William Hill Live Casino

Overview

Introduction to the William Hill Live Casino

I’ve been aware of William Hill for as long as I can remember. I think the first time i stepped into one of their high street betting shops was over 30 years ago when I placed my first bet on the Grand National. Unfortunately it didn’t end well, my first foray cost me £4, my £2 each way bet falling at the Canal Turn! Fast forward 30 years and I’m still gaming with William Hill. This time I’m doing it online and I’m now drawn to their online live casino products, as I like to play card games and in particular Blackjack. 3 Card Poker and Roulette also see a bit of my money, but Blackjack is where I feel at home.

William Hill have two Live Casinos, a trend that other online casinos also follow, but what makes William Hill different is the mix they have chosen. They are the only ones to my knowledge that use both Evolution And Playtech live casino software. They just happen to be the two market leading products so if you’re going to chose two, they are probably the best two to have on your books.

Live Casino Games

William Hill haven’t given their live casinos names so I’ll have to refer to them as the Playtech one and the Evolution one. Both are located in different sections of their website, the Evolution Live casino can be found on the home page under the Live casino menu option. The Playtech Live Casino is hidden away under the Casino tab and is listed under one of the games or on the side bar.

The Vegas tab, which is a fairly recent addition on the home page also has individual links to Vegas branded Live Blackjack and Live Roulette tables at the Evolution live casino.

Evolution Live casino

William Hill have invested heavily in their Evolution live casino solution to the extent of having their very own private area at Evolution’s studios in Riga, Latvia. They have dedicated tables for all of the games and offer multiple dedicated blackjack tables with a huge range of stake options. This is in addition to the general play tables offered by Evolution. You’ll also find dedicated roulette tables in English, German, Swedish & Polish and uniquely the ability to wage up to £500,000 on a single spin at Roulette!

Blackjack

Loads of dedicated & general play tables all offering 8 deck, 7 seat blackjack played under Vegas rules (dealer has two cards). You can double on any card and split aces (one card on each). Blackjack side bets of bet behind, Perfect Pairs and 21+3 are available on all tables.

3 Card Poker

The most recent live casino game to be added. There are two tables, one dedicated and the other a general play table. Stakes from £1 – £10k on each table and both offer the 6 Card Bonus side bet.

Game	Stakes	Dedicated

Casino Holdem

Another one to many game. Again, two tables to choose from one dedicated one not , with different stakes ranges on each. Wager from 0.50 to £7,500.

Game	Stakes	Dedicated
WH Casino Holdem	0.50 - 1,500
Casino Holdem	0.50 - 7,500

Playtech Live Casino

Not so much investment has been made on the Playtech Live Casino. The Evolution solution is obviously where the effort is being put and it feels like they have kept the Playtech version on to keep the original live casino players happy. Stakes across all the games are very low and there are no dedicated tables.

Blackjack

There is both 7 seat and unlimited blackjack. Stakes range between 2.50 and 100.00. Vegas rules are used in an 8 deck game. You can Bet Behind and play the Perfect Pairs side bet.

Game	Stakes	Seats	Bet Behind	Perfect Pairs	21+3	Dedicated
Unlimited Blackjack	2.50 - 25	5
7 Seat Blackjack	2.50 - 100	7

Roulette

A good selection of roulette tables to choose from. Speed Roulette is the latest addition with betting time limited to 10 seconds, which put s the game in line with its RNG counterparts. There is French Roulette with La Partage and Slingshot roulette which is an real wheel spun by a computer which gives much faster games without a live dealer.

Game	Stakes	Single / Multi View	La Partage	Dedicated
Speed Roulette	0.10 - 50	Single
Exclusive Roulette	0.10 - 50	Single
Roulette	0.10 - 50	Single
Slingshot	0.10 - 50	Single
French Roulette	0.10 - 50	Single

Baccarat

Baccarat is are offered in two versions. Mini Baccarat, which is a one to many game and is designed with a single player view. Normal Baccarat is multi player. One hand is dealt but 7 players can be seated at the table. Pairs and Big / Small side bets can be played at both tables.

Game	Stakes	Single or Multi Seat	Pairs	Big / Small	Dedicated
Mini Baccarat	2 - 100	Single
Baccarat	2.50 - 25	Multi - 7

Casino Holdem

One deck is used to play this popular version of Texas Holdem. It’s a one to many game with stakes starting from 0.50 to 50.00.

Game	Stakes	Dedicated
Casino Holdem	0.50 - 50

Customer Support

William Hill provide customers with support on a 24×7 basis. All the normal methods for contacting them are available, Email, Phone and Live Chat. I also try and use Live chat when I can as you normally get a quicker response and you have a permanent record of the conversation if you can remember to save it at the end. The chat option is only available if you’re logged on so you have to register if you want to ask a question.

There is an extensive help database and a FAQ where the more common queries have been documented.

If I’m honest the support wasn’t what I’d call outstanding. It was efficient and effective and I got my queries dealt with.

Bonus Information

If you’re attracted by bonuses then William Hill actually allow their bonuses to be used at their Live Casinos.

The Evolution Casino has regular bonuses, so it’s worth visiting the promotions page to see what the latest offerings are.

Banking

A whole range of banking methods can be used to deposit. You’ll find a full list above.  Unfortunately a recent change to the withdrawal process is a mandatory 24hr pending period, during which you can reverse your withdrawal. Otherwise your money will just sit there until it is processed and you can expect it to hit your card / bank some 3-5 days later. A bit pants if you ask me.

Summary

The William Hill Live Casino is one of the best out there.They offer two, but the far superior of them is the Evolution Gaming Casino where you’ll find loads of dedicated tables and stakes to suit everyone. The game range is also impressive and you’ll never have to wait for a seat. Apart from the extended withdrawal times (which to be fair are fairly standard), you’ll struggle to find anywhere that competes with William Hill.
