William Hill Live Casino Review – Playtech + Evolution – UKGC, MGA, GGC Licenses – Big Brand + Big Bonuses + Big Bets!

William Hill needs no introduction, and I am pretty excited about this review because I get to give you my opinion as a longtime member. As a member, you will have access to an online casino, live casino, online poker, bingo, and sports betting brand that stretches across all continents. In particular, the William Hill brand is famous in the UK, Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand, and South Africa. It is one of the largest and most exciting online gambling sites and certainly one of the most trustworthy. As a member, you have guaranteed safety, unlimited withdrawals, and the chance to win, bet, or bet on a budget.

• Playtech Live Games
• Evolution Live Games
• Pragmatic Play Live Games

During this live casino review, I will walk you through available Playtech and Evolution live games, including min-max bets. You will also learn about virtual table games, the Vegas casino and bingo to know which slots, tables, and jackpots are available. However, I won’t go into detail about sports betting or online poker. These two online gambling verticals are also available under the same membership as your live casino account.

William Hill has a brilliant selection of bonus deals for live casino players. Naturally, I will focus the bonus section in this review on some of these offers. Other areas that you may feel are important include the casino’s licensing, customer service/language options, responsible gambling tools, mobile casino options (app downloads + web browser gameplay), and payment/withdrawal solutions that accept EUR, CAD, GBP, and USD.

Welcome Bonus & Virtual Table Games Welcome Bonus + Daily Drop Bonus (No Specific Live Casino Bonus)

There is a generic welcome bonus offer that covers slots and some virtual tables games but oddly excludes live games. However, the bonus T&Cs exclude live dealer games. Below, I have outlined the bonus offer and the rules that go with the bonus. It is not the best bonus out there if you are a live casino player, but at least it includes some virtual table games if you don’t mind switching to RNG play for a while. However, if you are a blackjack player, then you’ll want to skip the bonus altogether.

• Welcome Bonus: 100% Deposit up to GB£-CA$-US$-EU€ 300 on your ‘First Deposit’. The minimum deposit to participate is £-$-€ 10. The bonus money balance is then valid for 7 days. The bonus is available in Pound Sterling, Euros, US Dollars and/or Canadian Dollars. However, deposits using eWallets cannot participate in this promotion. The live casino UK bonus is the same as the Canada and Ireland welcome bonus offers.

When you receive your bonus money, it will head into a ‘bonus balance’ while your real money will head into a ‘real money’ balance. For example, if you deposit £-$-€ 100, you will have a £-$-€ 200 balance with £-$-€ 100 in each balance. To convert that £-$-€ 100 over to the real money balance, you will need to play through the wagering requirement, which is 40x i.e., £-$-€ 100 x 40 = £-$-€ 4,000. In other words, you will need to win £-$-€ 3,900 from your £-$-€ 100 bonus and bet the £-$-€ 3,900 winnings + your £-$-€ 100 and William Hill will convert your bonus into real money. If you go on an amazing hot streak, you can convert up to £-$-€ 2,000 into real money.

Game weights are as follows (these weights only apply to games under the ‘Casino Tab’:

• All slot games – 100%
• All Pai Gow & casino Hold’em games – 25%
• All roulette games – 0% to 50%
• All baccarat, craps, sic bo & Stravaganza – 20%
• All video poker – 5%
• All Blackjack & Hi-Lo” games – 0%

Daily Drop Bonus–Win cash, free spins, or credits (UK Only)

All members can take part in the ‘Bonus Drop’ daily. When you log on, you will have a ‘Bonus Drop’ ready. You will need to drop a disc which will produce 1 of 3 results. (1) Win (2) No Win (3) Retry. Winners will receive free spins, a free bonus for slots or tables, or a cash prize. Winning the cash prize is perfect for live casino players as you can use it for any Evolution or Playtech table or game show title.

Important: Always double-check the bonus T&Cs. At the time of this William Hill live casino review, all information was accurate, but the casino can change its promos or T&Cs at any time. Changes to look for and compare with the bonus information in this section include (1) Bonus amount (2) Wagering requirement (3) Max bonus to cash conversion (4) Max bonus bets (5) Bonus expiry.

