NinoGaming Live Casino: Dealers, Studios and the Rules Behind Each Table
A live casino streams a real dealer, wheel or dice shaker from a studio to your screen, while the operator you log in to holds your balance and takes your bets.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| NinoGaming Crazy Time | Crazy Time is Evolution's live game show: a host spins a 54-segment money wheel while a two-reel Top Slot adds a random multiplier to one bet spot. |
| NinoGaming Sic Bo | Sic bo is played with three dice. |
| NinoGaming Dragon Tiger | In dragon tiger the dealer turns one card for Dragon and one for Tiger, and the higher card wins. |
| NinoGaming Live Baccarat | In live baccarat you bet on the Player hand, the Banker hand or a Tie. |
A live casino is a real table, filmed in a studio and streamed to your phone, with your bets placed through whichever operator you logged in to. This page explains how that split works, which studio publishes what, and where the rules and house edge for each game come from.
Every game on this page is explained straight from its studio’s published rules, so each guide holds at any live table you sit down at, including the tables under NinoGaming’s Live Feed tab.
What a live casino is, and who runs which part
Two businesses sit behind every live table. The studio films the dealer, runs the cards, dice or wheel, and writes the rules you see in the help screen. The operator runs the account, the cashier and the licence you depend on if something goes wrong.
| Part of the table | Who runs it | Where you can check it |
|---|---|---|
| Dealer, cards, dice, wheel | The studio (for example Evolution) | The studio’s game rules, shown in the table’s help screen |
| Game rules and RTP | The studio | The same help screen |
| Your balance, deposits, withdrawals | The operator | The operator’s cashier and terms |
| Bet limits at a given table | The operator’s configuration of the studio’s game | The table’s Bet Limits panel |
| Licence to take your bets | The operator | PAGCOR’s own list, not the operator’s footer |
That split is why a studio’s good record says little about the site you play on. Evolution holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence, MGA/CRP/187/2010, as a B2B supplier. That covers the company that makes the game, not the casino that offers it.
How a live dealer casino round works
Every live game on this page follows the same basic loop. The details differ, but the order does not.
- Betting time opens. A countdown runs on screen and you place chips on the bet spots.
- Betting closes. Evolution’s Crazy Time rules warn that minimising the browser or opening another tab while bets are on the table may be read as leaving the game, and those bets can be declined.
- The dealer plays the round. Cards are dealt, dice are shaken or the wheel is spun, on camera.
- The result is read and settled. Winning bets are paid at the table’s published odds; the stake on a winning bet is returned on top.
- The round is logged. Each round carries a game number, which Evolution’s rules tell you to quote to customer service if you dispute a result.
The four live casino games covered here
The house edge is the share of each bet the game keeps over the long run. It comes from the payouts, not the dealer, so it can be published and checked. The figures below come from Evolution’s own rules for Crazy Time and from Wizard of Odds’ published analysis for the three card and dice games.
| Game | What decides the round | Best-returning bet | Published figure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crazy Time | A 54-segment money wheel plus a Top Slot multiplier | Number 1 | 96.08% RTP |
| Baccarat (8 decks) | Two hands, closest to 9 wins | Banker, 5% commission | 1.06% house edge |
| Sic bo (Macau paytable) | Three dice | Big or Small | 2.78% house edge |
| Dragon tiger (8 decks) | One card each, higher card wins | Dragon or Tiger | 3.73% house edge |
Two figures are RTP and two are house edge. They measure the same thing from opposite ends: a 96.08% RTP is a 3.92% edge.
Each game has its own page. How Crazy Time pays, bonus by bonus covers the wheel and its four bonus rounds. Live baccarat draw rules covers card values and the third-card table. The dice game is ranked bet by bet on the sic bo house edge list, and the one-card game is on the dragon tiger tie rule page.
Why paytables differ between tables
The same game name can carry a different paytable. Wizard of Odds records sic bo totals of 4 and 17 paying 50 to 1 on the Macau table and 60 to 1 in Atlantic City, and a baccarat Tie that pays 9 to 1 at some casinos instead of 8 to 1. The table’s own help screen is the only paytable that applies to your bet.
