Live Dealer Casinos

What Is a Live Dealer Casino?

A live dealer casino is a chance to play via an online casino with a live dealer in real-time. The player will see the dealer via a live video stream and can interact with the dealer in real time.

The games that are usually available for live dealer play include the popular live dealer blackjack and live dealer roulette. Many casinos also offer a live dealer poker game.

Software Companies and Live Dealer Casinos

Most gaming software companies will have a connection with a single land-based casino. Essentially, what this can mean to players is that any live dealer games that are offered through a specific software provider will be played with the same live dealers from the same location.
There are only a few online casinos that offer their own live dealer tables that are exclusive to their casinos.

Why Choose a Live Dealer Casino?

Although the Random Number Generator software that is used at reputable online casinos will ensure that all dealing, dice rolls, slot spins, and all other games are played randomly, there are some players who prefer to see a dealer in front of them, rather than computer software. While there is a feeling that it is more trustworthy when you watch the dealer shuffle the cards and then deal with them, this is not really the case. However, if a player prefers to watch a dealer deal the cards or spin a roulette wheel, the option is now available in many casinos.

Some players simply like the connection with a real person on the other side of their computer screen. Players can chat online with other players that are in the live dealer game since gameplay takes a little longer because dealing is being performed by a human being rather than computer software.

Live Dealer Tips

• Remember that gameplay is a little slower because the dealing is manually done.
• Never hold the dealer responsible if you do not get the cards or outcome you were hoping for.
• Always be polite to the dealer and treat them with respect, just as would be appropriate in a land-based casino.
• Make sure that you know a game well enough to make speedy decisions so that other players do not have to wait for you to make your move. There is usually a time limit set for each turn, and if a player does not make a decision in that time, the dealer will do so based on criteria that have been set out by the casino.
