Fresh Deck Studios Provider Review, Details and Rating!DISCLOSURE

While they claim to have a global presence, Fresh Deck Studios does not actually own any studio anywhere. Not that we know of. The company does not provide any information on the facilities they use to stream their games. However, the watchful eyes of players have recognized several tables to belong to Vivo’s portfolio, and we know for a fact that Vivo Gaming maintains production in Varna, Bulgaria and also Georgia, the Philippines and Uruguay (LATAM studio).

Lucky Streak, on the other hand, has studios running in Latvia and Lithuania. The interface of the tables and the background environment is easily matched with existing tables from said companies. If you enter a Fresh Deck Studios lobby and start noticing that the interface is not the same across all games, it should be proof enough that different providers are involved. Yes, there is a central lobby to present the games. But, launching one game after the next reveals the idea of wrapping the live casino offer in a shiny new decorative appearance, with nothing crucially changed at all.

On the official Fresh Deck Studios website, they announced a new games UI launching in 2020. So, they found a way to skin the games and make them appear as they belong to the company’s in-house production. It is not the case. However, someone who does not mind these details and simply wants to play decent live casino games will have no issues with Fresh Deck and how they approach branding. As long as the games reach the players, it’s all good. Of course, the matter of licensing stands. But, knowing that both Vivo and Lucky Streak are reputable vendors, our mind is at peace in this regard. This applies to the dealers, as well. They are professionals and will provide their services in several of the major languages in the important markets of Asia, the Americas, and Europe.

Can we talk about a live games portfolio of Fresh Deck Studios knowing that they do not provide in-house games? They represent a gateway for games produced by others. The games themselves aren’t different from what you would normally encounter with any Lucky Streak or Vivo Gaming lobby. So, basically, we are presenting games made by someone else rather than developed by FDS per se. Be that as it may, the Fresh Deck Studios platform offers some variety and more than one type of game. If you load the central lobby, you will encounter live dealer blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, with the addition of a Casino Hold’em poker table.

We admit we were skeptical. After researching the brand, we expected the worst. Luckily, we proved ourselves wrong and saw that the games are authentic and take place in real-time, as they should. There are some games with a virtual background, but most of them feature a sizeable studio with multiple tables. Dealers and shufflers walk around the premises and every play session feels right. The dealers are engaging, but not overly chatty. Whether some games take place in different studios or in different areas of the same studio complex is something we couldn’t quite determine, but in the end, we had a solid experience playing the games nonetheless.
