At 259, Baccarat tables are available across a wide range of bet limits — from low-stakes tables for beginners to VIP tables for seasoned players — all with live video streams from a dedicated studio.
Roulette, Blackjack & Sic Bo

Android App & Mobile Browser Performance
259's live casino is optimised for smaller screens with responsive touch controls. Bet buttons are sized to a set minimum to prevent accidental taps during gameplay.
Android users can download the official app for a more stable experience compared to a browser. iOS users can access the platform via Safari or Chrome with no additional installation required.
Video Streaming at Different Internet Speeds
The platform uses adaptive video compression technology that automatically adjusts stream quality to match your current connection speed. On a standard 4G network, the live dealer video is delivered at a resolution clear enough to read the game table without noticeable lag.
For users in areas with inconsistent signal, the platform automatically reduces stream resolution to keep the game running smoothly without dropping your session.
