Casino Software
Most of the online casinos use 3rd party casino software and services to deliver their live blackjack solutions. There are many options available to the casinos and you can see just how they have chosen to apply them in the reviews I’ve written on this website. For example, they can take a generic service where they share the tables with other casinos and don’t have branded cards or chips, which is cheaper than something more personalised, where the studio is heavily branded and they have dedicated tables and dealers.
There are a handful of casino software suppliers and they are all vying for the top slot. There are the older more established companies, such as Microgaming and Playtech who both have great reputations and a large client base, to the newer kids on the block such as Evolution Gaming , who are pushing the boundaries of the development of live casino solutions.
I’ve produced this quick run down of the major players in the marketplace, giving some basic corporate information that has been lifted unashamedly from their websites. Well saves you looking! I’ve then provided more specific information regarding their live dealer solutions. You will find that all of the casino software companies are used by at least one online casino that is listed here on Live Black Jack Sites.
It’s quite common that more experienced players have favourite suppliers and like to play at casinos where their software is being used. So I have provided a link under each profile that will display the casinos using that software.
Casino Software Companies
Microgaming
Microgaming created the first online Casino over 15 years ago and since then have developed over 600 games. Over 120 online casinos and 40 poker rooms, across online, land-based, and mobile platforms and in 24 different languages use Microgaming software.

They were a founding member of eCOGRA and IGC, regulatory bodies that support fair gaming, responsible operator conduct and player protection.
Their live dealer casino product offers high definition video streaming with stand alone multi-window games and a multi-language facility. As you would expect real cards are shuffled and dealt by real live dealers. Microgaming have also recently launched the first branded live dealer casino, “Playboy Live Dealer”, which is proving to be very popular.
Across both products they offer three games.
- Baccarat & Multi-player Baccarat – which includes the ability to make side bets and play at multiple tables.
- Roulette & Multi-player Roulette – they use laser technology to ensure accurate readings and eliminate human error.
- BlackJack – with bet behind, so players can bet while they are waiting to join the table.
The live dealer casino software also offers alerts that notify you when a seat becomes available, auto betting, the ability to play multiple tables and also play other games, such as slots within the same game window.

Amaya Gaming
Amaya Gaming’s first live dealer service was launched in 2001 and since then they have continued to develop their Live dealer solutions. They have a state of the art live dealer studio in Tallinn, Estonia, where they offer BlackJack Roulette and Baccarat. They use local dealers who are trained by croupiers from Macau. The dealing room is run just like an ordinary land based casino, with pit bosses who monitor the dealers and hands being played. Their solution is highly configurable, both on the back end and by the player, so you are always playing with the most optimum playing conditions. In fact I would say this is one of their strengths. The solution is fully mobile, so you can play on your smartphone, tablet, laptop and PC.
