LIVE DEALER When most people think of the online gaming industry, they think about random number generators and animated games. But a very lucrative sector of the industry is the live dealer market, which took in an estimated $41 million in 2012, according to Global Betting and Gaming Consultants (GBGC). Why do players like live dealer online casinos? Because players can actually see the cards being dealt, or the ball being spun, they feel confident in playing the games. And because they can interact with dealers via chat, players can be social, too. These twin dynamics, along with growth of stable high-speed Internet connections, are driving the growth of live dealer wagering. When it comes to choosing a live dealer online casino to play at, players generally consider three factors – quality of the video feed, ability to understand the dealers and an easy interface. If a player can easily understand the dealer when (usually) she speaks and the video feed is good, it greatly increases the chances that the player will deposit at that site. Casino City’s comprehensive directory of online gaming sites lists 510 sites offering live dealer play. LIVE DEALER INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
