The Live online casino option is a welcome advance

Those of us who started playing casino games at a real casino before online casinos became so accessible may remember the criticisms the online casinos had to face as a result of their use of Random Number Generators. At the time the online casinos felt that they had no choice but to use RNG’s to determine winning numbers, but the computer graphics associated with casino games such as roulette were unable to satisfactorily imitate the movement of the ball on the roulette wheel as it sought to find the selected winning number. This led to some online casino games players becoming suspicious and even raised a number of conspiracy theories against the online casino operators. In response some online casino operators started to offer their customers the option to play some casino games in what they called the Live casino mode. This was achieved by employing real dealers based in a studio, usually somewhere in Eastern Europe with the games streamed live onto their site. Nowadays all the major online casinos offer us this option for a range of specific casino games such as roulette and blackjack, and some such as the All Irish casino have taken the concept one step further by actually streaming their Live casino option from a real casino on the island of Malta. Both of these solutions clearly increase the overheads associated with operating an online casino, which has forced the online casinos to raise the minimum table stakes when playing casino games in the Live casino mode. Some online casino games players also do not like the time limits for placing bets when playing in the Live casino mode, particularly when playing roulette. Nevertheless at least we now have a choice of whether we prefer to play some casino games with real dealers and a real roulette wheel and accept the drawbacks, or play these casino games online as we would all the other casino games available at our online casinos.