William Hill Live Casino Table Games from The Best – Playtech & Evolution

In the William Hill live casino lobby, there are games from Playtech, Pragmatic Play, and Evolution live dealer brands. Evolution has the largest collection of live game titles while Playtech follows closely behind. In the live casino iGaming arena, no other brand has more titles than these two. Below, I will briefly go through the live table games currently available. And before I begin, the William Hill live casino in Canada does not always allow access to Evolution titles. Not to worry because Playtech has more than enough live dealer titles. Check it out…

• Live Blackjack: Blackjack players have over 20 different variants of blackjack to sift through. With this army of variants available, you should be able to find a table with your preferred blackjack rules. One of the most liberal live blackjack tables when it comes to favourable rules is the Free Bets Blackjack option, which comes with free double downs and splits in exchange for even odds paid on blackjack. Also, quite important is that there are rarely any queues because there are so many tables and single-seat tables with unlimited technology allowing an unlimited number of players. Min bets start at £-€ 1.00 or $ 2.00 and the stakes move up to and over £-$-€ 15,000 max bets.
• Live Roulette: Roulette players have as much choice as blackjack players when it comes to variety, and you never have to queue as these tables host an unlimited number of players. Look out for WH Sports Roulette for starters. Then, if you are looking to win big, play Mega Fire Blaze Roulette Live or Age of the Gods Roulette (Age of the Gods average jackpot is £-$-€ 500k). Then there are multiplier games like Quantum Roulette and the Game of the Year at the EGR Operator Awards 2018 Lightning Roulette, whereby you stand the chance of winning 500x multipliers. Other notable live roulette titles include Single Zero Roulette, Football Roulette, and Double Ball Roulette. You can also play on land-based roulette tables via the Dual Play options connecting you to casino floors in London, Malta, and more. Min bets start at £-€ 0.10 or $ 0.20. If you hit the VIP or Salon Privé table, the stakes move up to £-$-€ 15,000 per coup.
• Live Baccarat: Playtech and Evolution have quite the baccarat collection. Mini Baccarat, Prestige Baccarat, Golden Dragon Baccarat, Baccarat 7 Seat, Progressive Baccarat, Dragon Tiger, Multi-Camera Baccarat, Live Baccarat Control Squeeze, Speed Baccarat, No Commission Baccarat, and Baccarat Multiplay. For multipliers and bonus wins while playing baccarat, the best titles are Golden Wealth Baccarat, Red Envelope Baccarat, and Lightning Baccarat. And for high stakes tables, check out Salon Privé and/or VIP Baccarat where max bets are over £-$-€ 15,000. As for minimum bets, expect to pay at least £-€ 1.00 or $ 2.00 per bet at its lowest.
• Live Poker: Poker card sharks that want to test their skills versus the house or learn different variations of poker will be delighted with the collection at William Hill. Some of the exciting poker titles you will find are Casino Hold’em, 2 Hand Casino Hold’em, Heads Up Hold’em, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, 3-Card Brag, Three Card Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker, Live Casino Stud Poker, Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker, First Five Jackpot Side Bet, and Side Bet City. Most of these tables operate using unlimited technology, so there are no queues even in peak times. Min bets are £-€ 0.50 or $ 1.00 and max bets can be up to and over £-$-€ 15,000 per bet.
• Live Dice & Other: Evolution’s live dice titles include Live Craps, plus Live Super Sic Bo and Lightning Dice titles, both of which have the potential to land you up to 1,000x multipliers. Also, an interesting game is Fan Tan on which you bet on beads–it’s very popular in Asia. For Playtech, the only dice title in its collection is Sic Bo Deluxe, which comes with some interesting multipliers. Hi-Lo and Sette e Mezzo are also in the live casino lobby. Bets on dice titles start at around £-€ 0.50 or $ 1.00 and max bets are £-$-€ 5,000 per betting round.

Do you want to avoid queues? William Hill has exclusively branded live blackjack & roulette tables only available to customers of the casino. Adding to this, there are several mechanisms in place to avoid queues. Unlimited technology means that the game accepts an unlimited number of players. This applies to most baccarat and all roulette tables. For blackjack tables with no queuing necessary, look for Unlimited Blackjack, All Bets Blackjack, and Infinite Blackjack.

Live Game Shows–Wheel of Fortune, TV Quiz & Game Shows–Live Slots, Lottery & Bingo

Live game shows are just so enjoyable that even hardened blackjack players, speaking for myself here, can’t help but head over to game shows. And at William live casino, there’s an enticing selection of game shows that I often play just for a warmup or after a long session grinding on the blackjack tables. Here’s the full lowdown on game shows available when I wrote this William Hill live casino review.

