Live dealer games worth the hype for beginners?

Live dealers can be hit or miss; some streams buffer like they're on dial-up, killing the vibe, especially if you're new and nervous. Started with higher-stakes tables myself and regretted it—felt exposed. Switched to lower-minimum rooms after some research. Digits 7 Casino surprised me positively; their Evolution-powered tables stream crisp on desktop, dealers chatty without pushing upsells, and bets start at $1 for blackjack—perfect for easing in. No geo-blocks for WA either, and the multi-cam angles make it immersive without overkill. Cashed a modest baccarat run via e-wallet, processed overnight. Drawback: peak hours get busy, so queue up early. If you're testing, their demo mode for non-live helps build confidence first. Live or RNG—which do you lean towards, and why?
