Slot machines are still the most popular games at online casinos. It is the preferred gambling destination for 75% of visitors. About 20% of visitors to the establishments focus on casino games such as roulette, blackjack and others.
The history of online live gambling in early 2000: the first live games were experienced. However, the first samples that became popular among gamblers did not appear until 2007, as internet technology evolved. The industry veteran, the British company Playtech, was the initiator. However, due to the fact that the LIVE format requires expensive equipment, staff and maintenance of studios, the leadership quickly passed to highly specialized developers.
Evolution Gaming, established in 2006 and headquartered and with a studio in Piguet, is the global leader in 2020. Other providers, such as Sweden’s Netent, hold between 20 and 25 percent of the market.
Other companies include:
Extreme Live Gaming is the most active player in major Western European online casinos; LuckyStreak is a young provider with studios in Latvia, which is not surprising; Microgaming is the third most popular on the Russian-speaking internet; and Playtech is an industry veteran that has lost ground badly globally and is virtually unrepresented in online casinos targeting FSU audiences.

Instead of depending on a random number generator, the outcome of the round depends on the interaction of physical objects. This is especially important for high stakes players.
In a live lobby, there are always four to five tables, each with a maximum bet that is higher than the normal bet. This is the only place where the passions and aspirations of super high rollers can be satisfied.
Traditionally, games using HCS have better access to statistical data than games with real dealers.
The human factor is irrelevant. On the other hand, one of the reasons to go for a live game is attractive girls. However, competition with male croupiers is felt.
Disadvantage of live games. The disadvantage represents the opposite side of the main advantage. If you don’t have time or you don’t want to feel bad if you lose.