• Wheel of Fortune: Spin the wheel and land multipliers, enter bonus rounds with up 50,000x multipliers, and be entertained by fun live game shows, hosts and animations. Dreamcatcher, Spin ‘A’ Win, Adventures Beyond Wonderland, Money Drop, Monopoly Live, and Crazy Time. All spins and results are manual and there is a community chat area for social gaming. In addition to this, Pragmatic Play Live game shows include Mega Wheel, Sweet Bonanza Candyland, Boom City, Snakes and Ladders, and Vegas Ball Bonanza with more to come.
• Live Slots: Playtech has ‘Age of the Gods God of Storms’ and ‘Buffalo Blitz’ live slot titles. You can zoom in via a webcam and there is a game host commenting on the spins while also answering player comments on the community chat. Simply place your bets, from £-€ 0.10/$ 0.20 to £-$-€ 40 per spin. Select how many spins you want to play and let the fun roll in.
• Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt: Originating from the Gonzo’s Quest video slot collection, the Aztec explorer now has a live game title available via webcam or in VR. An animated Gonzo character (the star of the show) and game presenter team up to give you the chance to win 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 20x and 65x multipliers by hunting down Aztec treasures. And if a Prize Drop lands, you could win up to 20,000x your bet.
• Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Playtech’s remake of the world-famous game is exactly like sitting in the hot seat. Answer your questions correctly, and you move to the next level. If you get to the top level, you can win 2,000x your bet in multipliers.
• Deal or No Deal: Choose to play Deal or No Deal by Evolution or Deal or No Deal: The Big Draw. In one, you will need to refuse or accept offers for amounts in a briefcase, while ‘The Big Draw’ version mixed in lottery gameplay!
• Cash or Crash & Mega Ball: These bingo/lotto live games have the potential to payout massive multipliers. Climb the 20-step incremental paytable in a lotto-style game that could win you up to 50,000x your bet. Or play bingo on Mega Ball. Buy bingo cards and cross off numbers that could come with multipliers and win you up to 1,000,000x your bet!
• EveryBody’s Jackpot: A huge game show title in which ‘Everybody’ shares the jackpot when it triggers. The winner gets 50%, while all other players that placed a bet at the time of the jackpot share the other 50%.

 Affordable Game Shows: Live game shows are some of the most affordable online casino games around. They all use unlimited technology, so there is no limit to the number of players at any one time, to which there are usually thousands thanks to bets that start as low as £-€ 0.10/$ 0.20 per go.

Video Slots, Sports Betting, Virtual Sports, Bingo, Virtual Tables & Vegas Casino

Aside from ‘Live Casino’ William Hill has ‘Sports’, ‘Casino’, ‘Vegas’, ‘Bingo’, and ‘Poker’ menu options. That’s a lot to cover because as you can imagine, each of these areas offers a whole new set of virtual games, betting options, and so on. However, I will do my best to briefly give you an idea of what you will find under each.

• Video Slots: Slots from Microgaming, Playtech, Pragmatic Play, Yggdrasil, Play’N Go, BetSoft, and other top brands. Play Megaways, Infinity Reels, 248-way, 1024-ways, 2048-ways, and 4096-ways to win slots, cluster pays, and pay line slots with classic 1 line to monstrous 100 pay line titles. All these slots come with themes based on just about any genre you can think of. Sports, Pirates, Egypt, Movies, TV series, Celebrities, and more.
• Jackpot Slots: William Hill hosts Playtech’s popular Age of the Gods jackpot network, which contains 20+ progressive jackpot titles, Mega Moolah, WowPot, and Red Tiger slots. In the jackpot section, choose from Vegas Millions, Must Drop Jackpots, Progressive Jackpots, or Jumbo Jackpots. There’s a Vegas Millions jackpot, Royal Jackpot, Big Drop Jackpot, and Hourly Jackpot all under the jackpot section. Also, check out the William Hill exclusive Link & Win and William Hill Megaways progressive jackpot titles!
• Table Games: One of the best spots for table games is the ‘Vegas’ menu option. Here you will come across over 200 tables with multiple variants of blackjack, roulette, baccarat, poker, video poker, and other popularly played online casino titles.
• Bingo: The William Hill bingo section is jam-packed with various bingo titles, jackpot opportunities (Age of the Gods), and bingo games scheduled to play. Options include ‘Specials’, ’75-ball’, ’80-ball’ or ’90-ball’ bingo games.
• Poker: Play multi-table online poker versus players from around the world. Buy-in tournaments with guaranteed prize pools, multi-table tournaments, play Sit’n Go tables, cash games, and even win tickets to the WSOP and other big poker events via satellite tournaments.
• Sports: You can bet on just about any sports market online using pre-odds markets, or you can use the live in-play betting interface which gives you odds in real-time as the action unfolds in sports games. You will also find that William Hill has several virtual sports markets you can stake.

