Differences between live TV lottery and online live dealer lottery
This article explains how to play Ezugi’s premium live dealer lottery game which is available exclusively at GdayCasino.com, a leading online casino for Australian gamblers.
Given the nature of how both games are played, there isn’t a great deal of difference between live TV lottery and online live dealer lottery. Unlike RNG (random number generated) lottery games, TV lottery and live dealer games share many similarities because both game formats use a real person handling the lottery draws in real time for a live camera feed. The only major difference is one is delivered via live television, while the other is streamed to a computer via the Internet, and live lottery draws occur on a much more regular basis.
There are some additional benefits to playing online live dealer lottery you won’t find in the televised version. Ezugi’s live dealer lotto has the benefit of being a little more interactive, with a live chat option available. The interface is also customisable, allowing the player to switch between Classic View and Full Screen View.
In the live dealer game, you’ll see the glamorous human croupier standing next to the ball machine waiting for you to place your bets. Click on the corresponding orange and gold numbers valued between one and 49 and when the game starts you’ll get to watch the real handler select the winning numbers in real time, with winning numbers clearly displayed at the bottom of the video feed just like in the televised version.
How to play Ezugi live dealer lottery
Live dealer lotto draws take place every three minutes. To play, you’ll need to have a registered real money account with G’day Casino (unlike RNG games, live dealer games require real money wagers in order to play). G’day Casino accepts deposits in AUD using secure payment methods like Visa, MasterCard, Neteller, Skrill and Paysafecard, with most deposits available immediately.
You’ll find Ezugi’s lottery under the Live Casino game category, where games are available in instant-play mode directly over your Web browser with no additional downloads required. Load the game and use the digital interface under the video stream to customise your bet, selecting six numbers out of a possible 49. When you’re happy with the bet amount and numbers you’ve selected, click ‘place bet’ to lock in your wager.
Another unique feature in Ezugi’s live dealer lottery is the introduction of optional side bets. These side bets not only add an extra layer of excitement to the game, but also the chance to score some great wins even if your lucky lotto numbers aren’t drawn. The additional betting options and their payouts are listed in detail below.
Colour bets
Colour bets are the most straightforward side bets you can make in Ezugi’s live lotto and are as simple as predicting the colour of which balls will be drawn at certain times:
- Mostly gold balls will be drawn – pays 1.9 to 1
- Mostly orange balls will be drawn – pays 1.9 to 1
- All balls drawn will be gold – pays 75 to 1
- All balls drawn will be orange – pays 70 to 1
- First ball drawn will be gold – pays 1.8 to 1
- First ball drawn will be orange – pays 1.7 to 1
- First two balls will be gold – pays 3 to 1
- First two balls will be orange – pays 3 to 1
- First ball will be gold, second ball orange – pays 3 to 1
- First ball drawn will be orange, second ball gold – pays 3 to 1
- First three balls will be the same colour – pays 3 to 1
- Last three balls will be the same colour – pays 3 to 1
Number bets
Number bets get a little more complicated, but are just as unpredictable and lucrative as colour bets:
- One of your chosen numbers will be drawn – pays 7 to 1
- None of your chosen numbers will be drawn – pays 1.02 to 1
- Two of your chosen numbers will be drawn – pays 60 to 1

- The first number drawn will be less than 25, the second will be more than 25 – pays 3 to 1
Sum bets
Sum bets can sound a little confusing and other than the straightforward odds and evens bets, these may only appeal to the more mathematically minded. Regardless of your ability to add up on the spot, sum bets are automatically credited so you can rest assured the computer will do the counting for you and you’ll never miss a win:
- The sum of the entire draw will be an odd number – pays 1.5 to 1
