I was playing around on the internet last week and decided to check out this new online gaming trend called live dealer roulette. I thought that this was just a fancy name to get people to play live online roulette by claiming that it is live. I play online poker and know that most online casino games are controlled by a random number generator.
This random number generator has kept me from trying other casino games. When I play poker, I am always wagering against other players, the house takes a small rake, but I know my money is going in my pocket if I play smart.
Most other casino games you are playing against the house. The house always wins in the end, right? How much more are they going to win if they are using a computer program they created to call out the numbers on a roulette wheel? Probably a lot more was my guess.
While searching for live online dealer roulette, I found a site that offered a video feed of the dealer who would spin the roulette wheel at a casino while I sat at my computer and played. I was dumbfounded. This is what they mean by live online dealer roulette? I simply had to sign up and try my hand at it.
Setting up my players account was as easy as setting up an account at an online poker room. It only took a couple of minutes. I did not have to download any software as I did with my online poker room. This was a bonus to me. I hate having my hard drive filled with programs I only use sporadically.
Once I had my account up and verified, I decided to wager for play money before I actually put any money on the site. I had checked to make sure the site was legitimate before I even created my account, which is what anyone should do before they begin playing at a live online casino. You would not take your money to wager in a dark basement with stranger when you are in Las Vegas with legitimate casinos all over the place would your? I would certainly would not.
When I sat down at a play money table, the first thing I noticed was the live feed. Sure enough, there was a real dealer spinning a roulette wheel while bets were being taken. These bets were in two forms, live players in the brick and mortar casino and wagers from other players like me who were playing online.
The fact that I was only wagering play money at a live online dealer roulette wheel did not make a difference to the gam play. I had a bit of success wagering for play money. I then made a deposit and starting playing with real money. After doubling my initial deposit, I decided to call it night. Only two hours of play, sitting at my computer at home and I was a winner. It does not get any better than that!
