Search for a live casino and you picture a real croupier dealing cards on a video feed. We want to be straight with you about what Fair Go runs. Our games come from RealTime Gaming and its newer arm SpinLogic, and that software is built around certified random number generators rather than studio streaming. So what you get here are virtual table games — blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, pai gow and video poker — that play out instantly against a program, not a streamed human dealer. That distinction matters, and the rest of this page explains it in plain terms so you can decide whether RNG tables suit how you like to play. We do not run hidden live studios, and we will not pretend otherwise. Gambling is entertainment, not income. You must be 18+ to play, and free support is available through Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858.
What "Live Casino" Means at Fair Go
Fair Go does not stream live-dealer tables. Our RTG and SpinLogic catalogue is RNG-based, so table games here are virtual: outcomes are generated by certified software in milliseconds. You play blackjack, roulette and baccarat solo, at your own pace, in AUD.
Let's clear this up first, because it shapes everything else.
When most people type "live casino" they mean a feed from a studio: a dealer in front of a real wheel or shoe, cards turned by hand, a chat box, other players staking alongside them. Fair Go runs on RealTime Gaming and SpinLogic, and neither was built for that. Their strength is RNG game design — pokies first, then a tidy set of virtual table games that resolve through a certified random number generator. So the blackjack hand you play here is dealt by code, settled in an instant, and shown to you alone. There is no croupier, no shared table, no stream. We could dress that up with studio language, but it would be a lie, and a lie about how your money is settled is the worst kind to tell.
What we do offer is a focused virtual table set inside the same lobby as the pokies. You open a title, the chips load, and you are playing within seconds — no scheduling, no waiting for a seat. The maths behind each game is the published table edge, and the deal order is RNG-driven rather than dealt from a physical shoe.
Being straight about this matters more than it might seem, because the word live carries an expectation we cannot meet, and we would rather correct it here than let the lobby disappoint you. If the social side of a streamed table — a croupier on camera, other players, a real shoe worked down over many hands — is the whole reason you are searching, that is a different product and you are better served looking elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you mainly want the games themselves, played fast, privately and at your own pace, the RNG tables here do exactly that and on the same certified maths a physical table carries. Knowing which of those two players you are is the quickest way to decide whether our table set fits you.
If a streamed croupier is the whole reason you came, this is the moment to know it is not us.
- There are no streamed human dealers on Fair Go — this is RNG table play
- RTG and SpinLogic are the only software providers behind every table
- Tables resolve instantly and you play them on your own, not at a shared table
- All stakes, limits and payouts are quoted in AUD
Live Dealer vs RNG Virtual Tables
A live-dealer game streams a real person dealing in real time; an RNG virtual table settles each round through certified software with no human and no feed. The first is social and paced by the dealer; the second is instant, private and runs entirely at your speed.
These two formats look similar on a results screen but work nothing alike underneath.
A live-dealer table is a video production. A studio runs a physical wheel or card shoe, cameras capture every action, and optical software reads the result and credits your bet. You wait for the dealer to spin or deal, other players sit at the same table, and the round moves at the dealer's tempo. An RNG virtual table strips all of that out: a certified random number generator produces the outcome the instant you commit your stake, the result appears immediately, and you are the only player at that table. Neither is more or less honest than the other — a streamed wheel is physically random, a tested RNG is mathematically random, and both are audited — but the playing experience is genuinely different.
The table below lays the two side by side so the trade-offs are clear before you pick a game in our lobby.
Live dealer vs RNG virtual tables — the practical contrast
| Feature | Live dealer (not at Fair Go) | RNG virtual table (what Fair Go runs) |
|---|---|---|
| Who deals | Real croupier on camera | Certified random number generator |
| Speed | Paced by the dealer | Instant — resolves the moment you stake |
| Other players | Shared table, live chat | Solo, private, your own tempo |
| Minimum stakes | Often higher to cover studio costs | Typically low, beginner-friendly |
| Free demo mode | Rarely available | Available on most virtual tables |
| Available at Fair Go | No | Yes — blackjack, roulette, baccarat and more |
- Live-dealer fairness comes from a physical wheel or shoe; RNG fairness comes from tested software
- Studio tables move at the dealer's pace, RNG tables move at yours
- Live tables are social; RNG tables are a solo, self-paced session
- Only the RNG column applies to Fair Go
The RTG Virtual Table Games You Can Play
Our virtual table set covers blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, pai gow poker and several video poker variants, all from RTG and SpinLogic. Each loads instantly in the browser, runs on a published house edge, and accepts AUD stakes from low minimums upward.
