Live Casino is a genre of online gambling that features real dealers, allowing players to feel like they’re playing in a land-based casino while they play from the comfort of their homes. The games are streamed in real time and can be played with other players at the same time. The most popular games are blackjack and roulette, but some sites also offer baccarat, and even the Wheel of Fortune.
To set up a live casino, there are several requirements that need to be met. There needs to be a studio where the game is being shot, and the dealer must have undergone professional training. Some sites have dedicated studios, while others use high-tech studios or venues at legitimate casinos to host their live casino games. In addition, a wide variety of camera views are often used to enhance the player experience.
A key component of a live casino is the game control unit (GCU), which is essentially a small computer that’s attached to each table. The GCU encodes the video that’s broadcast and connects to the gaming software. This allows the dealer to accept bets, communicate with the players via a monitor and spin the roulette wheels.
The best part of a live casino is the fact that there are no random number generators in place, which means the games are fair and the results are determined by a human dealer. This makes them a great choice for those who love the thrill of being at a brick and mortar casino, but don’t have the time or money to travel there.
