Inside this SA Gaming review
A baccarat shoe, a road map filling up in the corner, a dealer who has already laid out six cards before you place a chip. Most players meet SA Gaming that way, as one more Asian baccarat table in a casino lobby. Behind it sits a live studio with three regulators, a lab certificate you can open yourself and a catalog of Asian table games that Western studios rarely touch.
This SA Gaming review checks all of that against the documents instead of the marketing. You'll find which SA Gaming live games are worth a seat, which bets give the house the smallest cut and where to play SA Gaming live casino tables for real money. It's written for readers aged 21+.
Who runs SA Gaming
Two companies. SA Technology N.V., registered in Curaçao, owns the brand and the website. SA Entertainment Solutions (Pty) Ltd runs the South African side from Cape Town. No founding year appears anywhere on the site. The studio's August 2026 company profile simply says it has been running live games for more than 17 years. Players in over 100 countries sit at its tables, and the interface speaks 22 languages - Thai and Vietnamese, but also Brazilian Portuguese and Russian.
SA Gaming also has a sister brand. SimplePlay, listed on the same site, handles the slots, crash and fishing games. That leaves SA Gaming free to focus on dealers and tables. Casinos can also order Dedicated Tables in their own colors and run in-game campaigns through the studio's Promotion Suite.
The awards shelf leans toward the last two years. At the SiGMA Awards Asia 2024 it took Best Live Casino Provider. The Asia Gaming Awards added Best Live Dealer Solution that year, and in 2025 SiGMA Africa named it Live Casino Provider Rising Star.
SA Gaming licenses and test labs: what we checked
Logos cost nothing. Register entries and signed documents do. Here is what our team confirmed on 29 October 2026:

Certificate on the GLI site |
The GLI certificate is the most useful line for players. Testing started early. Baccarat, Dragon Tiger, Sic Bo and Roulette passed back in October 2017, and newer games joined the certificate group by group. In August 2023 GLI also audited the live dealer studios themselves - that check covers dealer training and room security rather than the games. SA Gaming also publishes a 2025 functionality report from BMM Testlabs South Africa.
One honest gap: we couldn't find the South African license in a public register, so that line rests on the document SA Gaming publishes. Some review sites also credit the studio with PAGCOR or other Philippine licenses. None of the official sources we checked mention them, so this SA Gaming review leaves them out.
The SA Gaming live game lineup
Twelve SA Gaming live games, and half of them come from Asian casino floors rather than European ones. That's the real difference between SA Gaming and a studio like Evolution Gaming, whose catalog leans on big game shows.

If Pok Deng or Xoc Dia mean nothing to you, that's normal for a European player. Both are quick to learn once a round starts. Watch two or three rounds from the lobby and the betting grid makes sense, since every SA Gaming live casino game shows its last results on screen. The GLI certificate also lists Andar Bahar and Teen Patti 20-20, two Indian card games that casinos can add.
Three SA Gaming tables to start with
SA Gaming points new players to three games. All three have full reviews on GamblerID, so here's the short version.
Baccarat
The flagship, and the reason most players find the studio. On a standard table the dealer lays out six cards before betting opens. Speed tables cut the countdown. No Commission tables pay Banker at 1:1, except for a win on 6 points, which pays half. The Banker bet returns 98.94%, Player 98.76%. Side bets such as Lucky Six and Dragon Bonus pay up to 50x. The full rundown is in our Baccarat SA Gaming Review.
Roulette
It's plain European roulette. One zero on 37 pockets puts the return at 97.30%. You can bet the classic way or by wheel sectors on the racetrack. One table is themed, with dealers in bikinis, which some players will love and others will skip. The Roulette SA Gaming table we reviewed ran from €1 to €20 a spin.
Deluxe Blackjack
The newest of the three and the one with the best return, up to 99.53%. You can make your decision before your turn comes, which keeps the table moving, and doubling after a split is allowed. The Pair side bet pays up to 50x when your first two cards match the dealer's first card in rank and suit. Our Deluxe Blackjack Review walks through the full rules.
Multi-Bet, road maps and other table tools
The interface is where SA Gaming tries hardest to keep baccarat players at the table. Multi-Bet seats you at several tables at once. Its quick version lives in the switch-table menu and places chips across tables without opening each one. Road maps and live stats run on every baccarat table, so regulars can follow the shoe, and there's even an option to tip dealers with gifts in several tiers.
Two newer games stretch the catalog. Boundless Blackjack drops the seat limit, so nobody waits for a free chair, and it made the shortlist for Game of the Year at the SNGS awards in 2026. Carnival Treasure is the studio's first live wheel, and it passed GLI testing in April 2026.
Play SA Gaming for fun and on mobile
Free play is rare with live dealers. Casinos run their tables on real stakes, so most of them don't offer a practice mode for SA Gaming live games at all. The studio does. Its own website has a Play For Fun page behind a captcha. Inside are the real live tables - the same dealers and the same shoe, with free chips instead of money. We tried it ourselves. It's the easiest way to learn the road maps, test Multi-Bet across several tables or sit through a few rounds of Pok Deng before you deposit anywhere.
On a phone, SA Gaming live casino tables open in the browser on iOS and Android, with no app. Pick the interface language before you sit down, because the 22 options include several that most Western studios don't offer. In a 2026 interview the studio also said it is building a Lite Mode for players on slower connections.

Pledoo tops the list on both score and withdrawal limits. It belongs to Momus2006 N.V., the same company behind Bet It All. CosmicSlot asks for €20 but sets clear daily caps. Cristal Poker stands out for its Anjouan license, while the other four are licensed in Curaçao. At BetAndYou you'll also find SimplePlay games, so moving from a baccarat table to a slot doesn't mean changing sites.
Each casino sets its own table limits. The same SA Gaming live dealer table can open at €1 on one site and higher on another. For more options, our Live Casinos list ranks sites by their dealer games, and the Live Baccarat Casinos page narrows it down to baccarat.
Betting tips that fit SA Gaming tables
Choose your bet first, then your table. Banker on SA Gaming baccarat returns 98.94%, and Player sits just behind at 98.76%. Tie is a different story. At 85.64%, more than 14 cents of every euro staked on it goes to the house. Side bets follow the same pattern, so enjoy one now and then without making it a routine.
Multi-Bet speeds everything up. Run five tables and you play five times as many hands per minute - and a bad run costs five times as much. If you use it, set one budget for the whole session before the first deal.
Blackjack players get the best return in the SA Gaming live dealer lineup with Deluxe Blackjack, but only with basic strategy. If you want more seats to choose from, the Live Blackjack Casinos page covers sites with several blackjack studios. On roulette, the Live Roulette Casinos page lists more European wheels if the €20 cap on our reviewed table feels low.
Our verdict
SA Gaming earns its place as a specialist. All three licenses trace back to a regulator or a signed document, and GLI has tested both the games and the studios. On the baccarat tables, the Banker bet returns 98.94%. The Asian games set it apart: Thai HiLo, Pok Deng and Xoc Dia are hard to find at Western studios.
What it lacks is the show. There's one live wheel and no game shows on the scale of the big Western studios, and the table limits on our reviewed roulette and blackjack games stop at €20. Try the tables on the Play For Fun page first, then compare SA Gaming with other Game Providers on GamblerID before you play for real money. More card tables sit on the Real Money Games page.
