enough to get into the hot seat on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? However, at the LeoVegas online casino, you can take part in live game shows without needing to audition or qualify.

Live casino game shows give players the chance to try something a little different – step away from table games and step up to shows packed with prize opportunities and sensational surprises.

But what do these games actually involve, and how do they work? Below, we break down everything you need to know.

What is a live casino game show?

A live game show is a streamed real dealer game where you can place bets on coin flips, wheel spins and more. It’s a show hosted by a genuine compere, who will take control of the action and make sure that all bets are settled.

Think of it as a bit like an interactive TV show or stream. You’re not just watching the action unfold, but are also actively taking part in deciding how you think things will go. It’s an interactive experience that takes you out of the world of digital slots and tables and into a more immersive way to play.

As you can see from the LeoVegas catalogue, there are plenty of live casino game shows available for you to try. However, they don’t all follow the same rules or formats – meaning that it’s well worth watching a round or two before you get started.

Let’s take a closer look at how two of the main mechanics in live game shows – the coin flip and the wheel spin – work in practice.

Coin flip mechanic

Coin flip games are pretty straightforward. In these shows, players simply need to bet on which side of a coin they think will land face up. In others, there might be a winning or a losing side, or you might unlock a special feature or multiplier by making the correct guess.

Essentially, it’s a 50/50 shot. Given that there are only so many bets and markets available in live casino game shows, this is a creative way to welcome players to interact with real dealer experiences.

One of the biggest and best coin flip games is – funnily enough – Crazy Coin Flip Live. This game show was developed by Evolution, one of the giants in live dealer games in the industry.

In this game, you take part in a live slot – and in the bonus round, there’s a coin flip where a token will land on either red or blue to increase prize multipliers.

Wheel spin mechanic

There are lots of great casino game shows based around the wheel spin mechanic. If you ever watched the classic game show Wheel of Fortune on TV, you’re looking at a pretty similar setup.

This versatile mechanic lets hosts spin a large wheel, and players can usually bet on where the ticker is likely to land. In some cases, where it lands might decide what happens next in a game – for example, will a multiplier be added? Will extra spaces be taken around a game board?

You never truly know what’s going to happen next with a wheel spin game, and classic streams such as Monopoly Live and Travel Fever are some of the best-loved of this type.

What are the most popular live casino games?

Games such as [Live Mega Ball]/game/live-mega-ball) lead the way for lots of players, but others such as [Live Dream Catcher]/game/live-dream-catcher), an Evolution classic, have really set the standard for live game shows across the board.

Many of the most popular live casino game shows are inspired by TV shows and even slots and casino games you’ll find elsewhere in the LeoVegas catalogue. For example, there’s Who Wants To Be a Millionaire Roulette and Gonzo’s Treasure Map, the latter of which is inspired by Gonzo’s Quest, one of the most popular slot games of all time.

How to play a live casino game show

It’s simple to get started playing a live casino game show. Simply load up a game you’d like to play, wait for the next round of bets, and make a choice. The live dealer will talk you through the action and will let you know when bets are open and closed.

However, as you can see, lots of these games have different mechanics and play styles! Therefore, we always recommend that you watch a round or two of a game show before you try one for real. That way, you can get to grips with the rules and play style without making bets.

There are also lots of classic games in this category. For example, you’ll find a range of dice table games, different twists on roulette, and even card games such as blackjack.

Who are the top providers of game shows?

Evolution is easily one of the biggest names in live casino game shows right now – many players feel that this studio changed the game as far as real dealer action is concerned.

However, take a look at our range of games, and you’ll see that we’ve brought together streams from a number of well-loved game show providers.
