One of the largest drawbacks of the online casinos is, perhaps, the inability to observe the dealer and his actions, especially in various card games, such as Poker or Blackjack. Even though many gamblers find this drawback not so important, many top casinos have come up with a solution for it by offering live dealers.
Playing online with live dealers is a very exciting experience, which allows you to enjoy not only the game process, but also the company of a dealer (and live dealers in largest online casinos tend to be very beautiful and charming girls). For some, the chance to view the dealer dealing cards or spinning the ball on roulette is a lot more important than socialising.
What is the essence of playing with live dealers?
Playing with live dealers takes place in real time, which is quite costly for the online casino that organises the game. First of all, the casino hires and equips a special room, where one or more dealers work. As a rule, it is a studio, which has been equipped for transmitting sound and video feed through the Internet. Secondly, the casino has to hire professional croupiers or train their staff: the dealers are truly professionals in the world of gambling.
Generally the process of playing with a dealer is not much different than playing any other game online, except the player can see the dealers’ actions and also talk to them as well as other players around the table.
The choice of games with available live dealers even in the largest casinos tends to be limited and is mostly based around popular classic games, such as Blackjack, Roulette or Baccarat. Sometimes, casinos offer a player an option of playing a particular type of Texas Hold’em – Casino Hold’em. Of course, the rules are exactly the same, whether you are playing with a dealer or without.
It is important to note that in order to play with live dealers, you will need a stable and fast Internet connection. If you are disconnected in the process, you will not be able to finish the round after reconnecting and after logging in you will only be able to finish the game online without a live dealer.
Advantages of playing with live dealers
In addition to some obvious advantages, such as having a human opponent, a possibility to observe dealers actions in real time, and a chance to talk to them, playing with live dealers also has one considerable advantage: various bonuses. Almost all large casinos have regular promotions, which are aimed at increasing popularity of playing with live dealers. The idea of these bonuses is very simple: a player that selects Poker, Blackjack, Roulette or Baccarat with live dealers during the time that the bonus is active, gets a participation bonus. These tend to be small, but the possibility to get a bonus to your account while defeating a beautiful lady is quite attractive.
