The LiveCasino.ie Awards celebrate the best Irish live casino products — from the software studios who create cutting-edge live games to the operators who bring them to your screen. Each of the categories focuses on a different part of what makes live dealer games stand out. Quality, innovation, and the player experience are all important aspects.
Below, you’ll find all the categories we cover in our awards. We’ve also outlined what we’re focusing on for each of them. In other words, we’ll tell you which aspects we consider when nominating our candidates for each award category.
The Best Live Table Game Provider category recognises the studio or developer delivering the most authentic and consistent live table experience. We’ll look at the production quality, game stability, dealer professionalism, and how classic casino games such as blackjack, roulette, and baccarat are recreated in a live casino format. Of course, we also consider the overall selection of live dealer table games, and consider which versions the studio offers beyond the classics.
In the Best Live Game Show Provider category, the focus is on studios that have mastered the live game show format. We’ll consider originality, visual presentation, and how engaging the host-led experience feels. Nominees should offer interactive features, easy-to-follow rules, and a solid balance between entertainment and exciting game concepts. Game providers who create fun and innovative game shows will be the candidates to take home this award.
Most Innovative Live Dealer Game is an award that highlights creativity in live game design. We’re looking for game titles that push boundaries through new mechanics, bonus features, or other technology that enhances engagement. Games that introduce fresh twists to familiar formats, or combine RNG and live elements in an original way, will be the top contenders. The focus is on innovation that improves the experience without compromising the quality.
The Best Interactive Live Dealer Game category recognises the game that best connects players and dealers in real time. We’ll consider the level of interaction offered, including chat features, optional bets, and how the dealer responds to players. The winning live dealer game should create an inclusive environment that feels personal. Smooth communication and a well-designed user interface will weigh heavily in the nomination phase.
Best Up-and-Coming Live Casino Provider is a category for studios that are about to make a name for themselves in the live casino vertical — be they new studios or older ones who have greatly improved their products. Nominees should show growth, innovation, and the overall quality of their releases should be outstanding. We’ll look at technical reliability, the professionalism of dealers, and creativity in game development.
The Best Live Casino Operator category honours the casino site that provides the best overall live dealer experience. We’ll assess game variety, selection of game studios, user interface, and customer support, along with bonuses, payments, and all other aspects. Live casino operators that maintain responsible gaming practices, transparent terms, and a smooth, secure environment for Irish players will score highly.
