The Rising Popularity of Live Casinos
They were somewhat of a novelty a few years ago, but live dealer games have now become a standard feature at online casinos.
While Evolution Gaming is still the marquee brand, live dealer providers like Ezugi, Authentic Gaming, Asia Gaming, and Pragmatic Play have been busy building their catalogs.
Games like blackjack and Roulette usually come to mind when people think about live casino games, but live dealer rooms at top online casinos feature a vast array of games. Poker fans are drawn to live games such as Caribbean Stud, Let It Ride, Casino Hold ‘Em, and Three Card Poker. Evolution Gaming has led the charge with an assortment of innovative game show games including Monopoly Live, Deal or No Deal Live, and Crazy Time. You’ll find Craps, Sic Bo, Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, and much more when you visit a top live casino. Believe it or not, you can also play live slots, lottery games, Bingo, and wheel games like Dream Catcher and Wheel of Fortune.
One reason for the live casino’s success is that it provides a truly authentic casino experience. Players feel like they are in a casino with other players and the professionally trained dealers. Live casinos also allow players to interact with the dealers and other players. This spices the live casino experience with a more sociable flavor that doesn’t exist when playing RNG games. On top of that, providers like Vivo support a variety of languages. You can find a dealer that speaks fluent Spanish, Chinese, French, Turkish, and more.
Some people simply enjoy the vibe of land-based casinos. They make it a regular thing. However, the recent Covid pandemic has resulted in the temporary closure of so many casinos. Fortunately, live casinos are always open and they allow those folks to continue enjoying their retail casino excursions without leaving home. In fact, they can get their fix no matter where they are when they stream the live casino action to their mobile device.
Novice players often wonder about the integrity of live dealer games. They don’t need to as long as they are playing at an online casino that is licensed in a reputable jurisdiction. The UKGC, MGA, Government of Gibraltar, and Kahnawake Gaming Commission are among the most respected licensing authorities on the planet. If a live dealer casino possesses a license from one of those regulators, you can be confident that the live dealers and the games are on the level.
Live casino bonuses also attract players. They are commonly issued to new customers, but existing customers can get them too at some sites. They are easy to claim and loads of fun to use. All of that bonus cash should inspire you to try different games and discover first-hand the joys and thrills of the live casino experience.
