Pick whichever one makes you happier to lose money on!

Personally, I alternate between them depending on my mood. Sometimes I want the zen-like rhythm of live dealer, sometimes I want the instant gratification of RNG.

RNG loads instantly and works perfectly even on slower connections. For mobile players, it's not even close.

But here's something to consider: the sophisticated streaming technology used in live dealer games introduces its own potential failure points. Network lag, streaming glitches, disconnections during spins... RNG doesn't have these issues.

Currently loving Evolution's Immersive Roulette at Mr Green - multiple camera angles make you feel like you're really there.

But ultimately, we're all just dancing with Lady Luck, whether she's dressed as an algorithm or a croupier in a studio in Latvia.

I prefer live dealer specifically BECAUSE of the slower pace. It forces better bankroll management and makes the entertainment last longer. When I'm spending £100 on a night out, I'd rather it lasts 3 hours than 45 minutes.

That said, if I had to choose, I'd go RNG simply because live dealer tables at peak times can have annoying wait times. Nothing worse than being on a hot streak and having to wait 30 seconds between spins.

RNG roulette usually contributes 20% towards wagering while live dealer might be 10% or 0%. Something to factor in when choosing.

I'd suggest trying both with small stakes and seeing what feels right for you.

I've been playing RNG games at PlayOJO (love that they show the RTP clearly), but wondering if I should try live dealer. What are the minimum stakes typically?

Plus, the margins are tiny - you might shift the house edge from 2.7% to 2.2%. Hardly a goldmine.

What really matters is which format you enjoy more. I prefer live because I can chat with dealers and other players. Makes the losses hurt less somehow! ‍️

If so, that would make live dealer potentially MORE favourable to skilled players, while RNG remains purely luck-based.

I've seen players at 32Red's VIP live tables who seem to predict sections of the wheel with uncanny accuracy. Is that more or less fair than RNG?

I switched from RNG to live dealer specifically because I was burning through my bankroll too quickly. The natural pace helps with responsible gambling.

Had a brilliant run on Playtech's Premium European Roulette at William Hill last week - £50 to £340 in about 90 minutes. Would have taken 3+ hours on live dealer.

The real difference is speed. RNG lets me play 60+ spins per hour, live dealer maybe 30. If you're chasing losses (don't judge me), RNG gets you there faster... for better or worse!

With live dealer, at least when weird streaks happen, you can see it's just luck (or a biased wheel, which is also possible but rare).

For a fair roulette wheel, the probability of hitting any single number is P = 1/37 = 0.02703

If we assume perfect randomness, the expected variance σ² = n × p × (1-p) where n = number of spins

So for 1000 spins: σ² = 1000 × (1/37) × (36/37) = 26.31
Standard deviation σ = √26.31 = 5.13

This means in 1000 spins, any number should appear 27 ± 10 times (roughly 2 standard deviations) to be considered statistically normal.

The beauty is this applies to BOTH RNG and live dealer if they're truly random. The difference isn't in fairness - it's in trust.

I've noticed uk roulette sites with live dealers tend to have more varied betting patterns from other players too, which somehow feels more natural.

That said, I prefer live dealer because at least I can see what's happening. Evolution Gaming's Lightning Roulette at Bet365 has been treating me well lately.
