Live dealer is the most operations-heavy product in gaming. A studio full of croupiers, cameras, lighting, and a rotating schedule — all feeding into a real-time stream your backend has to keep in perfect sync.

Stream quality is trust

Sub-second latency, 1080p at the minimum, with automatic downgrade for weak networks. Players forgive a dropped card once; they don't forgive a stream that buffers mid-hand.

  • WebRTC-based delivery with fallback HLS for older clients
  • Regional CDN pops tuned for video-first traffic
  • Shot-clock sync between stream and game-state WebSocket
  • Graceful degradation — audio-first when video can't keep up

Croupier UX matters too

The staff-facing interface is half your product. Purpose-built tools for dealing, managing disputes, and handling payouts without breaking flow. Train the tool, not around it.

Ops is the product

Schedule management, shift handovers, studio health dashboards — this is where live dealer platforms quietly win or lose. Invest here early.
