Live Casino Dealers at Online Casinos

Trust is everything when gambling online.

All gamers should choose a gaming company that has a solid reputation and, obviously, uses a Random Number Generator (RNG) for its games.

However, even when players choose reputable online casinos like Bodog some still believe, especially when they are losing tons of money, that at times someone flicks a switch to prevent them from winning.

Obviously this is untrue with 99.9 percent of online casinos, but regardless this has made many experts predict that casinos that have live dealing may soon become the casino of choice for most gamers.

Live dealing at online casinos is when players participate in gaming at a physical casino via the Internet. A video feed of the dealer can be seen by the player, and a graphical interface lets players interact with the table.

The need for live dealing has become more apparent since it was revealed that Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet had a lot of software corruption and poker room cheating. Unfortunately, it showed players that no matter how big and how many security measures are taken, foul play is possible when dealing with digital dealers. Although this is just as possible with a real dealer, people will always naturally trust a human over a CPU.

A recent poll supports this statement. Despite the online gaming industry having numerous watchdog companies that can rate the authenticity of online casinos, the poll showed that players are still skeptical about how the RNG works, and the safety of online casino software. Having live, human dealers will eliminate most of these doubts. We say most because there's always going to be someone who has a bad day of cards that thinks it was because of some casino conspiracy, not bad luck.

Asia and Europe have been early adopters of the software. You can already find live dealers for Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, and different types of poker. When will the U.S. catch on? If there's money to be made doing things this way expect them to adopt the software quickly.

It's easy to see why players would enjoy playing this way, not only do you eliminate most fears about someone rigging the computer to make you lose but you can get that true Vegas experience if you have a real dealer giving your cards.

The negative is the games will likely go much slower. But imagine having one of those hot female dealers from Caesar's Palace's Pussycat Doll table section?