Evolution casino studios and what Evolution publishes
Evolution makes live dealer games and live game shows, including Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette and Monopoly Live. It is the studio behind Crazy Time, the highest-volume live game in this site’s keyword research at 14,800 searches a month.
The company publishes its rules and return figures inside each game’s help screen. Its public game pages were region-blocked when this site was researched, so the Crazy Time figures here come from Evolution’s rules document as republished by Loto-Québec, a government lottery operator. The Evolution studio record lists its licences in full, including a UK Gambling Commission settlement in July 2026.
For the other studios whose games reach Philippine lobbies, the game providers directory sets out what each one publishes and what it does not.
Live casino Philippines: who licenses what
PAGCOR licenses operators, and separately approves game content. Evolution appears on a PAGCOR EGLD approved live-dealer list, which means PAGCOR has approved its live games for use by operators it licenses. That listing is not an operator licence and says nothing about any particular site.
Evolution also opened its first Asian live-casino studio in Cebu in 2025 with the local partner One Visaya Gaming. OVG’s own PAGCOR B2C licence was revoked in August 2025; the Cebu studio continues streaming to operators under a separate B2B licence.
To check the operator rather than the studio:
- Find the operator’s exact company name in its terms or footer.
- Search for that name on PAGCOR’s own site, following the PAGCOR license check steps for operators.
- Compare what you find with what PAGCOR license games approval does and does not cover.
The wider picture of what a licence guarantees is on the PAGCOR license explainer. Whether this particular operator passes that test is covered on the NinoGaming legit check.
Problems and fixes at a live table
These come from Evolution’s published Crazy Time rules. Other Evolution tables carry their own help screens, so read the one at your table.
My connection dropped in the middle of a round.
Per Evolution’s rules, bets already placed stay valid and are settled in your absence. When you reconnect, open the History window to see the outcome.
My bet was declined even though I placed it in time.
Switching tabs or minimising the browser while betting time is open can be treated as leaving the game. Keep the table in the foreground until betting closes.
The dealer stopped the round because something went wrong.
Evolution’s rules say the round is paused while a shift manager is called. If it cannot be resolved immediately, the round is cancelled and initial bets are refunded; a malfunction voids the round and its payouts.
I want to dispute a result.
Note the round’s game number, which is timestamped in GMT, or screenshot it. Give that number to the operator’s support, since the operator holds your account, not the studio.
Setting limits before you sit down
Live rounds run back to back, and Evolution’s rules include an Autoplay option that repeats a bet for a chosen number of rounds. Losses can build faster than the pace of one round suggests.
- Decide a session budget before you open the lobby.
- Use the operator’s own deposit limits if it offers them.
- If you want to stop entirely, PAGCOR runs a self-exclusion programme with periods of 6 months, 1 year or 5 years, set out on the PAGCOR self-exclusion periods page.
The responsible gaming help page lists the help lines this site could source. Live tables are not the only fast format either: the fishing game overview covers arcade-style games where every shot is a bet.

FAQ
What is a live casino?
A live casino is a table game or game show run by a human dealer in a studio and streamed to players, who bet through an operator's site or app. The studio runs the game; the operator holds the money.
Is a live dealer casino rigged?
The outcome comes from physical cards, dice or a wheel on camera, plus random multipliers in some game shows. The house edge is built into the payouts and is published. Check that the operator holds a licence you can verify on pagcor.ph.
Is Evolution casino licensed in the Philippines?
Evolution is a studio, not a casino. A PAGCOR EGLD approved live-dealer list exists for Evolution, which approves its games for PAGCOR-licensed operators. It is not an operator licence.
Does NinoGaming have live casino games?
Open the Live Feed tab in the NinoGaming lobby after you log in. Each table shows its studio name, so you can match it to the game guides here before you bet.
Which live casino game has the lowest house edge?
Of the four covered here, the Banker bet in baccarat, at 1.06% with eight decks per Wizard of Odds. Big and Small in sic bo sit at 2.78% on the Macau paytable.
What happens if my connection drops during a live round?
Evolution's published Crazy Time rules say bets placed before a disconnection stay valid and are settled in your absence. You can see the outcome in the game's History window when you reconnect.
