Casinoble Reports: Live vs. RNG – What Canadian Players Really Want in 2025
TORONTO, ON – April 8, 2025 – A new study from Casinoble Canada, a trusted voice in online casino insights, reveals a decisive shift in player preferences: live dealer games are now the top choice for Canadian online gamblers, outpacing traditional RNG (random number generator) formats.
Based on national player behavior and platform data, the Casinoble 2025 Player Preference Report found that 68% of Canadian players prefer live casino games, driven by the desire for realism, human interaction, and greater trust. RNG games, while still widely available, are increasingly viewed as less engaging by today’s mobile-first players.
“Canadian players are gravitating toward experiences that feel more real, more transparent,” said Olivia St-Pierre, SEO Editor at Casinoble. “Live dealer games provide that sense of presence that RNG games can’t replicate — especially in a market as savvy and competitive as Canada.”
Key Findings at a Glance:
- 68% of players choose live dealer games over RNG-based formats.
- Only 24% still prefer RNG-only games — a sharp drop from just two years ago.
- 52% say trust is a leading factor in choosing live games.
- Live Blackjack and Live Baccarat saw a 35% increase in playtime year-over-year.
- 72% of players access live games via mobile — a clear signal to operators on platform optimization.
These insights highlight a major industry pivot. For operators and developers, the message is clear: to stay competitive in Canada’s iGaming landscape, investing in high-quality, mobile-friendly live casino offerings is essential.
“What we’re seeing isn’t a trend — it’s a turning point,” added St-Pierre. “RNG still has a place, but live is leading the charge into the next generation of online gaming.”
