What is Live Poker?

Live poker happens in real-time. Once you join a table, a real-life dealer will take your bets, deal your cards and deal the community cards. All the action happens live either from a casino studio or live from a real-life casino.

You can even view the action through multiple camera angles to feel just like you’re sitting at the table. Plus, you can engage with the dealer and the other players through the Live Chat, and you’ll have all the essential stats at your fingertips through our intuitive gaming interface.

How Live Poker Works

Live poker all happens live in real time. With our live poker games, all the action will be streamed to your chosen device in HD. You can play on your smartphone or tablet, through our Grosvenor live app.

The real-life dealer will deal your hand and take the bets at the table. Depending on the poker variant you choose, they will deal the community cards in variants like Texas Hold’em or play against you in versions like 3 Card Poker.

You’ll find a user-friendly interface that has all the info to hand, so you can easily see your hand and know when it’s time to make a bet.

Dealer & Table Experience

Whether you’re playing in a live poker event or at one of our poker tables in our live casino, the dealer will always be a real person. They are professional croupiers with decades of experience, and are all at the top of the game. In our poker tournaments, some of the dealers will be amongst the best in the world. It’s up to them to deal the cards and keep the game moving.

When playing online, the table experience ensures you feel just like you’re sitting at the table in real life. You can watch the action from multiple camera angles to get as close as possible, and you can engage with the dealer and sometimes the other players through the Live Chat function.

Game Flow & Bets

Depending on the variation of poker you’re playing, each game will have a slightly different flow. Texas Hold’em for example, works like this:

• The players are each dealt two face-down cards, called the hole cards.
• A betting round follows, called the pre-flop.
• Three community cards are dealt, with another betting round called the flop.
• A fourth community card is dealt, with another betting round following. This is called the turn.
• The fifth and final community card is dealt, with a final betting round happening after this. This is called the river.
• Once all bets have been placed, the players reveal their hands.
• The player with the strongest hand wins the pot.

Live Poker Variations

At Grosvenor Casino, you’ll find a range of live poker variations across the tables in our live casino and our casino tournaments and events, which include:

• Texas Hold’em
• Omaha
• 3 Card Poker
• 7-Stud Poker

Strategies & Tips

When you first play live poker, it helps to:

• Understand the poker variant you’re playing: Whether Texas Hold’em or Omaha, make sure you understand the rules exactly, how the game works and when you need to bet.
• Fold when you’re unsure: If you’re unsure whether to call or fold, often it’s better to fold. Yes, you’ll lose your bet, but it’s important to know when to admit you’re beaten.
• Make good decisions, and the results will follow: All players will have losing sessions, that’s the nature of poker. So you shouldn’t expect to win every time. If you make the best possible play each time you play, the results will naturally follow.
• Get up to date on the lingo: As well as understanding all of the rules of your chosen poker variant, the language of poker is key too. Learn what the key phrases mean, so you don’t feel lost at the table.
• Adopt a consistent strategy: Each time you play poker, it’s key to keep to the same strategy. If you suddenly keep mixing things up, you won’t build the consistency into your game – which is essential for good poker play.
• Gamble responsibly: Every time you play poker with us, make sure gamble responsibly. This includes setting a bankroll and sticking to it, not betting more than you can afford, and knowing when to take a break from gambling.

This is all essential when first starting out at poker. Once you become a more advanced player and consider entering poker tournaments, you can bring more advanced strategies into your game.

FAQs

What is the difference between online poker and live poker?

Online poker – also sometimes called video poker – is an online poker version that uses a Random Number Generator (RNG) to determine the outcome of each hand. This is a computer system that uses a complex algorithm to keep every hand completely random and fair.

Live poker, on the other hand, is played live in real time. The cards are dealt and the bets taken by a real-life dealer. All the action is streamed live to your chosen device in HD, whether you’re playing at a table in our live casino or attempting to qualify for a live poker tournament.

What are some of the top live poker tournaments at Grosvenor?
