The future of online gaming took a huge step forward recently when Golden Nugget Atlantic City became the first online casino to offer a live dealer for games such as blackjack, Dragon Bonus Baccarat, and American Roulette. GoldenNuggetCasino.com, operator of the largest online gaming platform in New Jersey, began using the live dealers on August 11, 2016, ushering in a new era of gaming that could be more realistic and exciting for those who gamble online.
Golden Nugget's online casino boasts over 300 games and is completely legal for residents of New Jersey. The physical casino partnered with Ezugi NJ to develop the platform that makes a live dealer possible for online games, and a special studio was constructed in the Golden Nugget Casino where the online game is actually ran in real time via sophisticated technology. The platform will allow players to interact with the dealer as well as with other players at their table, something that has never been attempted at this level in an online casino before.
With online casinos already popular in many other places around the world, gaming operators in the United States are looking to capitalize as online gambling becomes available in more regions of the US. Both Las Vegas and Atlantic City now permit casinos licensed in those states to provide online casino games to their residents. Using a live dealer could encourage trust and the willingness of players to give online betting a try.
Games using the Golden Nugget's new live dealer will offer the same wagering options and payouts as the live games in the actual casino. They are also played in the same fashion as live games. For example, most blackjack games in an online casino use a single deck and reshuffle after each hand. The presence of a live dealer opens up the possibility of dealing from a shoe with multiple decks in play, just as it is done live.
To begin, GoldenNuggetCasino.com will offer the live dealer online games from 5 pm to 1 am EST, seven days per week.
