It is online roulette like you have never experienced it before with a TV camera pointed on the live dealer and roulette wheel. Play Live Roulette at Betfair Live Casino Enter the online live roulette tables and you are confronted by a live croupier, a real roulette wheel and the ability to chat (with the dealer and with other players). The layout of the roulette board and the rules are the same as normal online roulette - as should strategy be whether playing online or on your mobile. The real difference is the speed and the psychological aspect. The speed is slower than usual online roulette as the ball just takes that bit longer to fall into any given number. The extra few second does produce an extra little buzz - maybe not to the liking of action junkies - but to the casual player, like myself, it was fun. That is not to suggest you waste time between spins - everything is slick and well organised. It was the psychological side of the live dealer experience which pleased me most. Computer-generated roulette wheels are controlled completely by algorithms to make the spin completely random. Nothing wrong with that but after a couple of losing spins your mind can play tricks on you. Although illogical, players can believe they are not winning because the outcome is decided by a computer programme - and that theprogramme knows what number they have bet on! With live roulette tables there is a possibility of a slight bias due to the type of roulette wheel and the throw of the dealer but psychologically it seems a much better experience playing live roulette online as opposed to playing the computer model and graphics despite losing a number of throws per hour as the speed is slower. The minimum bet is fifty pence but you may increase your stakes from 10 pence. Betfair is not a no deposit live roulette experience but do have the usual payment options such as Paypal and debit card deposits. From low stakes players to high rollers, live roulette should be an improvement on the computer software-based model. http://www.betfaircasino.com/live-dealer-casino/live-roulette.html http://www.betfaircasino.com/live-dealer-casino/live-roulette.html Live Dealer Casino Thu, 17 May 2012 04:38:33 +0000 Live Blackjack has arrived at Betfair Casino replicating a live casino experience for the first time giving a more natural, satisfying and fun blackjack experience for UK residents and countries across Europe and beyond. The Betfair live Blackjack game play is as sleek and easily understandable as you would expect from the leading online betting community. Each player has a choice of their live blackjack dealer - male or female as well as being able to choose their stakes and which other players to sit alongside. If you have not played blackjack online or in a casino then it is recommended to read up on all the rules of blackjack - or pontoon or 21 as we called it when playing for fun, years ago. It is not as though the rules of blackjack are complicated but there are some plays such as splitting, burning, standing etc which need to be known and these tips and tricks will certainly enhance your live dealer blackjack experience as well as hopefully making it more profitable. Play live blackjack There is no software to download to play live blackjack on Betfair, a click of the mouse and you are transported to a TV screen where you are introduced to the live dealer. The live dealer calls out the instructions of when to place your gambling chips and explanations of the minimum and maximum are displayed on screen. The game play is slightly slower than conventional online blackjack but the live action adds to the excitement and there is the chance for players to chat amongst themselves just like in a land-based casino live blackjack experience. Live dealer blackjack Blackjack is one of the few casino games where strategy can play a factor and the live blackjack tables on Betfair gives you the time to study the other players at your table. It is simple to switch tables if you are playing next to a guy constantly trying to hit ridiculous outs. Observing tables before you start live blackjack also helps in this aspect. Don't expect to be able to card count -with eight decks and one card burned before each deal it is nigh on impossible - even online! All in all, live blackjack online is a satisfying experience. One aspect I did not like is the software shows you the card a fraction of a second before the live dealer pulls it from the card shoe. A minor irritant to an overall interesting new experience. With Betfair Mobile tearing up the Iphone and Android app markets, it would be no surprise to find live dealer blackjack on your smartphone any day soon. http://www.betfaircasino.com/live-dealer-casino/live-blackjack.html http://www.betfaircasino.com/live-dealer-casino/live-blackjack.html Live Dealer Casino Thu, 17 May 2012 04:38:33 +0000 Live dealer baccarat has arrived at Betfair Casino and it is hard not to be impressed by the quality of TV pictures and the easy on the eye hi-tech software. Many will be familiar with baccarat through the James Bond films or even the leather-faced Omar Sharif and on first glance it looks an intimidating game to play. However, with a live dealer for your baccarat game the experience is made simpler especially with the ability to ask questions in chat to the dealer. Still, live baccarat is not specifically recommended to those who have not played before but if you have experience of playing in a casino then live dealer baccarat may be to your liking. Live dealer in baccarat The live dealer in baccarat gives the banker three cards and the player three cards. Card are worth face value apart from 10-Ace which are worth one point. Gamblers choose whether the banker or the player has the smallest total (best hand) from the three cards dealt. Side bets are also allowed where a player can bet on whether the dealer gets a pair, the player gets a pair...or indeed if both the live dealer and the player gets a pair. Sounds a little complicated? It is and it isn't. The best way I found was to jump straight in and start playing for small stakes until to understand the ebb and flow of the game - either that or study the rules while observing a table. It's fairly straightforward to pick up and is still enjoyable even if you don't understand all the side bets available. From high limit to low stakes, live dealer baccarat is an must-play online casino game - made all the more interesting because of the attraction of a live dealer...and occasionally an easy on the eye live dealer! http://www.betfaircasino.com/live-dealer-casino/live-baccarat.html http://www.betfaircasino.com/live-dealer-casino/live-baccarat.html Live Dealer Casino Thu, 17 May 2012 04:38:33 +0000
