Some casinos offer 'Live gaming', either
exclusively, or as part of a wider online casino offering. In
live online casinos, popular casino games such as roulette and
blackjack are dealt by real dealers in casino studios, in an
attempt to convey more of the atmosphere of a physical casino.
Player actions (including chat) such as 'hit' in the game of
blackjack may be transmitted to the dealer; in some online
casinos more than one player may 'sit' at a particular 'seat' on
the table, and in this case there is no interactivity between
player and dealer, the question of which player(s) requested the
extra card that the dealer dealt and which chose to 'stand' will
be handled by the software. It is usual for players to be able
to observe a video feed of the action, and equally common for
players to opt to turn it off, if they lack the bandwidth - as
the cards are read by OCR and other technology, the video feed
is only ever a visual cue. |