Here is what is actually on the menu, with the headline maths for each.
The set is deliberately compact rather than sprawling, because RTG and SpinLogic concentrate on doing a handful of table classics well. American and European roulette cover the wheel; multi-hand and single-hand blackjack handle the cards; baccarat, craps and pai gow round out the felt; and a video poker rack (Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild and similar) sits alongside for players who prefer a paytable to a dealer. Every one of them is the RNG build — instant deal, solo play, demo mode on most. The figures in the table are the theoretical long-run house edges published for optimal play; they describe expected return over thousands of hands, not what any single session will do.
Use the edges as a guide to which games are mathematically kinder, then check each title's own help screen for its exact rules, because side bets and paytable tweaks shift the numbers.
Understanding why the set stays small rather than sprawling into dozens of near-identical tables pays off. RTG and SpinLogic build a handful of table classics to a high standard and certify each on the same RNG, which keeps the chip handling, the bet controls and the fairness model consistent from one game to the next. The upshot for you is that learning one blackjack table teaches you most of what you need for the others, and the edge figures above are reliable reference points rather than marketing gloss. A bloated table lobby tends to be the same few games re-skinned anyway; a compact, well-built set is the trade we prefer and, we think, the one that serves a player better.
Our RTG / SpinLogic virtual tables and their house edge
| Game | Format | Typical house edge (optimal play) | Demo mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| European Roulette | Single-zero wheel | ~2.70% | Yes |
| American Roulette | Double-zero wheel | ~5.26% | Yes |
| Blackjack (multi-hand) | Card game | ~0.5% with correct strategy | Yes |
| Baccarat | Banker/Player/Tie | ~1.06% on Banker | Yes |
| Pai Gow Poker | Seven-card split | ~2.5% | Yes |
| Video Poker (Jacks or Better) | Paytable poker | ~0.5% on full-pay | Yes |
- House edge figures are theoretical long-run values, not session guarantees
- European roulette's single zero is mathematically kinder than American's double zero
- Side bets and paytable changes alter the published edge — read each game's rules
- Demo mode lets you learn the controls before staking AUD
Why RNG Tables Can Suit Aussie Players
RNG virtual tables load instantly, run at your own tempo, accept low AUD stakes, and offer demo play so you can learn without risk. They use the same certified random number generator as our pokies, so fairness is independent of any dealer.
There is a real case for this format, and it is not just "what we happen to have".
Speed and control are the headline benefits. A live-dealer round can take a minute or more while the croupier waits on the room; an RNG table deals the second you are ready and never holds you up. You set the rhythm — pause to think through basic strategy, walk away mid-shoe, come back later, all without an audience watching the seat. Stakes tend to start low because there is no studio overhead to cover, which makes RNG tables a sensible place to learn a game cheaply. The free demo mode on most titles takes that further: you can rehearse blackjack decisions or feel out a roulette betting pattern with play-money chips before a single real dollar is at stake.
And the fairness question is settled the same way as on every pokie in the lobby — by a certified random number generator that is independently tested. There is no dealer to read, no shared table to wait on, and no studio schedule to fit around. For a player who values pace, privacy and a low entry point, that is a genuinely good fit.
The trade-off, of course, is the human element — which the next sections address head-on.
Speed carries a responsible-play angle too, and it cuts both ways. Instant resolution means you can get through a lot of hands quickly, which is efficient when you are learning but can also burn a bankroll faster than a dealer-paced table would. We surface session-time reminders and deposit limits precisely because a self-paced game asks more self-discipline than one where a croupier sets the tempo. Used well, the control is a genuine advantage: you can stop on a dime, walk away mid-shoe with nothing lost, and take as long as you like over a tricky decision. The same freedom just means the brakes are yours to apply, so set a budget and a stop before you start rather than in the middle of a fast run.
