Play Top Live Casino Games at Guts

Live casino games are one of the fastest-growing online gambling verticals in New Zealand. While the early online casino industry made it possible for fans of card and table games to enjoy their favourite pastime from the comfort of their homes, it removed one key ingredient, the ability to socialise with like-minded players.

With the recent advancement in high-speed internet connections, live-streaming technology and home access to high-resolution screens and devices capable of processing large amounts of information, live dealer casino gaming exploded onto the market.

At Guts casino, we have the best selection of live casino games New Zealand players could ever ask for, thanks to partnerships with live dealer specialists. These agreements allow us to stream games like live blackjack, live baccarat, live roulette and live poker to your home computer or mobile device. All you need is a stable internet connection.

Live Blackjack

No matter where you find yourself, you will discover fellow blackjack fans, making it the king of all card games. Early online casinos focused heavily on card games, with blackjack being the most played for many years. With the ability to connect multiple players at a live blackjack table and have them support each other via chat as they go head-to-head with the dealer, the card game has seen a well-deserved resurgence in popularity.

What makes blackjack so enjoyable is that it offers players the chance to interact with a live dealer. This enhances the feeling of pitting your abilities against the house and allows players to connect. As blackjack players know, the vibe between contestants at a traditional seven-seater table sets the tone and the pace for the rest of the session.

The aim of live blackjack is simple, create a hand as close to 21 in value as possible. The only challenge is that you need to do so without overshooting the goal, known as going bust, while having a higher value hand than the dealer. This is where playing with others at a live table can make or break your strategy, as pulling high or low cards can either benefit your chances of a winning hand or ruin them. Regardless of the outcome, there is always a strong camaraderie at a live blackjack table as players celebrate or commiserate with one another.

Regarding high-stakes blackjack, we have the finest live casino games New Zealand players can dream of. Our Blackjack Platinum VIP and Diamond VIP tables accept stakes of up to $5000 per hand, while our Black F, G, H, and I tables have a limit of $2,500 per hand. We also offer an additional twenty tables with bet limits of up to $1,000 per hand.

If you prefer low stakes, you will love our Blackjack Party tables, where you can test your card shark skill for as little as $0.50 per hand. We also offer a range of tables with minimum bets between $10 and $25, making this an excellent option for big spenders and casual players.

To add entertainment to this classic card game, our blackjack table offers several side bets, including Any Pair, Perfect Pair, 21+3, Hot 4, Bust It, and the popular Six Card Charlie feature.

Live Baccarat

Baccarat tables are one of the staple games of high-end casinos worldwide. It was even the preferred game for a very popular British spy for most of his illustrious career. The simplicity, speed, and chance to play for high stakes made this game so popular in New Zealand and around the world.

Live baccarat is incredibly simple to learn. The game table consists of three boxes labelled Banker, Player, and Tie. The dealer will deal a two-card hand for the Banker and for the Player. The bettor predicts whether the Banker or Player hands will be the one to end with a value closest to nine. There is also the third option which is bet on the two hands being a tie.

A winning hand backing the Player Hand, or the Banker hand will payout at 1:1. However, betting on a Tie and winning the round will award you an 8:1 prize.

We know that our Kiwi live baccarat players enjoy some variety in their gaming which is why we offer thirty different tables. The available variants include Peek Baccarat, where you get to see up to four facedown cards for a price, Golden Wealth Baccarat, that lets you draw draw cards with up to 8x win multipliers; and Bac Bo, a game that uses dice instead of cards.

Players looking for that high-stakes experience can wager up to $1000 per hand at our Lightning Baccarat, Speed Baccarat, No Commission Baccarat and Baccarat Squeeze tables. If you are playing on a budget, we have you covered, as all our tables have minimum bets ranging from $1 to $5, making it the perfect live casino game for any table game player.

Live Poker

Online poker is one of the main reasons we saw the development of live games in the online casino space. These live poker tables proved that players wanted to compete alongside and engage with other players.

Today Kiwi live poker fans can enjoy more traditional experiences thanks to games like Ultimate Texas Hold’em and Casino Hold’em and live dealer versions of casino card games like Three Card Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker, and Side Bet City.

The aim of any live poker game, rule variation dependent, is to create a 3 to 7-card hand stronger than the other players at the table or the dealer in the case of one-on-one games. These winning hands follow a well-known formula of two-of-a-kind, three-of-a-kind, four-of-a-kind, full house, a flush, a royal flush and so on.

At Guts casino, we also run some of the best New Zealand live poker tournaments and offer lucrative welcome bonuses for new players. We treat our longstanding poker patrons to various rewards, including a loyalty cashback promotion.
