Live Dealers

Continuously bridging the gap between the 'virtual casino experience' and that of land-based casinos, many online casinos - such as Casino Tropez, for example - now offer the added benefit of being able to play with 'live dealers'. Yes, that's right, now it's becoming even easier - if you can believe it - to reproduce the live casino feeling right in your own home.

With the use of webcams and 'real-time' technology, several different online casino operators are employing individuals to act as 'live dealers' for many of their most popular games. Depending on your game and interest(s), instead of receiving a card directly on your screen, you can now be dealt the same card from the hand of a 'live person'. Obviously, this is far more interactive than looking at computer-generated characters.

Of course, considering technology, it's not difficult to develop a program where a real person (if only an actor) deals you a card when you click on the screen. Although, the difference now is that the person is not part of a program but instead, hooked up to your game in real-time and waiting for your instructions!

Naturally, games such as this are slower than those controlled entirely by software and the computer. Nonetheless, it's an interesting alternative for many players and is increasingly becoming a benefit many casinos are seeking to provide their customers. As the technology improves, we shouldn't be surprised to see more and more operators increasing their staff of 'live-dealers' and making such a playing option more readily available to their clients.

Check back again soon as we hope to have more information as well as a list (which will be updated continuously) of all the major operators offering this technology.
