Live Dealer games are a relatively new development in the world of online gambling. The idea behind them is to put the player right in the thick of the action, playing on real tables, with real live dealers, all from the comfort of their own home. This is done by hosting the games in custom-built studios and live streaming the action to the players. And nobody does this better, in my humble opinion, than Evolution Gaming.
Unlike other major players like Microgaming or NetEnt, Evolution Gaming doesn’t produce slots or RNG-based casino games. Instead, it focuses all its energy and considerable expertise on producing live dealer games, such as Monopoly Live or Crazy Time Casino, which push boundaries and bring something new to the whole online gambling experience.
Evolution Gaming has only been around since 2006, making it one of the youngest of the big-name developers. It was around this time that advances in both hardware and software, as well as broadband speeds, made the whole live gaming experience much smoother. And Evolution Gaming burst onto the scene, determined to take full advantage of these technological breakthroughs.
By 2007, the company had released its first games and signed up its first major clients, who introduced their titles to a mass audience. They were so popular that in 2009, only two short years later, the company had to extend its studio floorspace by over 400%, which they did by opening a facility in Riga.
Evolution Gaming continues to go from strength to strength, producing innovative new titles on a regular basis.
Evolution Gaming has built its reputation by offering the most realistic casino experience possible. However, all the action takes place in a studio, the atmosphere created by the effects and the dealers themselves makes you feel like you're in a top Vegas resort.
In fact, their innovative use of technology such as Augmented Reality, and effective camera work, can make the experience even better than the real thing. And you don't even have to leave the house to enjoy it! As well as Live Blackjack and Live Roulette, one of the most played Evolution Gaming titles is Live Dream Catcher, where players spin a Wheel of Fortune to have the chance to win instant cash prizes.
Live casino games offer all the advantages of regular online casino games, and more. The players can see the dealers, and even interact with them through the chat function. This gives the game a more social, human element, as well as helping ease that nagging suspicion that we all have at times that the RNG is rigged, even when we know it’s not.
And Evolution Gaming is in a class of its own when it comes to Live Dealer games. Professional dealers, high-quality production values, and innovative use of technology put them head and shoulders above the rest!
