Summary
Smartlivecasino.com is an online casino with a difference - you place your bets online and then you can watch the games streamed live over the net to their online casino client, or you can turn on the telly and watch the London-based croupiers live on Sky.
Let's start by taking a look at what Smart Live Casino offer! Smart Live offer dealer-led games of Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat, as well as two live Auto Roulette wheels. This is more than any other TV Casino! You can play all their live games without having to register first, so you can try the games out before you sign up to their website.
The first thing you'll notice on the Smart Live Casino website is a Flash banner telling you what live games they offer, which turns into a link for you to register. When you click the registration page, a very simple form will open where you give a few simple details to open your account. Smart Live don't ask for credit/debit card details when you first sign up. Instead, you enter those details when you make your first deposit. In my opinion, Smart Live's registration process is the easiest of all the channels.
When you make your first deposit, Smart Live Casino will instantly match your deposit by 150% upto the value of £500 - this is the highest match bonus of any TV Casino. Terms and Conditions do apply to your match bonus, but the bonus is in your account immediately if you enter the promotional code.
If you wish to play for free, Smart Live will give you 1,000 fun chips to learn the games. Unlike other casino channels, these chips do not reload when you log out. However, you are able to reload your fun chips up to five times.
Once you log in, you'll notice that the home page has changed. The Flash banner you click to register has changed to display current promotions, and there are now easy links to play Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat.
If, at any point, you need help during the registration process, or any point thereafter, Smart Live Casino offer a Live Chat service on the website from 8am until 10.30pm, and a freephone customer services line 24 hours a day.
Software
The casino software that Smartlivecasino uses for live relaying of the TV feed from the London-based casino studios is solid. When you play other games such as online slots or online blackjack you'll be playing on NetEnt powered casino software.
Games
The main focus of SmartLiveCasino is, for now, roulette, however they plan to introduce blackjack shortly. The televised version roulette exactly mimics the game found in real casinos around Europe. Smart live Casino uses the single zero European wheel, rather than the American double zero version, which shifts the odds slightly in favour of players and away from the house.
Each game is open for two minutes for viewers to place bets and a new number is spun approximately every three minutes. Chips are placed on the table online.
If you want to play other games such as Blackjack live we recommend you check out DublinBet or VCLiveCasino. Both of these sites have better live blackjack and live baccarat tables than Smartlivecasino.
Reputation
Strong - Smart Live Casino and its croupiers are licensed by the Great Britain Gambling Commission.

Our Verdict
Ultimately Smartlivecasino.com is more of a game show than an online casino and the site will appeal to you if you want to be entertained while you play. Although the focus is on roulette and roulette variations, Smart Live Casino also has a fully functional NetEnt powered online casino with a complete suite of table games and online slots.
Smart Live Casino will not be to everyone's taste, but it is entertaining and a must for players who enjoy playing online roulette.
