Choosing a Live Casino to
Play |
|
|
|
The gambling world
has been online for a long time now and casinos are a prime example. The online
casino games sector in the UK took 3 times the revenue of real world casinos
from March 2015 to March 2016. There are literally hundreds of online casinos
that have been licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. So there is a lot of
choice.
Competition means each operator tries to find new ways to tempt
you to there site. However because the rules of standard casino games are fixed
there is very little extra on offer. All online casinos offer bonuses of one
type or another but fulfilling the bonus conditions makes these largely
unappealing and sometimes just expensive.
The use of real world casino
action with a real dealer and real Roulette, Blackjack or even
Punto Banco, streamed live to your PC has
been around for a while. This is now spreading to mobile devices as
well.
Live dealer games can give
you a feel of the action inside a real casino where there are other players,
chat, background noise and a different pace to the action. For your heart, soul
and wallet its probably much better for you to play live dealer games because
it gives all the same triggers to quit, whether you are ahead or behind, that
playing against software does not.
Here is where the casinos differ
because supplying the feed for live dealer casinos takes logistics which not
all the online operators can do. So its really handy to have
the casino db
guides that not only describes all the pros and cons of each casino but
also how good their live casino offering is, if they have one at
all.
Live dealer games can work because the dealer has a digital display
showing who is doing what and in the case of Blackjack, turn cards as you
request them. This makes the game slower than playing the software version,
pretty much at the pace of a game in a real casino, and this is a good thing
because you have time to think.
You can chat to the dealer if you want
or even the other player at the table. They can answer questions about the
rules or strategy of the game you are playing, or even just take part in
normal, engaging conversation.
What Happens if you get
disconnected? Different live casino operators will have different
rules with regards to disconnections so if you experience this kind of issue
you best check the casinos FAQs or contact their customer
support.
Mostly however if you played Roulette and Baccarat and you are
disconnected after placing a bet, that bet will stand, the game will be played
as normal and if your bet wins your winnings will be paid into your account.
Your game history will allow you to see what the result of the game and your
bet was.
If you are playing Blackjack and Casino Holdem and you
are disconnected, you will need to re-establish your internet connection and
log back into the casino. You will be automatically directed to the non-live
version of the game you were playing so you can finish the game round. Note
that only the cards that were on the table at the moment of disconnection are
carried over to such a game round. In some cases the video stream may allow you
to see dealer cards drawn or revealed after your disconnection. These cards are
not carried over to the non-live game round. Once that round is finished you
can return to Live Games as normal.
Where are
the live casinos based The online Live Casino studios are based
all over the world from the UK to Malta and the Philippines.
Depending
on the live casino software operator the live dealer studios are mainly
in:
- Riga in Latvia (Evolution Gaming and Playtech
studios)
- San Jose in Costa Rica (CWC Gaming and
Visionary Gaming)
- Manilla in Philippines (Playtech Asia)
- Toronto in Canada (Microgaming)
- London in the UK (Smart Live Gaming and
NetPlayTV)
- Dublin in Ireland (Vuetec)
Are Online Live Casinos Safe? You can rest
assured that all the UK licensed UK live casinos are 100% secure and do their
best to keep all the customer information protected.
Alternatives? If you've ever switched a TV on
after midnight in the UK you most often will have two whole terrestrial
channels that show live roulette which you can bet on online. Channel 5 and ITV
offer these programmes every night of the week and they have established
dealers turned presenters that have quite an online following like Anna Jardine
Jones (Ch 5) and Gema Ensenat (ITV). These are not really live casino
experiences but its all done with the human hand.
