At a live table you see a person, and that is exactly what tempts you to think the person is what matters. What matters is the rule fixed before the first card.
Roulette: one zero or two
The European wheel with a single zero carries a house edge of 2.7%; the American wheel with a double zero carries 5.26%. Same table, same hand, same ball — and almost twice the expected value against the player. Choosing the American wheel when both are available is not bad luck; it is a choice.
Blackjack: 3:2 or 6:5
If a table pays blackjack at 3:2, the house edge with correct basic play is small; if the same table pays 6:5, it rises by roughly 1.4 percentage points. Other rule details push the same way: whether the dealer hits soft 17, whether doubling after a split is allowed, how many decks are in the shoe. All of it is posted at the table before you sit down.
What a dealer cannot do
They cannot influence the outcome, and they do not see your cards any differently than the camera does. "Dealer patterns", "hot tables" and counting sequences off a stream belong to the stories that generate volume and change nothing — the mechanics behind it are the same as on slots, see payout rates.
What you can check at the table
Minimum and maximum stake, the blackjack payout, the soft-17 rule, the number of decks, and whether the table is available for your region at all. In Germany there is also a ban on playing slots and live casino at the same time — the rules are in gambling rules in Germany and at the German authority. How tier systems reward volume is in VIP tiers, and what loyalty schemes give back is in loyalty schemes, with the arithmetic.

Frequently asked questions
Which roulette is better?
The European single-zero wheel: a 2.7% house edge against 5.26% on the American one. The difference is a choice, not luck.
How do I spot a bad blackjack table?
By a 6:5 payout for blackjack instead of 3:2 — that costs about 1.4 percentage points and is posted at the table.
Can a dealer influence the outcome?
No. They run the round; the wheel, the cards and the rules decide.
