For those of us who were introduced to playing casino games at a real casino the advent of the first online casinos was quite a shock to the system. We were suddenly able to play casino games in the comfort of our own homes and more importantly at any time of the day or night. We were also treated to a massive increase in the number and variety of casino games we could play, so why was it that some people were not as happy as they should have been. The answer probably lies in human resistance to change, coupled with a bit of mistrust in the online casino operators and the use of Random Number Generators to determine winning positions. Online roulette in particular was the subject of much discussion because of the apparent strange behaviour of the ball when reaching the randomly selected number on the wheel. As a result of these concerns the online casino operators responded by introducing the Live casino option, whereby the casino games of roulette and later blackjack were streamed live from a studio somewhere in eastern Europe using a real roulette wheel and real dealers. The Live casino option is now a common feature available on almost all the major online casino sites and has proved extremely popular. Some online casinos have even set up systems whereby online casino games players can chat with the dealers as they play. As a further advance of the concept of reproducing the atmosphere of a real casino, the All Irish casino now stream their Live casino from a real casino based on the island of Malta, a real step change from the original RNG controlled casino games. There are drawbacks of course, the most notable being the increase in the minimum table stakes made necessary because of the increased overheads associated with operating a Live casino facility. Some casino games players also find the speed of games such as roulette in Live mode creates undue stress as they struggle to place their bets before the wheel is spun and bets are closed, but for many the Live casino is a real advance.
