The online casinos have now established themselves as mainstream platforms for the playing of casino games by the general public in Ireland, so it is difficult to recall the teething problems associated with their initial introduction. When the first online casinos were launched their customer base consisted mostly of people who had already experienced playing casino games at a real casino, and whilst they immediately appreciated the much bigger range of casino games they were suddenly able to enjoy there were mutterings about the presentation of certain games, most notably roulette. Almost all the online casino games were controlled using Random Number Generators and while there were no problems with this approach for most of the casino games on offer, the online casino software designers struggled to simulate the movement of the spin of a roulette wheel to such an extent that online roulette players were beginning to doubt the validity of the game. To their credit the online casinos responded to these concerns by introducing the Live casino option for roulette and subsequently blackjack and baccarat. Most of the major online casino operators set up studios in eastern Europe and employed real dealers to run the games which were then streamed live onto their sites. Recently the All Irish casino has gone one better and now streams a selection of casino games from a real casino based in Malta. The introduction of the Live online casino has undoubtedly improved the experience of playing some casino games online and is a very welcome option. The only drawback to the Live casino option is that it clearly increases the costs for the online casino operators, and as a result the minimum table stakes in the Live casino mode have been increased, which for some online casino games players negates one of the main advantages of playing casino games online as opposed to playing at a real casino.
