question RNG tables or live dealers for blackjack if you're in Aus?

Just wanted to get a feel for what people are actually playing these days if you like blackjack and you're based here in Aus.

Are most of you sticking to live dealer tables now, or do you still jump on the regular software ones? I have been having a poke around and half the time the game selection looks decent, then you check the rules and it gets a bit ordinary pretty quick.

Main stuff I am trying to work out is which sites have solid table limits, fair rules, and games that run properly on mobile. Also keen to hear if anyone pays attention to things like 3:2 vs 6:5, dealer hitting soft 17, surrender, number of decks, all that sort of thing... or if most people just care whether the table is smooth and the withdrawals are no dramas.

For the live side, are there any providers you reckon are better for Aussies in the arvo/night time? I have seen a few tables that look fine until they get busy, then the stream starts lagging or the seats are full.

Not really chasing bonus chat, more just trying to find out what is actually worth playing and what to avoid. If you have found a decent setup, chuck in what you like about it.

Yep, that stuff matters way more to me than a flashy lobby. I bin 6:5 straight away and still check the rules page every single time because some places sneak in rough settings. Live is good when it runs clean, but I keep drifting back to the regular tables. Curious what others reckon about surrender, feels like plenty of people just skip over it.

I still use both, just depends what I’m doing. On desktop I’ll jump into live because it feels closer to a real table, but on mobile I usually stick with software since I can get through hands quicker and don’t have to wait on a full table. Lately the live seats seem to fill fast in the evening and then it turns into waiting around.

Small tip from me: before you settle in on mobile, open one of the lower tables first and mess with the layout. If the chip buttons are cramped or the rules panel takes three taps to find, I move on. Sounds basic but it saves heaps of frustration once the timer starts.

Do you guys bother with the side bet boxes at all or just blank them out? On phone they chew up so much screen space that I end up more annoyed by the layout than the cards.
