Live Dealer Casinos Offer Best of Both Worlds

Added: March 1, 2025

If there is any kind of objection on the part of gambling enthusiasts when it comes to online casinos, it is the idea that everything is very mechanical and operated almost in robotic fashion. Presumably as an answer to that objection, the purveyors of online casinos have come up with the concept of live dealers.

The technology, including that of video, has advanced to the point where now a player can literally be looking at his or her computer screen and see a dealer, in a remote location, and in the flash, dealing a game in real-time that can be played. This is a tremendous advancement, and as it has rolled out over the last few years, it has met with tremendous success wherever it has gone.

Why is that? Well simply, it is because live dealer casinos offer the best of both worlds, because there is the convenience of being able to log in and turn on the games at any time, without having to travel, with the human element of playing against someone who is, well, human, and who you can actually see.

Not only that, you can talk to them as well. In fact, you are greeted personally by the dealer whenever you sit down to play. And you have a chat apparatus at your disposal that allows you to communicate with the dealer and with other players who are at the table with you at the same time.

The dealers and tables are stationed in a central, remote location, and of course, part of the strategy is that most of the dealers are very attractive females. And why not, as a visual element can be added to the atmosphere.

There are many different games that are offered in the "live" format, though for the most part, the three staples are live blackjack, live roulette and live baccarat. Where the technology comes into play as far as blackjack is concerned is that when cards are removed from the shoe, they cross a sensor and register themselves into the computer system where, virtually in real-time, they are posted on the table that is displayed on your screen, so you always know what you have and what the other players have as well.

Live dealer casinos offer a tremendously fresh and different experience and they are certainly worth playing if you get the opportunity. They are not available everywhere just yet, and they generally require higher table stakes, but they are much more than just a novelty.
