FPS-unlocked games are ideal for fast-paced games, like animated slot machines and card-shufflers. Blackjack and roulette demand higher FPS than poker and baccarat. When streaming, most people will not mind an FPS under 30 if the game doesn’t have smooth motion, like in live baccarat. Slots can be streamed at 24 FPS if the studio lights and cameras remain constant throughout the stream. 20 FPS is a bad idea—you start to lose fluidity, unless the game features built-in pauses, like many table-game HUDs. Never go under 15 FPS on a live feed—your audience expects a certain level of quality, and your chat will roast you for having the “old casino lag” vibe. If you add any overlays to your feed, make sure you’re streaming at 25 FPS or above. Your audience wants to feel immersed in the casino experience—not like they’re watching a 2000s dial-up-era feed of some random game on Twitch. TL;DR: 30 FPS is good enough for most casino-related broadcasts. If you’re streaming something that doesn’t require much fluid animation, you can probably get away with a slightly lower FPS (24-25) without eating up more bandwidth. Do your own research about the specific game you’re planning on streaming, though.

RNG Casino Games (slots, roulette, blackjack, etc.) don’t require high FPS, and so unlocked FPS will not improve their performance.

For streaming, aim for 30 FPS to ensure a pleasant experience while keeping your stream manageable. Anything below 20-25 FPS will look janky.

For live dealer games, use no more than 30 FPS, so game play runs smoothly.

FPS-unlocked games such as blackjack, roulette, and slots are much more forgiving: 15-20 FPS for streaming slots is just about acceptable. Live dealers need at least 30 FPS; below 10-15? You will not be broadcasting, you will be creating a meme video. Stay between 20 FPS and 30 FPS. And, always remember: Consistent frame rates mean smooth playback.

In Roulette or Slot games, where FPS has a lesser impact on the visual experience, FPS unlocking will also make things run smoother. A 30FPS frame rate is the bare minimum required for your audience not to notice any stuttering on their end when streaming live Dealer games. If you’re streaming Blackjack or Baccarat, then I recommend keeping your FPS at no lower than 24 so that the action doesn’t appear choppy. Any lower and your viewers might lose sight of what is happening. In summary: all streams should be set to at least 24FPS, with a frame rate of 30FPS recommended for a smooth overall feel. Some games such as Roulette and Slots have more wiggle room – do not go below 20FPS.

Blackjack, Roulette, and Poker work best in unlocked FPS. For Streaming, 20-25 FPS is playable for Roulette and Blackjack, 15-20 FPS for Poker, though if you’re showing strategies you’ll want to be more in the 25-30 FPS range. High-quality slot machines are all about graphics and need 40+ FPS. Lower FPS will make the games feel less realistic, which may or may not matter - adjust settings on a trial-and-error basis to see what works best for your audience.
