Europa Live Dealer Casino has about the best live dealer video presentation available anywhere. The video quality is excellent and the dealers are attractive and friendly. The casino is generous with comps and bonuses and is available in many languages and currencies.

Europa Live Dealer Casino uses live dealer casino software from Playtech, one of the best in the business. This means you can trust them and it also means that they have a huge selection of some of the very best traditional online casino games accessible from the same games lobby as the live dealer casino games.

The dealers at Casino Europa aren’t actually in a casino, they are in a studio in Estonia. But since you can see other dealers and tables in the background it really does feel like you are in a live casino. When you are at a table, you can switch the camera view from a view of your table to a wider view that shows other tables to a view of the secure Shufflers’ Room.

Europa Live Dealer Casino offers three live casino dealer games: Blackjack, Baccarat and Roulette.

There is no free play option at this casino. However, once you have registered an account and made a (minimum $/£/€ 20) deposit you are welcome to just observe at any table until you are ready to sit down and play.

Games screens are very clearly laid out and the game controls are very easy to understand and use. The beautifully designed game looks even better when you switch to full screen mode. You have a choice of three views in the video window: playing table, wide shot of the casino, shuffling room.

One very handy feature that we really like at this casino are the History/Stats tabs on the games menu screen. As you are choosing a table to play at, you can check its history or stats and know which numbers have been hot or cold at each Blackjack table or how frequently recent Baccarat hands have gone to the Dealer or Player or tied.

Dealers

The dealers at this casino are much prettier and friendlier than at some we’ve visited. They look right into the camera as they deal your cards and speak directly to you when it’s your turn to make a decision.  Each time I sat down to a table the dealer welcomed me by name and wished me luck. There’s a chat window where you can make comments to the dealer so once, between hands, I told the dealer that she had a lovely smile. She looked right at the camera and flashed a big smile so I knew she’d heard me.

Games

• Blackjack
• Roulette
• Baccarat

Roulette

The video in this game is much better than any we’ve seen anywhere else. As you place your bets you see a wide shot of the full table but when the dealer spins the wheel the camera automatically zooms in on it so that you can clearly see the ball spinning and eventually landing on a number.

Blackjack

Europa Live Dealer Casino uses eight decks for Live Blackjack with a live dealer and a real Blackjack table, with multiple players. The cards are shuffled when there are approximately four decks left in the shoe.

Unlike some live dealer casinos where draw decisions are made automatically according to basic strategy rules, at Europa Live Dealer Casino you are in complete control of whether to Hit or Stand.  This version of Blackjack includes an interesting side bet option.  Once you place a wager on your own hand, you can also bet on whether either the Player or the Dealer will get a perfect pair. This bet is quite a long shot and pays out accordingly: 300 to 1.