Learning blackjack on a budget
- Open a multi-hand blackjack title and switch it to demo mode
- Play 30 practice hands using a basic-strategy chart on the side
- Switch to real money at the A$1 minimum once the decisions feel automatic
- Set a session loss limit before you raise stakes any further
You learn correct play for free, then stake small — keeping the ~0.5% edge working for you instead of guessing.
- Demo mode is for learning — wins there are not real money and cannot be withdrawn
- Low minimums make RNG tables a cheap place to practise a new game
- You control the pace entirely; there is no dealer or other players to wait on
- Set a loss limit before you move from demo to real AUD stakes
A quick five-minute roulette session
- Choose European Roulette for its single zero and lower edge
- Decide your bankroll for the session, say A$20, before you start
- Place even-money bets so each spin resolves instantly with no dealer wait
- Stop the moment you hit your A$20 stop-loss or a set time
You fit a full session into a coffee break because RNG spins are immediate — no studio pacing involved.
Comparing two games before committing
- Load baccarat in demo and note the Banker bet's ~1.06% edge
- Load American roulette in demo and note its ~5.26% edge
- Play ten free rounds of each to feel the rhythm
- Pick the game whose edge and pace you prefer, then deposit AUD
You make an informed choice using free play and published edges rather than picking blind.
Which Table Format Fits You
If you want speed, privacy, low stakes and free practice, our RNG virtual tables fit well. If a streamed human dealer, a social table or a real shoe is essential to your enjoyment, that is not something Fair Go provides — and we would rather you knew that up front.
Not every player wants the same thing from a table, so here is an honest steer.
The decision usually comes down to whether the human, social side of a casino table is part of the appeal for you, or whether you are mainly there for the game itself. RNG virtual tables win on speed, low entry cost and self-paced privacy; live-dealer rooms win on atmosphere, the reassurance of watching a real deal, and the social buzz of a shared table. Neither is objectively better. The helper below maps a few common player types to the format that tends to suit them — and where that format is not us, we point you there plainly rather than nudging you onto a game that will not scratch the itch.
Whatever you choose, treat the stakes as the price of entertainment and set your limits first.
- RNG tables suit speed, low stakes and self-paced, private play
- Live dealers suit atmosphere, social play and watching a real deal — not available here
- Neither format is fairer than the other; both are audited
- If a streamed dealer is essential, Fair Go is honestly not the place

How Fairness Works on RNG Tables
Every Fair Go virtual table runs on a certified random number generator, the same engine that powers our pokies. The RNG is independently tested for randomness, each round is independent of the last, and the published house edge — not any tampering — explains long-run results.
Because there is no dealer to watch, fairness here lives in the software — so it is worth understanding.
A random number generator is a tested algorithm that produces unpredictable, evenly distributed outcomes; for a deck it shuffles to a fair distribution, for a wheel it lands on each number with the correct probability. RTG and SpinLogic submit this engine for independent testing, and the verified result is that no past round influences the next and no outcome can be predicted or nudged. The house edge you see in our table is built into the rules of each game, not bolted on by manipulation — it is the same mathematical structure a physical casino table carries. That is the honest source of the casino's long-run margin, and it is fully disclosed rather than hidden.
Knowing this lets you read results sensibly: a rough run is variance doing what variance does over a small sample, not the game "turning against you".
It also reframes a question players often ask: how can I trust software I cannot watch? The honest answer is that you trust it the same way you trust the certified RNG behind every pokie in the lobby — through independent testing and a published, fixed house edge, not through watching a deal. A human croupier can be read, certainly, but a person is also subject to fatigue and error in a way a tested algorithm is not. The reassurance of a visible deal is psychological rather than mathematical; the maths of fairness is identical whether a wheel is physical or virtual. What you can actually check — the rules, the edge, the audited engine — is laid out in each game's help screen, and that is the part that decides your long-run return.
Verification, in other words, replaces the croupier you can see with maths you can check.
- The RNG is independently tested for fair, unpredictable outcomes
- Each round is independent — past results never affect the next one
- The house edge is built into the game rules, not added by tampering
- Short losing runs are normal variance over a small sample
Playing Virtual Tables on Mobile and Desktop
All our virtual tables run as instant play in the browser, so there is no app to install. The same blackjack, roulette and baccarat titles work on Android, iPhone, tablet and desktop, in AUD, and your balance follows you across every device you log in from.
