Live casino games are as close to the true insider experience of gambling at a land-based casino as players can get from a home-based computer. These table games have a live dealer, streamed in real-time for players to interact with and enjoy, all without the hassle of getting in the car, driving to a casino, walking through the doors, and then stepping up to a gaming table.
The games themselves are housed in secure studios and overseen by qualified dealers. RFID sensors logging what happens on the tables are compared to bets placed by players, and once a decision is made the results are transmitted back to the player’s casino account. This eliminates erroneous mistakes, such as misinterpreted hand gestures or incorrect payouts.
In addition to standard casino table games, many online operators have developed game shows using their live dealer technology. Whether it is the Wheel of Fortune style game Crazy Time or a Mega Ball 100-style game, these games add another level of fun to the live casino experience.
As the industry continues to evolve, players will continue to look for more immersive experiences with their favorite games. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technologies are starting to make an impact in the gaming world and it is likely they will become integrated into the live casino experience as they gain in popularity and accessibility. Until then, players will continue to find enjoyment and trust in live dealer games.
