Open almost any live casino lobby and you see the same picture: rows of blackjack, roulette and baccarat tables, topped with a few game shows. These games earn their place, but they also mean that every operator competes for players with identical content.
Less familiar live formats can break that pattern. The five games below come from established studios and cover dice, two-wheel roulette, keno, a money wheel and a lottery draw. Each one gives players a reason to spend a little longer in your live section.
Why lesser-known live games deserve a place
Niche live titles help an operator in three ways:
- Differentiation. A lobby with formats that competitors do not feature looks curated rather than copied.
- New audiences. Dice, keno and lottery games reach players the classic tables miss, including fans of traditional Asian dice games and regular lottery players.
- Better use of traffic. Spreading players across more game types reduces dependence on a handful of headline tables.
Live Sic Bo by Microgaming
Evolution leads the live casino market, but other studios have built strong niches beside it. Microgaming, one of the pioneers of online and mobile gambling, produced a live version of the three-dice game Sic Bo, streamed in HD from its own studio. Players bet on totals, combinations or specific dice results, while multilingual dealers keep the rounds moving quickly and the atmosphere relaxed.
Why add it: Sic Bo has a loyal following in Asian markets and gives dice players a live alternative to RNG versions.
Roulette Double Wheel by Authentic Gaming
Authentic Gaming broadcasts this roulette variant live from Malta. Two wheels spin in the same round, so players get two results to win on instead of one. Several cameras cover the table from every angle, which keeps the action easy to follow on any screen size.
Why add it: it gives regular roulette players a fresh twist without new rules to learn. Check the provider's rules sheet for exact payouts and the return to player before you promote it.
Live Keno by Ezugi
Ezugi streams its live keno from a dedicated studio in San José, Costa Rica. The game covers a wide range of stake sizes with high potential payouts, and the croupiers chat with players while they pick their numbers. Anyone who would rather not choose can use the Pick for Me option, which selects numbers at random.
Why add it: keno is often missing from live lobbies, yet it suits players who enjoy lottery-style games with a human host.
Topwheel Treasures by Evolution for Casumo
Topwheel Treasures shows how far branded live content can go. Evolution built it in partnership with Casumo as a successor to its money-wheel game show Dream Catcher. Players bet on where the wheel will stop, and the simple format makes it an easy first step into live games for newcomers. The game has an RTP of 96.58% and a default maximum payout of $500,000.
Why it matters: operators with enough scale can commission their own version of a proven live format and offer content no competitor has.
Lucky 6 by BetGames.TV
Lucky 6 from BetGames.TV blends a traditional lottery draw with live presentation. Players have up to five minutes to place their bets before the next draw, and the longest-odds bets pay up to 90:1.
Why add it: lottery formats run on a fixed schedule, so they bring players back at regular intervals and sit naturally next to a sportsbook.

Building a broader live lobby
Unusual formats work best as a layer on top of the classics, not as a replacement for them. Keep blackjack, roulette and baccarat at the front of the lobby, add a dedicated row for dice, keno, wheels and lottery draws, and support it with tournaments or targeted bonuses.
Our Live Casino Bundle connects tables from several live studios through one integration, so niche formats can sit beside the headline games without extra development work. For a wider view of the market, read our overview of live casino providers, or contact our team to plan your live lobby.