Access is simple, and there is one thing to clear up about apps.
Fair Go has no downloadable application. Every game, tables included, runs through the browser as instant play, so you reach the same blackjack and roulette titles on a phone, a tablet or a laptop without installing anything. Log in through your mobile browser and the lobby adapts to the screen; the controls scale for touch, the AUD balance is the one account across all your devices, and 24/7 live chat sits one tap away if you need a hand. There is no separate mobile catalogue to learn — what you play on desktop is exactly what you play on mobile, because it is the same software served to whichever device you opened.
If you prefer a home-screen shortcut, your browser's "add to home screen" option gives you one without any download — it is just a bookmark, not an app.
Because the tables are browser-based, switching devices mid-session costs you nothing. Start a blackjack hand on the laptop, get called away, and pick the same balance up on your phone an hour later — there is no save, no sync and no app state to lose, because the account lives on our servers rather than on any one device. The controls re-flow to whatever screen you opened: a wider desktop layout, a thumb-friendly portrait view on a phone. What never changes is the game itself, since the RNG and the rules run server-side and simply render to the device in front of you. That portability is one of the underrated upsides of running tables in instant play rather than a downloaded client.
So the practical answer is: open a browser, log in, and the tables are there. There is no separate mobile download to chase, no app permission to grant, and no store approval to wait on — the same blackjack, roulette and baccarat you would open on a laptop load straight onto the phone in your hand, scaled for touch and sharing the one AUD balance.
If a table ever stalls on a weak connection, a quick page refresh reloads it cleanly with your balance intact, exactly as on the pokies, because the game state lives on our servers rather than in the browser tab.
- There is no Fair Go app — every table is browser-based instant play
- The same titles run on Android, iPhone, tablet and desktop
- One AUD account and balance follows you across all devices
- "Add to home screen" is a bookmark, not a downloadable app

Frequently Asked Questions
No, and we would rather be upfront about it than let you arrive expecting otherwise. Fair Go runs on RealTime Gaming and its newer SpinLogic arm, software built around certified random number generators rather than studio streaming. That means we do not have a real croupier dealing cards or spinning a physical wheel on a video feed, and there is no shared table or live chat with a dealer. What we offer instead is a focused set of RNG virtual table games — blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, pai gow and video poker — that settle instantly against the software, run on a published house edge, and are played solo at your own pace. If a streamed human dealer is essential to your enjoyment, that is genuinely not something we provide, and you would be better served looking elsewhere rather than expecting it from us.
They are, and the fairness simply lives in a different place. On a virtual table it comes from the random number generator rather than a person you can see deal. RTG and SpinLogic submit that engine for independent testing, and the verified result is that outcomes are unpredictable, evenly distributed and entirely unaffected by previous rounds. The casino's long-run margin is the published house edge built into each game's rules — the same mathematical structure a physical table carries — not any hidden manipulation behind the scenes. A tested RNG is actually held to a stricter, measurable randomness standard than any human dealer could meet. So a short losing run is normal variance over a small sample, and nothing is ever "due" to land, rather than a sign the game has turned against you.
European and American roulette, multi-hand and single-hand blackjack, baccarat, craps, pai gow poker, and a rack of video poker variants such as Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild — all in their RNG form.
Yes. Most virtual tables include a demo mode with play-money chips, so you can learn the rules and controls at no cost. Wins in demo are not real and cannot be withdrawn.
No. Every Fair Go table is instant play in the browser, so there is nothing to install. The same titles work on Android, iPhone, tablet and desktop, all sharing one AUD account.
It comes down to the software we run. RealTime Gaming and SpinLogic specialise in RNG game design rather than live studio streaming, so live-dealer tables simply are not part of their offering, and by extension not part of ours. We could partner-talk our way around that, but it would misrepresent how your bets are settled. Our honest position is that we do RNG virtual tables and pokies well, in AUD, with instant browser access and 24/7 live chat — and if a streamed croupier is what you are after, we point you elsewhere rather than pretend we have one.
