Live Dealer Casino Poker

Online poker with a live dealer is a remote version of the game, while the player is in a real establishment. It differs from offline poker by its use of virtual tables and software installed on your computer. Real cards are dealt by a real dealer, whose actions are tracked by a webcam. A special scanner reads the cards, which are revealed at the end of the deal. You can see the total cards being dealt in real time.

In this version, the random number generator is replaced by a croupier with the ability to watch the shuffling of the deck and the cards being dealt, eliminating any tampering or cheating by the host or opponent.

There are some notable disadvantages to this format:

• Stable acceptance of a video broadcast is not possible if the speed of the traffic is low. A poor quality internet connection causes freezing and a fuzzy picture. The game cannot be enjoyed.
• Users can use the tables only with high stakes due to the special equipment from the real poker house and the real dealer. These terms and conditions do not suit every player. They don’t deal in cents and the rake is rather hefty due to the necessity of covering the costs of operating the online and offline poker rooms.
• Lack of momentum and excitement because it takes a lot longer than in standard online rooms to shuffle the deck, deal the cards, make decisions and declare a winner.

That is, the game at such a portal suits those who have unhindered access to high-speed Internet, sufficient bankroll and desire to have fun rather than fill up their wallet.

Live Poker Rooms

The emergence of live dealer tables is due to the fierce competition in online gambling that has affected poker rooms as well. Some online poker rooms have tried to attract new players to their sites but their expectations haven’t been fulfilled. Today, only Medialivecasino can offer a room to play Texas Hold’em against live poker opponents.

The registration and headquarters of this establishment are in Malta. Casino games are broadcasted from there from real gambling establishments in different countries. If the customer wishes to play poker with real dealers, he will be given this opportunity on request, subject to finding opponents himself, agreeing on the date and time of the table opening etc. This constitutes a certain inconvenience. Especially, residents of the post-Soviet states would not be able to fully enjoy the game anyway due to the lack of a Russian-speaking interface and the possibility of direct settlement.