One account, one balance, all verticals: When you sign up for a William Hill live casino account and deposit, you have access to all these verticals. You do not need a separate account or balance. You use the same balance to wager live games, slots, sports betting, online poker, and or bingo.

English Language Live Dealers–English + French Casino Interface–Multilingual Live Dealer Tables

English-speaking countries like the UK, Ireland, Canada, and New Zealand will be right at home, while multi-lingual options are also available for South Africa (English), Canada (French), and India (English). There is the main casino interface language that you can adjust to, and there are live dealer tables with dealers and croupiers that host the game in languages other than English.

• Live Dealers/Croupiers: Many of the roulette tables and a few other games come with dealers or croupiers hosting the game in languages other than English. You will find tables on which the dealer or croupier speaks English, French, Turkish, Arabic, Italian, Swedish, German, Finish, Norwegian, Russian, Flemish, Spanish, Japanese, Danish, and Romanian.
• Casino Interface: The language settings for the casino are English, English-Irish, English-Canadian, French, German, Polish, and Japanese. It is great to see focused pages for live casinos in Ireland and Canada.

Note: You can only change the casino interface language. As for live tables, the dealer, croupier or live game host’s language is not configurable. Therefore, if you are French Canadian and you are looking for a table with a French-speaking croupier or dealer, you will need to find a table on which the game host is speaking French. The same applies to all other languages.

Award-Winning Live Dealer Software Platforms–Playtech + Evolution

In the games section of this William Hill live casino review, we introduced you to Playtech and Evolution live games. These are the two leading live casino software platforms online today. Evolution is slightly ahead with 70+ titles while Playtech has 45+ and counting. No other live dealer brand comes close, although Pragmatic Play Live is pushing on. However, at the time I wrote this review, only Evolution and Playtech games were available.

• Playtech: One of the largest iGaming brands online today, Playtech is the UK’s pioneer of online gambling and live dealer gaming. It has 4 live dealer studios, 2 in the USA, 1 in Manila Philippines, and another in Riga, Latvia. The firm holds UKGC, Gibraltar, and Alderney online gambling licenses and is a London Stock Exchange (LSE) company listed as Playtech PLC. You can learn more about the Playtech live dealer platform here.
• Evolution: Evolution has long been the leader in live casino gaming software. The brand launched in 2006 and never looked back quickly overtaking its competitors. It is the most decorated live casino brand picking up multiple industry awards every year. The brand took down the SBC Award for Innovation in Casino Entertainment in 2019, 2020, and 2021 as well as the Live Casino Supplier of the Year for twelve years (to 2021) running at the EGR B2B Awards. You can learn more about the Evolution live dealer platform here.

Both brands have nearly all tables available 24/7 and 365 days a year. You will stream games via Ultra-HD webcams that connect you to real live tables with fully trained and very professional croupiers, dealers, and game show hosts. Each host has his/her own personality, some fun, some serious, and more so you can find your perfect match. On top of this, the betting software is smooth to use, and many of the games come with additional tools such as history, enable racetrack, and more.

Playtech Only (Canada): Players in Canada may find that Evolution live games are not available. This is because of local licensing, but not to worry. You still have over 45 Playtech live titles to play with its game selection just as fulfilling as Evolution titles.

William Hill is one of the largest sports betting operators in the world. Its US operations are owned in part by Las Vegas casino giant, Caesar Entertainment, with 888 Holdings owning the non-US assets, which is this casino. As well as sports betting, William Hill also offers casino gaming, with both being available to play via browser or mobile app.

• Android & iOS App: The app is available via the Apple App Store or Google Play where you can register and easily make transactions. The latest app from William Hill is clever and fast.

Any disputes that you feel William Hill’s support team is not solving satisfactorily, you can contact the licensing complaints team, and your complaint will 100% be reviewed. Other advantages to this combo of licenses are that the casino abides by the 10-steps-to-cyber-security, a separate bank account to William Hill’s operations stores the total all player account balances, support must answer complaints by law, and all T&Cs outlined on the website are binding.

Responsible Gambling Software: The above licensing authorities insist any live casino under its framework must provide players with access to problem gambling support.
