How ADM Live Casino Works: Complete Guide for Beginners
Complete ADM live casino guide: how real-dealer streaming works, licensed providers (Evolution, Pragmatic, Playtech), available games and differences from slots.
Gambling is only permitted for those aged 18 and over. Please gamble responsibly. All casinos mentioned in this article are regulated and licensed by ADM (formerly AAMS), the Italian authority that oversees and authorises legal online gambling in Italy. → Verify the licence on adm.gov.it
Live casino lets you play with real dealers in live streaming, from your own devices, on ADM-licensed platforms. It is not a simulation: the cards are physically shuffled, the roulette ball spins on a real table, the Crazy Time wheel is a physical object in a studio in Riga or Malta. This guide explains how the whole system works.
How Live Casino Works Technically
Each live table is broadcast from a physical studio equipped with HD cameras (often 4K), microphones, an optical result recognition system (OCR) and a dedicated broadband connection. The OCR automatically reads the result — roulette number, card value, wheel segment — and transmits it to the casino server in real time.
The player sees the stream via browser or app, places bets within the countdown, and the system calculates the wins automatically based on the OCR result.

What "ADM" Means for Live Casino
ADM is the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli — the Italian authority that issues licenses to online casinos. To operate legally in Italy a casino must have an ADM license (a number recognizable in the URL or the site footer). The integrated live providers must in turn be certified by independent laboratories (eCOGRA, BMM, iTech Labs) that verify the fairness of the games and the correctness of the RNGs.
