5 Tech Tips for Creating Seamless Live Dealer Casino Experiences

Players can play their favorite table games—poker, baccarat, roulette, etc.—with a real dealer and amongst real players without leaving their homes. How is that possible? This guide explores five ways providers like you can create seamless live dealer casino experiences.

Work with a reliable publisher

Like all classic casino games, live casino titles must come from somewhere. The best way to ensure smooth sailing is to get your catalog from a reputable publisher. Evolution Gaming is one of the biggest names in the global live casino space, having established live dealer studios in the US, Canada, and Europe. The award-winning publisher is known for its live-streamed casino table games, including Live Roulette, top of the list on the betway casino Zambia catalog, Live Baccarat, and Live Blackjack. All three titles are available in HD with multi-camera options.

Set up HD cameras at different angles

Speaking of which, the best live dealer casino setups feature multiple HD cameras. Set up your cameras at least three different angles around your live dealer tables to give players a 360-degree view of their playing field. For roulette, for instance, give players a top view of the entire table, a wide view of the table, and a top-and-down view of the roulette wheel.  

Install a powerful GCU at the table

Your cameras are only part of the equation. To encode images and videos and deliver them to players in real time, install a game control unit (GCU) at every table. The most advanced GCUs are no bigger than a shoe box. Large operators like Betway place them discreetly under live dealer tables to maintain strong connections between the dealer's signal and the player's screen. Pick a GCU that can handle all your players simultaneously without buffering or causing signal lags.

Clear storage on your monitor

The table monitor is the screen on which your live dealers watch the action, keep track of player decisions, assess current bets, and engage with players through live chat. It sounds like a lot of work because it is. When buying a monitor for your live dealer casino, choose a large screen with enough storage to handle all these tasks in real time. It's also important to clean it regularly and update the software periodically to maintain a smooth connection between the live dealer and players.

Activate the live chat function

The live chat function is arguably the most exciting aspect of live dealer gambling. Players enjoy the interaction and the ability to communicate with each other and the dealer as the game goes on, just as they would in a real casino. To cap off the perfect live dealer setup, enable instant messaging and live chat room functions for all your live dealer casino games.

Finally, embrace the future of live dealer casino

Live dealer casinos are only going to get better with time. As AR and VR become more accessible and their applications grow, online casinos like Betway will take immersion to the next level. The next generation of live dealer casinos may include virtual environments, where player avatars can 'sit' at tables and make virtual bets with real dealers in real time. As a live casino provider, the best way to provide seamless experiences is to take advantage of these innovations as they become viable.
