Live baccarat software for your own tables
elite is a live baccarat technology provider, not an operator. You own the tables, the studio and the dealers: dealers deal as usual, round results reach elite from a dealer tablet or another result source, and your studio pushes its video. elite supplies the rest of the live baccarat system — desktop and mobile game screens, betting and bet limits, settlement, a transfer wallet API, bet records and the back office (the Console) — and charges a table fee plus streaming, with no revenue share.
Variants and bets
| Variant or bet | Rule |
|---|---|
| Classic | Banker wins pay 0.95 to 1 |
| No-commission | Banker wins pay 1 to 1, except 0.5 to 1 when the banker wins with 6 |
| Super 6 | A bet on the banker winning with 6, offered with no-commission |
| Tie, banker pair, player pair | Available on every table |
| Competitive squeeze | The top Player bettor squeezes the Player cards and the top Banker bettor squeezes the Banker cards, each against a timer; each merchant's players get their own squeeze room, a side nobody bet on opens right away, and the round settles once all squeezing ends |
On your own tables you choose classic, no-commission or both under Variants in the table settings. In the same place you can turn on competitive squeeze and set the Player/Banker and third-card squeeze times; the dealer then deals face down and turns the physical cards over only after the on-screen squeeze ends, before starting the next round. Default payouts are in Tables & round results.
How round results get in
Video and results travel separately: elite never reads cards from the video. Each table is linked to one result source, which you can change later.
| Result source | How it works |
|---|---|
| Dealer tablet with a card-reading shoe | Each card is sent as it leaves the shoe; keyboard-mode (HID) and serial readers both work |
| Dealer tablet with manual entry | No reader needed: the dealer enters each card on the tablet |
| EWIN AI VISION | IP cameras read the cards, so no card reader is needed; a separate service that uses your own account and API key |
| RoadMapServer | An advanced feature for operators that already have a RoadMapServer merchant account |
| Your own results system (GFI) | Push signed round, card and result events over WebSocket or HTTPS; self-service in the Console |
Whatever the source, elite checks each result against the cards and the third-card rules before it settles. If the source goes down, the table stops taking bets at once, and a round still without a result 10 minutes after betting closed is voided and refunded.
The baccarat dealer tablet
The dealer tablet is a web app you install from the Console (Table → Dealer tablet download) on an Android tablet, an iPad, or Chrome or Edge on a computer, then pair to a table with a one-time code or QR code.
- It shows where the next card goes, including whether the player or the banker draws a third card. The dealer checks the cards against the screen and taps Confirm result; the platform works out the winner.
- It handles shoes of 1–8 decks, burn cards and the cut card.
- Mistakes are fixed on the tablet: undo the last card, enter a card by hand, void the round or correct it after settlement. Voids and corrections need a supervisor PIN, and corrected bets reach you as a new revision through bet sync.
- One tablet controls the table; others stay read-only and take over if it disconnects.
- Every tablet action is logged for 30 days for dispute reviews. The tablet screens are in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English.
What players see
- Desktop and mobile game screens with live card reveals, all five road maps and road predictions.
- A player interface in nine languages, with your logo in the lobby, at the table and on loading screens.
- Bet limits per currency: bet-limit profiles for each currency you enable (ten are supported), chosen per table or assigned to a player through the API.
Video: WHIP in, WebRTC out
Your studio pushes each table to elite over WHIP — from OBS Studio 30 or later, or any WHIP-capable hardware encoder — as two feeds, one for desktop and one for mobile. elite delivers them over low-latency WebRTC, so you need no CDN of your own, and players receive exactly the quality you push.
- Suggested settings: a 1-second keyframe interval, 16:9, about 3 Mbps for desktop and 1.5 Mbps for mobile.
- Keep the cards and the dealer's hands in the top two-thirds of the picture; on desktop the betting panel and road maps cover the bottom.
- Push URLs, the push key and OBS settings: see Pushing video.
Pricing
- Table fee: a flat monthly price for each table offered to players, charged by the day.
- Streaming: per GB your players actually watch. Pushing is not billed, and nothing is billed while nobody watches; one viewer-hour at about 3 Mbps is roughly 1.35 GB.
- Both are deducted daily from prepaid credit, with no revenue share, setup fee or minimum.
- The free Demo plan lets you build and test tables first; its video is limited to 3 viewers at a time and its games carry a demo watermark.
Current prices and a streaming cost estimate are in the pricing section of the official site; worked examples are in Going live and costs.
How to start
- Sign up — self-service, with no sales call or manual review.
- Add a baccarat table in the Console under Table → Table management → My tables; it starts in Maintenance.
- Choose the result source. For the dealer tablet, pair a tablet and set the supervisor PIN.
- Push the desktop and mobile feeds.
- Rehearse in maintenance: the tablet runs rounds and results are recorded, but no bets are taken.
- Set the bet-limit profiles and the betting time (5–120 seconds), then set the table to Open.
- Bring your players in through the API or a branded login site.

FAQ
Do I need a card-reading shoe?
No. The dealer can enter every card on the tablet, or EWIN AI VISION can read the cards with its cameras. With a card-reading shoe, each card is sent automatically as it leaves the shoe.
Can I keep my existing results system?
Yes, if it can push events in elite's GFI format: turn on Accept pushes in the Console for a source ID and HMAC key, and test your events with the GFI event validator. A RoadMapServer merchant account can also be connected as an advanced feature.
What happens when a card is misread?
Before confirming, the dealer undoes the card and scans or enters the right one. After settlement, the dealer corrects the cards with the supervisor PIN and the round is settled again; a round that cannot be fixed is voided and refunded. Corrections from other result sources apply automatically within 30 minutes of settlement; later ones leave the result unchanged and mark the round disputed.
Does elite take a share of revenue?
No. You pay the table fee and streaming only, however much your players bet.
Which other games can my studio run?
Dragon tiger, live Texas Hold'em and Niu Niu, on the same Console, API and billing; see Live dragon tiger, Hold'em and Niu Niu, How to set up a live casino studio and the platform overview.
