Vivo Gaming Live Dealer Games & Casinos Reviewed

Vivo Gaming live dealer games are broadcasted 24/7 from multiple locations, including studios in Asia and the Caribbean. All tables being placed within the same area mimics the brick-and-mortar casino set-up both visually and in terms of sounds, thus making the gaming experience quite realistic.

The software offers multi-game play option allowing users to enjoy more than one game at the same time.

One can communicate with the dealer and socialise with other players by typing messages into a chat box, and use Report Issue function to make an automatic screenshot and report an issue to the support team.

Quality of the video feed is more than decent and rarely experiences freezing. All settings are packed into a discreet toolbar placed at the top of the screen. Several mini side-games are offered on the side, so one can in parallel play slots and video poker in the same window.

Lobby gives an overview of available games, displaying the image of the dealer, seat occupancy (if applicable), and a choice between 2D and 3D mode.

Next to Visionary iGaming, Vivo is one of the rare providers with a demo system which enables players to try their products for free – a great way to get familiar with a game while not risking any of your own cash.

Vivo Gaming Live Roulette

Vivo’s Classic European Roulette can manage an unlimited number of players simultaneously. The game being streamed with the help of a full HD auto-moving camera with no cuts increases credibility.

One can choose 3D view which makes video fill the entire screen and superimposes computer-generated betting table, or pick 2D option and move video feed to a smaller window while betting area occupies the lower half of the screen. Either way, camera will automatically zoom in on the wheel once it starts spinning and allow a close look at the outcome.

The toolbar placed on top provides access to rules, limits and game statistics, and enables one to control volume, switch to full screen, or open chat box. At the bottom you’ll find betting controls plus a button leading to the Lobby.

Well-designed interface ensures clean and uncluttered view of the game, giving the whole experience an authentic feel. Vivo’s live dealer Roulette offers a variety of table limits, which at CloudBet you’ll find starting at 0.001 BTC. VIP tables have been included for the benefit of high-rollers.

Vivo Gaming Live Blackjack

Classic 7 seat Live Blackjack uses 8 decks and offers one to play up to 3 hands simultaneously. Blackjack pays 3 to 2, the dealer stands on all 17s and offers insurance which pays 2:1. Players can double down on any card once and split up to two times.

What’s quite unusual is that no side bets are offered. The game also comes free of Bet Behind functionality, meaning you’ll just have to wait for a seat to become vacant or go search for another table. Same as Roulette, Vivo Live Blackjack offers a choice between 2D and 3D views.

Oversized markings make the cards easy to read whichever mode you pick. Control buttons are placed in exactly the same way as in Roulette and just as discreet. At CloudBet, you’ll get to play by wagering a minimum of 0.005 BTC.

Vivo Gaming Live Baccarat

Vivo features 11 different Baccarat tables, including Speed Baccarat with the betting taking place every 15-20 seconds, Squeeze Baccarat which provides an authentic land-based casino feel, fantasy tables with dealers dressed as fairytale characters, and Early 6 Card Draw.

Players can choose among 3D and 2D view which function as described above, 5S view with an enlarged betting area and smaller video displayed on top, and V1 which minimises video feed and gives even more space to computer-generated betting table and roadmaps.

Visibility of the cards drawn is excellent, but just in case, they’ll be additionally displayed as digital images. There are 6 different roadmaps to choose from and multiple side bets to take advantage of.

Players can bet on Player or Banker Pair, Either Pair, Perfect Pair, Big or Small, and Player or Banker Dragon Bonus. The latter has the highest win potential, paying up to 30:1 for a nine-point difference between the winning and the losing hand. The minimum Live Baccarat stake at CloudBet is 0.001 BTC.

Vivo Gaming has additionally developed Live Caribbean Stud Poker, Dragon Tiger, Sic Bo and Craps (not available anymore).

Rarely found Live Craps game was managed by two dealers, one serving as the shooter and the other as the table host. These games don’t seem to be operational at the moment, but could potentially get reinstated at a later date.

Languages Offered

Vivo Gaming live games are broadcasted 24/7 in English and Spanish, though the developer will gladly provide localized multi-currency and multi-lingual UI with native speaking dealers.

Should you choose to join one of the Asian tables, be prepared to face a host speaking less than fluent English and occasionally struggling to understand messages sent via the chat box.

Platform Overview

In order to ensure full cross-platform gaming experience, the company provides their products in both Flash and HTML 5. Their software is fully compatible with the most popular iOS and Android tablets and smartphones, making games playable in both landscape and portrait format. Controls have been adapted to ensure maximum visibility while still giving plenty of space to the video feed.

Live Mobile Roulette will display a large image of the betting table and allow one to further zoom in when placing bets. Once the wheel starts spinning, the video will expand and list of your stakes will be displayed on the right-hand side.

Collapsible menu icon on the left offers you to double-check game limits, access rules, and look for an alternative game in the Lobby. Vivo mobile offering is available online as well as via native live dealer apps.

Live Dealers

Asian, Latin and European dealers are carefully picked and properly trained before hosting their first Vivo live game. Generally charming and relatively chatty, some speak English in heavy accents you might struggle to understand.

The male to female ratio seems to be strongly in favour of the ladies wearing tight black dresses and welcoming you with a smile that never seems to leave their face.

Competitive Advantages and Points of Difference

Vivo’s diverse portfolio would be the developer’s main competitive advantage if only the entire assortment was operational. As it is, they’re competing with the basic Roulette – Blackjack – Baccarat offering, in some parts performing better than their rivals, and in some worse.

Live Blackjack, for example, sorely misses side bets and Bet Behind option.

Live Baccarat range, on the other hand, offers plenty game variations and side betting opportunities. Players will surely appreciate the choice of views, unique Report Issue function, well-structured, uncluttered layout, and rarely featured free-play option.

Being offered a view of other tables and exposed to typical casino noise, they will likely find the experience more realistic than when playing at isolated tables provided by the likes of Extreme Live Gaming.
