| James O’Connor leads SafeGamingSites.com’s coverage of live dealer games and traditional table games. With nine years in iGaming editorial — five of them embedded specifically in the live casino segment — James has reviewed virtually every Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play Live, Playtech Live, and Ezugi product on the market. His coverage centres on the live casino experience: studio quality, dealer professionalism, table limit ranges, side bet mechanics, and the technical performance (latency, mobile streaming quality, multi-table support) that distinguishes a serious live operator from one playing catch-up. James also covers RNG table games — blackjack variants, European and American roulette, baccarat, casino hold’em, and Caribbean stud — with particular focus on house edge clarity and side bet value. Before joining SGS, James worked as a senior editor at a UK-based iGaming affiliate, where he led the table games desk through significant operator changes during the post-GDPR era. He holds a B.A. in Journalism from Dublin City University and a Diploma in Responsible Gambling Studies from the Responsible Gambling Council. James also leads SGS’s coverage of game-show titles — Crazy Time, Monopoly Live, Lightning Roulette, Mega Wheel — explaining the bonus round mechanics and statistical reality behind the entertainment. |
