Card games have been an essential part of human entertainment, and thanks to technology, you get to enjoy a classic table game in an online casino in South Africa. The best real money table games in South Africa are always those you excel in. For this reason, sampling various live dealer games helps sharpen your online gambling skills and gives you the confidence to face bigger challenges. If you’re ready to discover live dealer games at Springbok Casino, here’s where to begin.
Live Blackjack
Online live blackjack is an industry staple. An assortment of Blackjack games is the best way to test your capacity to hit 21 and below. There are eight blackjack variations to choose from, including:
- Standard: In standard blackjack, you try to get as close to 21 as possible, without going over 21. The dealer hands you two cards, and you choose to hit or stand and hope you don’t bust before the dealer. When you have an ace and ten-value card, you have the strongest combination possible, and you can win against the dealer.
- Perfect Pairs: Perfect Pairs allows you to bet on landing a pair of matching cards and win against the dealer. The payout is as high as 30 to 1 for a perfect pair of cards.
- European blackjack: This variation of blackjack follows some of the traditional blackjack rules but includes variations such as the dealer getting the second card after players make a move.
- Face Up 21: This type of blackjack is also known as Double Exposure or Dealer Disclosure. It’s a blackjack variation where you can see both of the dealer’s cards before playing your cards. The game has a 6-5 payout to cover the dealers.
- Match Play 21: The main difference between Match Play 21 and standard blackjack is the winning cards. If you get three 7-cards, and the dealer has a 7 card, prepare for a 40 to 1 win ratio. Three 7 spades have a 3 to 1 payout ratio, while 6-7-8 spades pay 3 to 1.
- Pontoon: While Poonton is similar to Spanish blackjack, there are a few differences. First, the dealer has no hole card, and you can only surrender if the dealer plays an ace or face card.
- Super 21: This exciting version of blackjack lets you split up to four times and bet on diamonds. The goal is to get to 21, and the payout depends on the combination you achieve. If you get to 21 with five cards or six cards, you’ll get a 2 to 1 payout.
- Suit ‘Em up: This is a blackjack game that supports a bet of your first two cards coming from the same suit.

Live Poker
Like other table games, poker games grew into a casino staple over the years, and now it feels like it’s always been there. There are different poker variations, each readily available in the comfort of your Springbok mobile casino app or through the web.
Depending on the structure of your poker game, you may not have to worry about your poker face. This reality is especially true for online poker games. However, you still have to watch the cards on the table and try to decide when to play your stack and still have the highest 5-card combination.
Caribbean Draw
This version of poker has elements of blackjack and poker to create a thrilling table game. Like other poker versions, this is a five-card game against the dealer. After placing your bet, the dealer hands you five cards and only displays one. Your next move is to keep playing and double your original ante wager or discard and replace two cards to improve the strength of your hand. Whoever has the strongest hand wins with the Royal Flush holding the highest payout at a 100 to 1 ratio.
Caribbean Hold’Em
As with other poker games, the game starts with you placing an ante bet. The dealer then hands you two cards, and they also hold two cards hidden from you. The dealer then places the ‘flop’ and draws three community cards you and the dealer can play with. You can fold and lose your bet or call and double your wager. The dealer draws two more community cards and once played, they reveal their hand. The player with the best five-card combination wins.
Caribbean Stud
In the Caribbean stud poker, you play against the dealer to get the best five-card combination. You have to place your bet, including on progressive jackpots before the dealer hands out the cards. The dealer reveals his four-hole cards after all players are done playing and pays out to those with a stronger hand.
Texas Hold’Em
Known for world series championships, Texas Hold’em poker is probably the most popular type of poker you’ll play.
The game begins with two cards face down and as the game progresses, five more cards are dealt, face-up as the community cards. The goal is to get the best five-card-hand or hope all other players fold.
Tri card
In this variation of poker, a straight ranks higher than a flush hand. All the players bet against the dealer to get a better hand. After placing your bets, the dealer hands you three cards to play. Usually, the dealer needs a queen to win, and if they don’t play there’s a 1:1 payout.
Live Baccarat
In Baccarat, you do not play against the dealer. Instead, you try to get a bigger win by inching closer to nine. Simply bet on one of the two hands and hope for the best. Since nine is the highest value, ten cards have zero value and aces have a value of one.
Generally, values over nine go back to zero, and the count starts again. The most pressure starts when you have a 5 and are wondering if you should increase it. There are multiple variations of Baccarat available including:
- Chemin de Fer: Chein de Fer is a Baccarat game that accommodates up to 14 players and allows them to bet against other players.
- Punto Banco: Punto Banco applies the basic Baccarat rules with a 1:1 win.
- No Commission Baccarat: In this variation of Baccarat, you don’t have to pay a commission to the dealer to bet on their hand.
- European Baccarat: In this version of Baccarat, the bank may choose to draw a third card if you stand on five.
- American Baccarat: This version of Baccarat only deals two cards, with six to eight decks available.
- Dragon Tiger: This is a variation of poker where you bet on the Dragon or Tiger.
