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.
Visionary iGaming is a live dealer supplier known for blackjack, baccarat and roulette streamed from its own studio. What it makes, and how its tables work at Lunaris.

Visionary iGaming is a live dealer supplier that has been building streamed table games since 2008. Its tables are dealt by people in a studio in Costa Rica and broadcast to your browser, and the studio is most associated with its blackjack, including the Early Payout format. At Lunaris its tables sit in the live casino; the grid on this page shows what is live now.
Visionary iGaming is a business-to-business live casino provider, founded in 2008. It does not operate a casino brand of its own. It builds and staffs a live studio, runs the tables and the streaming stack, and licenses those tables to online casino operators, of which Lunaris is one.
The company's live floor is in Costa Rica, which shapes the product in a way worth knowing: table hours, dealer shifts and the mix of games on the floor are built around the Americas rather than around European evening traffic. In practice that means the busiest tables tend to be blackjack and baccarat, and that the floor keeps a range of stakes open across the day.
The division of labour on a live table is the same everywhere. Your account, your balance and your cashier belong to the operator. The table belongs to the studio. The result of a hand comes off a physical card shoe or a physical wheel on the studio floor, filmed and settled by the studio's software, and the same table is broadcast simultaneously to every operator carrying it. That is why the rules of a Visionary iGaming table do not change from one casino to another.
Compared with suppliers that lean into game shows and wheel-based entertainment formats, Visionary iGaming stays close to the classic casino floor: dealt cards, a spinning wheel, and rules a table player already knows. If that is the kind of live casino you want, this is the studio built for it.
The catalogue is built on three games, each offered in several table variants rather than as a single room.
| Table type | How the round works | Related guide |
|---|---|---|
| Live blackjack | You play your hand against the dealer, aiming to finish nearer 21 without busting. Hit, stand, double down and split are on-screen actions, with the cards dealt from a physical shoe | How live blackjack works |
| Live baccarat | You back Player, Banker or Tie and the dealer draws to fixed rules. There are no decisions once the bet is placed, and roadmaps track the shoe for players who follow them | How live baccarat works |
| Live roulette | Chips go on the layout during the betting window, then the dealer spins and releases the ball. European wheels carry 37 pockets; American wheels add a second zero, and the extra pocket raises the house edge | How live roulette works |
Around those, the studio offers the variations that make a live floor usable. Blackjack tables are multi-seat, with a limited number of playing positions and a bet-behind option so more players can back a seated hand than there are chairs. Optional side bets such as Perfect Pairs and 21+3 appear on many blackjack tables. Baccarat is offered in commission and no-commission versions. Roulette varies by wheel type, by stake and by whether a racetrack layout is available for called bets.
Table limits are part of the design. A supplier normally runs the same game across several rooms at different minimums, because one table cannot serve a low-stakes player and a high-stakes player at the same pace. Each table shows its limits before you take a seat and in the information panel once you are in.
The format most associated with Visionary iGaming is Early Payout Blackjack. In a normal hand, you play your cards to the end and win, lose or push. In the Early Payout format, the table offers you a buyout at any point in the hand: a calculated amount you can accept to settle your position immediately instead of playing on. Accepting it ends the hand for you at that value; declining it leaves you playing as usual.
Two things follow from that. First, it changes the rhythm of a session — hands can be closed early, which suits players who dislike sitting on a marginal total against a strong dealer card. Second, it is a decision, not a free option: the buyout figure is calculated from the position you hold, and taking every buyout is a strategy with its own outcome, not a way around the maths of the game. What is house edge sets out how that maths works.
The rest of the rule set is standard casino blackjack, but the details differ table to table: how many decks are in the shoe, whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17, whether doubling after a split is allowed, and which side bets are open. Fewer decks slightly improve the player's odds; multiple decks are common because they limit card counting, which is not effective online in any case. Every table publishes its own rules in the information panel, and reading them before your first hand is the single most useful habit at a live table.
Visionary iGaming tables live in the live casino at Lunaris. The grid above is the current list. You can also browse the live dealer lobby, read the live casino landing page for an overview of the format, or open the full game lobby and use the provider filter. With a library of over 1,000 games from established providers across slots, table games and live dealer games, the provider filter and the lobby search box are the two tools worth learning.
Before you sit down, one rule: Lunaris does not offer bonuses for live casino games. Welcome and reload bonuses are slots offers, and live tables are excluded. If you are carrying a bonus balance with an active wagering requirement, the contribution table decides what a wager is worth against it:
| Game type | Contribution to playthrough |
|---|---|
| Non-progressive slots | 100% |
| Video poker | 20% |
| Blackjack (RNG variations) | 10% |
| Roulette | 10% |
| Live games | 1% |
At 1%, live tables are not a route to clearing playthrough. The clean approach is to keep the two apart: clear a bonus on slots, and play live tables with unrestricted funds. How casino bonuses work and the Lunaris FAQ cover the rest of the conditions.
Live tables draw on the same balance as every other game, so funding a session is a cashier task rather than a provider one. Open the cashier from the wallet icon with the plus symbol at the top right. The deposit tab offers All Methods, Card, Crypto and Alternative.
For crypto, pick BTC, ETH or LTC. The minimum crypto deposit is $20, with no stated maximum. The cashier issues a wallet address for that transaction — a new address is generated for every deposit, so do not reuse an old one — and you can copy it or scan the QR code in your wallet app. Send on the matching network; funds sent over an incompatible network can be lost. Two blockchain confirmations are required before the balance updates, typically a few minutes depending on the coin and network activity.
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal deposits carry a $50 minimum, with a maximum set by your profile limits and shown in the cashier. A first transaction on those methods may require KYC verification, usually around 15 minutes, after which the same method takes a few clicks. Withdrawals go through the Payout tab and are subject to your account's daily, weekly and monthly limits. See payments, withdrawals and the crypto casino guide for the full detail.
Live tables rotate. Studios open and close rooms by demand and by hour, and operators change which of a supplier's tables they carry, so the Visionary iGaming line-up in the lobby will not be identical from one month to the next. The grid on this page is the live list; treat anything written into an article as a snapshot.
A streamed table also asks more of your connection than a slot does, since a dropped stream can cost you a betting window. If a table will not open, check the lobby by provider — it may simply be closed at that time of day. Play at Lunaris requires you to be 21 or over, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction if that is higher.
