Live casino dealer technology to continue online casino growth
16th July, 2008
The growth of online casinos since 1995 has led to more and more casino players choosing to play at home as internet access as become so much more widely available. Increasingly the big Las Vegas casinos are struggling to improve profits and customers.
The land-based casinos have been casting a keen eye over the developments in the online casino industry, and will not be too happy about new technology that makes playing from home even closer to the real thing.
Live dealer casino games not only add a huge amount of realism to the games, letting you interact with the dealer, but also show how the outcomes are random, with real decks of cards being dealt, real roulette wheels being spun and so on. This technology will be especially welcome by those who had a degree of scepticism about the outcomes of certain games that do not seem to go their way.
Director of operations for LazerWager.com, Dan Delgato, commented: 'The reason why online casino growth has not grown by the expected 16% is mainly due to the fact that players still remain cynical about the possibility of digital casino software affecting the outcome of games. However, with the addition of Live Dealer Casino software, players will no longer have to worry about being cheated by digital casino games since the outcome is determined from a real deck of cards actually being dealt in our casino. It's simply the best chance for a player to win online since the results are not generated by a computer.'
The recent economic climate is another factor restricting growth of the land-based casinos, with financial uncertainty rife in the US and UK. Casino players now find it harder to be able to afford playing at real life casinos, preferring the lower limits of online casinos.
