The Live Dealer Casino section of goodbonusguide.com is now 'Live' (terrible pun intended) and because we know that you're a curious bunch, we've tracked down a site that allows you to try out the live dealer games without even needing to register.
Live Dealer casinos were invented to satisfy the growing numbers of people who distrust the random number generators (RNG's) found in online casinos. Whilst most RNG's are perfectly safe (and are audited to prove this) physically seeing the cards being dealt reassures players that the game is legit and not fixed or rigged against them.
But how does it work? In essence it is like being in a real casino, except instead of sitting at the blackjack table you are connected via webcam. Wagering instructions and commands such as 'hit', 'stand' and 'split' are relayed to the dealer from your computer through the Live Dealer Casino software, which is very similar in appearance to regular online casino software. Chat boxes, whilst not used for game play, can be use to communicate with the dealer (although we feel that this feature is mainly used to get them to wave at you).
The games available at each Live Dealer Casino vary between sites, and include Blackjack, Roulette, Sic Bo, Baccarat and Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker. Such games are either dealt from a custom made studio whilst others come directly from special rooms in a real life casino such as the Fitzwilliam Card Club in Dublin.
One obvious downside that Live Dealer games have is the speed factor. Players who are used to the lightning fast play at an online casino may take a while to adjust to the slower pace, after all somebody has to physically deal the cards.
You can have a look at what a Live Dealer Casino looks like, and even try out the games, without needing to register by going to Lucky Live Casino and clicking "See Our Live Dealers". Lucky Live Casino is based in the Fitzwilliam Card Club mentioned earlier, and offers new players a 100% bonus worth €100 along with a bonus of up to 15% on every deposit.
