Why Play Live Dealer Games?
Brick-and-mortar casinos feature the classic version of table games like baccarat, blackjack, and roulette. While traditional online casino games provide the same essential rules as the brick-and-mortar versions of those games, many players still prefer the live game.
Live dealer games means a player does not use a random number generator or a video simulation with animated graphics. Instead, the game is played using a real dealer or croupier. As they deal a hand or release the roulette ball into a spinning wheel, the game is filmed from several camera angles and streamed live to the screen of your desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Playing online with live dealers gives a player a chance to interact with real life people on the other end of the camera. Dealers are knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, fluent, and attractive. If you play at a multi-player table, you can interact with other players, dealers, and hostesses in real time. Occasionally, hostesses offer bonus cash to players through collaborative games, trivia, or straight giveaways. If you have questions, you talk to the pit boss like you would in land-based casino.
Live dealer games provides the best of both worlds: the convenience of online casino games with the camaraderie and socializing of brick-and-mortar casino play.
What Is Bet Behind Blackjack?
Readers might have noticed several references to Blackjack Bet Behind and wondered what kind of game that is. “Bet Behind” is a way to play blackjack more than it is a game rules; that is, any variant of blackjack might allow for the “Bet Behind” feature.
Due to the limited number of tables in any live casino setting, you might find that all the seats at the table with your bet limits are taken. With Bet Behind rules, you don’t have to wait to play. Instead, you choose another player’s hand to put your bet behind on each hand. While you won’t be able to make decisions, you can play while you’re waiting for your seat at the table.
