Live Casino Mobile Apps Take Over the iGaming Industry

June 18, 2017 Posted by Jonathan Adams Editorial No Comments

In this newest entry in our continuing series on casino and gambling technology, we take a look at live casino mobile apps.

Research shows that online casinos have far surpassed their brick and mortar counterparts in terms of popularity. Gambling on the Internet may not be entirely comparable to that of land casinos in all its glory, but recent technological achievements allow gaming sites to emulate enough of its fun and excitement to make it worth it for players. Let’s not forget the main advantage of virtual gaming – the convenience of mobile platforms. In the hectic pace of modern living, being able to play anytime and anywhere is a decisive factor for most sufferers of contemporary lifestyle. And what do we get when mobile and live dealer games combine? The magic that we all seek – only this way it’s at the top of our fingertips, no traveling required.

Hit the Tables Any Time You Like

Passionate casino goers often insist there’s no genuine gambling experience without the tables, where the skills can shine, hands clash, and the bluffing is real. There’s no arguing against that, and the merging of live action and mobile is another reason to look forward to playing roulette, blackjack, and other card games online, in real-time and on the go.

Nowadays, a gaming site is not considered complete without live action, even by those who couldn’t care less about it. A rich live offering has become a staple of the iGaming industry and seeing a site without it, we can’t help but think: “They don’t try hard enough, so there must be something else wrong with them.” It doesn’t matter if they are perfectly adequate in all other respects, many would still object to the omission. Not only this, but we have come to expect every possible card variant, competent dealers, and flawless functioning of the system – anything less and there’s going to be trouble. Sounds harsh, but high expectations are not necessarily a bad thing. Next, to competition, they are what drives the progress on the market – the higher the standards, the harder operators try to rise to them and meet the demands of the community.

Mobile Dealers in High Demand

Statistics do not lie: on a sample group of 901 online casinos, 541 are equipped with live tables, and out of that number, as many as 494 offer these on mobile. Currently, the most popular provider of this technology is Evolution Gaming, and their revenue figures for 2016 testify to the increasing demand for this type of online gaming. According to the official financial reports for the company, the huge spike in earnings, compared to nine previous years, was due to a number of clients requesting mobile live dealer environments. Martin Carlesund, the CEO, confirmed for the press that mobile-generated income accounted for more than half of the entire 2016 revenue, rising to 46% in the last quarter.

One Click Away

Either from separate locations or land facilities, more and more sites invest resources in streaming the games and providing an enjoyable time to customers worldwide. For those thrill seekers who can’t find the time to travel to a physical location, this is a welcome opportunity that makes the deal as real as it can be. The only requirements are a mobile device that can support the software and a speedy Internet connection. Considering the fact that most of us are already in possession of these two things, the term instant gratification comes to mind to best explain all the benefits of a full package such as this.

Players can access live dealer games the same way as all other offerings on the site. Depending on the operator, there might be a download version instead of Flash-based one, but that is a minor inconvenience, which some even prefer. While the choice of games is not always as wide as we’d like, it is only a matter of time before live dealer platform development reaches another milestone in offering a full range of variants that can be found at the best brick and mortar establishments.
