Most online casinos now offer us the Live casino option

All online businesses survive and prosper on the trust of their customers, particularly regarding the security of their personal and financial details. For online casinos there is another element of trust which is absolutely essential, and that is the fairness of their casino games. Almost all casino games played online require the use of a Random Number Generator built into the casino software, which produces the winning number or symbol every time the game is played, and is at the very heart of our trust in any online casino site. The RNG and the associated graphics works perfectly for most online casino games, but there were some games such as roulette where the graphics could not simulate the real casino experience and became a source of irritation for many online gamblers. To their credit, the online casinos responded to these concerns and the Live casino experience was born. Most of the major online casinos, including Irish favourites Paddy Power, Ladbrokes and Party casino, now offer their online gamblers the Live casino option for roulette and some popular card games. In most cases the Live casino is operated from a remote studio where web cameras stream pictures of a real roulette wheel spinning, or cards being dealt by real dealers. It is now even possible to chat with the dealers on some sites. Clearly the cost of operating the Live casino is much greater than using a RNG, so the minimum table stakes for Live casino games are generally higher and this is why the Live casino remains just an option on most online casino sites. Another factor of the Live casino option which does not suit every online gambler is the speed of the games, which are obviously controlled by the dealers and not the player. The online casinos have responded to their customer’s concerns, and the Live casino is a very welcome option for many casino games fans, but it does not suit everyone and should therefore remain just a matter of choice.
