Introduction to Live Online Casinos

Live Online Casinos have been gaining popularity among online casino players and nowadays many good online casinos offer a lot of their popular games as Live Casino Games. The two leading casino software providers that are leading the revolution and have added Live Casino Games as part of their online casinos are the two software giants Playtech and Microgaming.

What are Live Online Casinos?

Live Online Casinos are essentially a combination of online casinos and your regular 'brick and mortar' or land-based casinos. They use internet technology in combination with live dealers to provide players with the most reliable, secure and real playing experience.

How does it Work?

Real Live Dealers are located in a purpose-built studio that is set up as a functioning casino with real gambling tables or in an actual land-based casino where a section of the casino is allocated for online gambling. Players connect to the game of their choice using their casino software and are able to see the tables and dealers via a live streaming feed from a webcam.

Live Casino Games Offered:

The most common casino games that are offered as part of the Live Casino Games are table and card games such as Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat. However in several casinos Casino Holdem, Sic Bo and Pai Gow are also offered and it won't be long before more games are added such as Craps, Caribbean Stud Poker and many others.

Advantages of Live Online Casinos:

Players are able to play in multi-player mode with other players and many casinos offer a chat feature which enables players to converse exactly the way they would do if they were all present in the same casino.

One of the key advantages is the added security that players feel from being able to see all the game's elements such as being able to see how many decks of cards are used when playing Blackjack and witnessing them being shuffled.

As trustworthy as online casinos random numbers generators are and in spite of the rigorous independent testing they regularly undergo, nothing compares to the secure feeling a player gets from seeing the actual Roulette wheel and the ball being dropped onto it mid-spin.
