An explainer, not a promotion
Studio Floor explains how live dealer games actually work. It is written for adults who want to understand the room behind the result, and it is deliberately not a recommendation of any operator, table or game.
Plate 1What this is
Studio Floor is an educational reference about live dealer games — the streamed-table format in which a human dealer works real equipment in a studio and you bet remotely. It covers the room, the people in it, the equipment that decides results, the stream that carries the picture, the checks around fairness, the ways a table can be cheated from the player side, and the beliefs about live tables that do not survive contact with the mechanism.
Everything here is written from the mechanism outwards. Where the honest answer is "you cannot check this yourself", the site says so rather than dressing it up. Where a claim is partly real — a dealer can err, a wheel can be biased, a shared table can be colluded against — it is treated as real rather than dismissed.
Plate 2What this is not
It is not betting, financial, tax or legal advice. It is not a review of any operator, studio, brand or game, and it names none of them. It is not a claim that live play is safer, fairer or better than generated or land-based play: the rules and the edge of a given bet are the same wherever you meet them, and what differs is the pace, the transparency and what you can check. And it is not a route to profit — there is no such route in a game with an edge against the player.
Explaining a mechanism in plain language, with the limits stated honestly.
No recommendation to play, no operator named, no strategy sold, no promise of an edge.
The site does not intervene with operators or resolve individual complaints; it explains where the evidence in a real dispute lives.
Plate 3How it is written
Each topic is described as a mechanism first: what the thing is, how it behaves, and what follows from it. Numbers used in illustrations are marked as illustrative and describe no real studio, table or game. Where a distinction matters — for example between a physical result and a recomputable one — the difference is made explicit rather than smoothed over.
The site is static HTML with no runtime JavaScript, no cookies, no analytics and no tracking. It loads no third-party scripts and requests no external fonts or assets. What you read is what is in the page.
Plate 4How it is paid for
The site is funded by affiliate links to a partner operator. If you open an account through one of those links, we may be paid, at no extra cost to you. That is disclosed on every page, and it is worth being plain about the incentive it creates: the link pays us, and it does not make any table fairer, change any result, or constitute a recommendation to bet.
Every page carries the same warning because the risk is genuine and does not go away with understanding it. 18+ only. If gambling is causing you or someone around you harm, free and confidential support is available in most countries through national gambling-harm helplines.
Affiliate disclosure and risk warning
Every affiliate link on this page and in the header is a sponsored link to a partner operator, and we may be paid if you open an account through it, at no extra cost to you. That link pays us; it does not make any table fairer than it is, it does not change the result of any hand, spin or roll, and it is never a recommendation to bet. Nothing on this page is betting, financial, tax or legal advice, and no figure on it describes any real studio, brand or game. 18+ only. Gambling is a real risk of real loss. Live tables carry risks of their own: the outcome is a physical event in a room you do not control, the picture you watch arrives after the event has happened, a disconnection can leave a bet placed or a decision missed, a shared table means other people's money is in the same hand as yours, and the equipment, limits and house rules behind a live game are described by each operator's own terms, which can change. Gambling can cause serious financial harm, including debt and damage to relationships and mental health. Never stake money you cannot afford to lose, never borrow to bet, and never increase a stake to chase a loss. Free, confidential support is available in most countries from national gambling-harm helplines, for players and for the people around them.
Plate 5Where to start
If you are new to live games, read the overview and then the studio page. If you are trying to understand why something felt odd, start with the stream. If you care about fairness and evidence, go to integrity. And if you have heard a claim that sounded too good, the short verdicts are collected on false beliefs.
