What Is a Live Dealer Casino?
A live dealer casino streams real tables, real cards and real wheels from a studio in real time. Here is how the video, the equipment and your bets fit together.
Fresh Deck Studios is a live dealer supplier that streams blackjack, roulette and baccarat from staffed studio floors. What it makes, and how its tables work at Lunaris.

Fresh Deck Studios is a live dealer supplier. Instead of software reels, it films human dealers handling real cards and a real roulette wheel in a studio and streams those tables to your browser in real time. At Lunaris its tables sit in the live casino section, and the grid on this page shows which Fresh Deck Studios tables are live right now.
Fresh Deck Studios is a business-to-business live casino provider. It does not run a casino of its own: it builds and staffs the studio floors, employs the dealers, operates the cameras and the table software, and licenses the resulting streams to online casino operators. Lunaris is one of the sites those streams reach.
That split matters when you are playing. The operator handles your account, your cashier and your balance; the studio handles the table. When a card is dealt or a ball drops, the result is produced on a physical table in the studio, not by anything on the operator's side. The same table can be broadcast to several casinos at once, which is why a Fresh Deck Studios table you recognise from elsewhere plays by identical rules here.
The studio is a live-casino specialist rather than a general games developer. Its output is streamed table games, run out of dedicated rooms built for broadcast: multiple camera angles, controlled lighting, card shoes and wheels chosen for how they read on video, and dealers trained to work a table and a chat window at the same time. That focus is the main thing to know about the brand. If you want reels, features and free spins, you are looking for a slot studio; if you want a dealt hand with a person on the other side of it, this is the category Fresh Deck Studios works in.
The catalogue is built on the three table games that carry live casino everywhere: blackjack, roulette and baccarat. Each is offered in several table formats rather than as a single game.
| Table type | How the round works | Related guide |
|---|---|---|
| Live blackjack | You play a hand against the dealer, aiming to finish closer to 21 without going over. Cards come from a physical shoe, and standard actions — hit, stand, double down, split — are buttons on your side of the screen | How live blackjack works |
| Live roulette | You place chips on the layout during the betting window, then the dealer spins the wheel and releases the ball. European wheels carry 37 pockets, American wheels add a second zero | How live roulette works |
| Live baccarat | You back Player, Banker or Tie, and the dealer draws to fixed rules with no decisions to make. Roadmaps track the shoe's history for players who follow it | How live baccarat works |
Around those three, the studio builds the variations that make a live floor feel like a floor. Blackjack tables are typically multi-seat, with a limited number of playing positions and a bet-behind option that lets extra players back a seated hand rather than wait. Side bets such as Perfect Pairs and 21+3 are offered on many blackjack tables as optional wagers alongside the main bet. Baccarat tables come in commission and no-commission versions. Roulette tables differ by wheel type, by minimum stake and by whether a racetrack betting layout is available for called bets.
Bet limits are part of the product too. A live supplier normally runs a spread of tables covering low, medium and higher stakes on the same game, because a single table cannot serve a $1 player and a $500 player at once. The limits for each table are shown before you take a seat and in the table information panel once you are in.
A live round follows a fixed rhythm. A betting window opens and a countdown runs; you place chips using the on-screen layout. The window closes, the dealer acts — deals the cards, or spins the wheel — and the table software reads the physical result and settles every seat automatically. Then the next window opens.
Two pieces of software sit between the dealer and you. One reads the outcome from the table: optical card recognition on the shoe, or a sensor on the roulette wheel that identifies the winning pocket. The other overlays your bets, your balance and the running statistics on the video. You are watching a broadcast, but you are betting through an interface, which is why bets lock the moment the countdown ends rather than when the dealer starts moving.
Most tables carry a chat box and a set of history panels — recent results, hot and cold numbers, roadmaps on baccarat. None of that changes the odds of the next round; the shoe and the wheel have no memory. They exist because live players use them, and because they make it easier to follow a table you have just joined. For the wider mechanics of a streamed table, see what is a live dealer casino.
Fresh Deck Studios tables appear in the live casino at Lunaris. The quickest route is the grid above, which lists what is live at this moment; you can also browse the live dealer lobby, open the live casino landing page for an overview of the format, or start from the full game lobby and filter by provider. Lunaris carries a library of over 1,000 games from established providers across slots, table games and live dealer games, so the provider filter and the lobby search box are the two tools worth learning.
One rule matters more than any other before you sit down: Lunaris does not offer bonuses for live casino games. A welcome or reload bonus is a slots offer, and live tables sit outside it. If you already hold a bonus balance with an active wagering requirement, the contribution table decides how much a wager counts toward that requirement:
| Game type | Contribution to playthrough |
|---|---|
| Non-progressive slots | 100% |
| Video poker | 20% |
| Blackjack (RNG variations) | 10% |
| Roulette | 10% |
| Live games | 1% |
Live games at 1% means a live blackjack table is a poor way to clear a bonus, and that is deliberate. The practical approach is to keep the two separate: clear bonus playthrough on slots, and play live tables with unrestricted funds. The wider rules are covered in how casino bonuses work and in the Lunaris FAQ.
Live tables are funded from the same balance as everything else at Lunaris, so the cashier works the same way whichever provider you play. Open it from the wallet icon with the plus symbol at the top right of the screen. The deposit tab offers All Methods, Card, Crypto and Alternative.
For crypto, choose BTC, ETH or LTC. The minimum crypto deposit is $20 with no stated maximum. The cashier generates a wallet address for the transaction — a new address is issued for every new deposit, so never reuse an old one — and you can copy it or scan the QR code from your wallet app. Send on the matching network: funds sent over an incompatible network can be lost. Lunaris requires two blockchain confirmations before the balance updates, which usually takes a few minutes depending on the coin and on network activity.
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal deposits are also available, with a $50 minimum and a maximum based on your profile limits, which the cashier displays. A first transaction on those methods may require KYC verification, which normally takes around 15 minutes; afterwards the same method takes a few clicks. Withdrawals run through the Payout tab of the same cashier and are subject to your account's daily, weekly and monthly limits. For the full picture, see payments, withdrawals and the crypto casino guide.
Live tables rotate. Studios open and close tables by demand and by time of day, and operators adjust which of a supplier's tables they carry, so the set of Fresh Deck Studios tables in the lobby is not the same from one month to the next. The grid on this page is the current list; anything else is a snapshot that ages.
A live table also needs more from your connection than a slot does, because a dropped stream means a missed betting window. If a table will not load, try the lobby search or the provider filter to check whether it is simply closed at that hour. To play at Lunaris you must be 21 or over, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction if that is higher.
