A Guide to Live Dealer Casino Games

For many years, the biggest complaint about online casinos was that they lacked the authentic, social atmosphere of a physical building.

Live dealer games represent the absolute cutting-edge of internet gambling technology, streaming real human dealers directly to your screen.

Behind the Scenes of a Live Casino Studio

These games are broadcast from massive, highly secure television studios designed explicitly to look like high-end VIP casino floors.

The true magic of the system relies on specialized software known as Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

  • Running these studios is incredibly expensive, which is why you rarely find ‘micro-stakes’ or free demo versions of live dealer games
  • The video feeds require a strong, stable internet connection; if you disconnect, the game will play your hand automatically according to basic strategy
  • The cards used have a slightly larger printed index (font) to ensure they are easily readable by the cameras and the players at home

The Rise of Live Game Shows

To attract players who don’t want to learn complex card strategies, developers created entirely new, massive interactive spectacles.

These titles focus heavily on maximum entertainment value, featuring loud music, vibrant colors, and massive chat room interaction.

It is the closest you can get to Macau or Vegas without ever having to put on a pair of shoes.
