Can Online Casinos Prosper With Real Dealers?
With the proliferation of the global online gambling industry over the past few years, has come a wave of innovation from online technology companies and online gaming sites. The latest idea from executives is to have real dealers at the online casinos.
Games such as blackjack and poker have taken the Internet by storm, and the closest any site has come to a real casino is to have virtual dealers. The virtual dealers look like a cartoon figure, designed to look like a real person. This was attractive to players early on, but now that the industry has advanced, companies are looking for ways to make the online experience similar to the one found inside a land-based casino.
Several UK companies have started to develop the idea of real dealers for their online casinos. Crazy Vegas Casino is one of the sites that has entered into an agreement with developers of live dealer platforms. It is an innovation that is gaining attention across the world.
“”People are starting to like the idea of Internet casinos, but they are always skeptical of how safe the casinos are,” said Gaming Analyst Rick Steen. “The players want to feel like they are playing in a casino, and this is one way for online sites to help accomplish that goal.”
While the move is new to some, big-name gaming companies have been working in real dealers for table games online for several years. The majority of the sites that have entered into this endeavor have focused on attractive women to control the action on the sites.
According to many experts, the US online gaming market is the largest in the world, and the country has started to come around to the idea of Internet gambling. Three states, Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware, have already passed laws allowing online casinos, and dozens of others are in the process of debating such laws.
