Online casinos hit the global gambling market some time ago. But it's just now that they're booming, thanks in part to pandemics and the associated total or partial lockdown in most countries.
No wonder, because at a time when all entertainment centers, cinemas, theaters and clubs have been closed, the only entertainment remains that in the form of online. That's why the interest in online casinos has never been so high, and their creators are outdoing themselves with ideas on how to stand out from the competition and attract new players.
Some focus on attractive bonus programs, others on the variety of games, and still others on enhancing the player experience, including through the option of live casino. Let's take a closer look at the latter. In this post you will learn what a live casino is all about, how to play it and why it's worth using.
What a live casino offersGamers who are used to playing in land-based casinos might feel a bit disappointed when visiting online casinos. Although the slots are very exciting, roulette, poker and blackjack are far from those in land-based casinos.
That's why a live casino was created. A casino that thanks to video transmission allows you to feel almost like in a real casino. Sitting comfortably at home you have a real live croupier (not animation) in front of you, who deals the cards, operates the roulette and takes bets.
All of this takes place in a room that is no different from a real casino. What's more - very often the picture is broadcasted from real casinos, as well as from the studio, which is located in a particular casino. And most importantly, the games are played in real time.
What games are available in a live casino?
The choice of games depends on the casino where you play. Mostly though, players in a live casino will be offered roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker. Sometimes you can even find games like Monopoly or Bingo in this section.
So the offer is the same (and often even more attractive) as in land-based casinos. In addition, thanks to modern technology, players can change tables to play, join others - often individual tables are divided up according to the stakes they play for, for example.
Advantages of live casinos over other casinosIn contrast to land-based casinos, live casinos are often open 24 hours a day, thanks to broadcasts from various casinos around the world. Players also don't have to book their seats at the tables in advance - there is always a seat available.
What's important is that the live casino can also be visited from mobile devices, which means that it's practically accessible to everyone.
It can be said that live casinos combine the biggest advantages of land-based casinos and online casinos, thanks to which players can experience emotions comparable to those in land-based casinos (among others thanks to very good quality online transmission), as well as benefit from attractive promotions and bonuses available in online casinos, not available in land-based casinos.
How to choose the best live casino?
As already mentioned, there are plenty of casinos offering a live casino section. So how do you choose which one is the best? It's a good idea to use common sense and personal preference and put emotions to the back of your mind.
First of all, you should check if the casino where you want to invest your money is safe. So for starters, make sure it has a license to ensure legal gaming. The license is your guarantee that in case something goes wrong, you'll be able to ask for help in recovering your money not only from the casino's support department, but also from the authority that issued the license and placed the company under its supervision.
Another thing you should check is the reviews of other players. So what if the casino offers hundreds of tables in the live section and attractive bonuses, if for example the online transmission is unstable and often interrupted at the crucial moment? Or if the offer of bonuses and promotions is impressive but you have to do impossible things to get them?
