Understanding How Live Dealer Games Work
We are all familiar with how live telecasts work on TV. Take any live indoor event, like a boxing match, or billiards, badminton, or even darts. The event is being staged at a venue or studio somewhere, with cameras in place to send the video stream to your TV.
Live dealer games have the same working principle, with the only difference that they use the internet to deliver the video. Just like in a live YouTube stream for example. The game providers have state of the art studios, where they host these games.
The dealers are specially trained individuals with expertise in dealing with cards, or running roulette machines, etc. They also happen to be very attractive, charming, and vivacious! These dealers host a variety of games like baccarat, roulette, sic bo, and blackjack. All the equipment used, be it cards, roulette machines, dice, are subject to stringent rules and regulations to ensure fairness.
Besides for the dealers/croupiers, the studio will also have a pit boss to ensure that everything runs smoothly in compliance with all laws and regulations. There will also be camera crews and IT specialists to ensure smooth and uninterrupted streaming of the event to online casinos around the world.
When you access one such live game feed from a casino, you are directly connected to the game software platform. Any bet you place on your PC or mobile is sent directly to the dealer/croupier. They will act accordingly, physically place that bet on the table, deal you a card, fold them, spin the roulette, etc, depending on the game.
You can watch all this happen in real-time. In many game rooms, there is also the option to chat with the dealer/croupier – in the intervals between rounds, they will read these chats and respond live on the video. This kind of human interaction makes a live dealer gaming session feel very authentic.
When you win, the cash is instantly credited to your casino account. If you appreciate the service, you may even tip the dealer in some games. It gives you an authentic “real casino” experience.
