One of the main reasons why so many traditional casino players hesitate to make the jump to online gaming is because they crave the live experience. Live online casinos try to replicate that experience by using real dealers and real physical games. They do a very good job at recreating the ambiance of a real casino and also allow for some level of social interaction. They also have tons of benefits over traditional casinos that are worth considering. If you haven’t tried live casino games yet and are feeling curious about them yet, here are some of their advantages.
Trustworthiness
Many traditional casino players assume that the odds on online casinos cannot be trusted. Whether that’s true or not, this isn’t something you’ll need to worry about when playing at a live casino. Everything is real and you get to see the actual roulette or craps table as you would in any casino. You will get the same odds as you would at any land-based casino too. So, if you didn’t want to play online because you thought the games were rigged, live casinos could be a great alternative.
Social Interaction
This is one of the biggest selling points for live casinos. The online casino experience can feel a bit alienating for people who are used to the bustling atmosphere and the social element of online casinos. The fact that you can interact with the people around the table with live casino games brings some of that element back.
You might even start bumping into regulars at certain casinos and many friendships have started through a live casino chat. You can also speak with the dealer and engage in light banter, just as you would in any other casino. This could also help make the game more fun and engaging.
Another benefit of playing with a real dealer is that they can answer your questions in real-time. This could be very helpful if you’re not the best with technology. Many online casinos will have a chat function that you can use on their virtual games, but nothing beats being able to get feedback from an experienced live dealer.
Authenticity
Some people also complain about the artificial feel of online casino games and we have to admit that not all online casinos do a great job at making their games look realistic. Live casinos are the closest you’ll get to playing the real thing but from the comfort of your home. They choose their dealers carefully so they can feel even more authentic and only hire casinos with extensive experience dealing in casinos around the world.
Slower Pace
One of the big challenges of transitioning from traditional gambling to online gambling is the change in pace. Online casino games tend to go much faster, and this can cause players to spend more in less time. This can be a big drawback and another reason why so many people stay away from online casinos.
With live dealers, the game will be played at a much more natural pace. This could allow you to enjoy more playing time and prevent you from burning through your bankroll. This also means that players can stick to their usual betting and bankroll management strategies.
However, we still suggest you brush up on your skills before you play any online casino. If you need help, you can check these guides by Play Live Casino. Play live casino guides cover things such as how to play classic games like roulette or blackjack, but also tips for players who are new to the online casino scene. They have guides on things like how to understand bonus structures and wagering requirements, for instance. This brings us to our next point.
The Great Offers
Live casinos offer most of the benefits of playing at a traditional casino but without the disadvantages. One of the areas where online casinos always had a leg up on traditional casinos is in the way they treat new players. You’ll get to enjoy all of the games you get at your traditional casino with roughly the same ambiance but with the great bonuses most online casinos offer.
It’s not uncommon for online casinos to offer deposit match bonuses up to the third or even fourth deposit. You’ll never find anything comparable at your regular casino. And, while brick-and-mortar casinos will have VIP programs, these will usually be for the high rollers. The tables are turned when you’re playing online casinos and you can get everything from cashback on your wagers to free tickets for raffles through loyalty programs.
Online Live Casinos are Convenient
Live casinos are also great if you want to feel like you’re playing at a world-class casino while you’re waiting for the bus or you’re on your lunch break. You can play at a live casino from virtually anywhere with an internet connection, whether you’re at home or while traveling. You can also play through any device you want.
You can play on your mobile phone if you’re on the go, or your big screen monitor at home if you want to get a real, more immersive experience. You also don’t have to get all dressed up and spend time in traffic just so you can spend a few minutes at a casino.
The Wide Selection of Games
Another area where live online casinos have traditional casinos beat is when it comes to the selection of games. Don’t be surprised if you find a casino offering versions of roulette or blackjack you’ve never heard of before. Also, if you’re a fan of a particular type of casino game, chances are the live casino you choose to play at will have it. This includes exotic variations of games that might not be available at brick-and-mortar casinos near you.
As you can see, live casinos have tons of great things going for them. If you’ve never played online or are used to playing regular online casino games, you should give them a try as soon as possible and see how you like the experience
