How do live dealer games work?

Live dealer games are dedicated salons set up by online casinos. They feature various tables with a dealer. You interact with the game and the dealer via web cam in real time. You can also talk to the other players and the dealer using real time live chat.

It is the best of all possible worlds: the feel of a real casino from the comfort of your own environment, the socialising with other players without the noise and irritation of crowds, the thrill of real money gambling without the need to drive anywhere or pay for parking or waste money on expensive food and drinks.

Live dealer games are set up in a studio to resemble a land-based casino experience, and the dealers are dressed and trained to the same standards as a land-based casino. The games are streamed in real time so what you are seeing is what is taking place right now on the table. Your bets are placed virtually and a complex software programme monitors, translates and displays all bets and outcomes for the players and the dealers.
