Microgaming adds Live Dealer Blackjack
23 January 2010, Staff writer
Finally! One of the true online casino software powerhouses has come to
the party with a long overdue live blackjack game.
For some time now Microgaming's real-dealer game range has been limited to
roulette and baccarat. But just a couple of days ago they announced that
the release of a new blackjack game dealt via video stream. And it
comes with a couple of nice features that Microgaming are hoping will set it
apart from competing offerings...'Bet Behind' and 'Waiting List'.
'Bet Behind', allows players to bet on other players' boxes just as you can
in a 'bricks and mortar' casino. Full tables are no longer an impediment
to play, with no limit on the number of players that can bet on the play of
already seated players. There is also no limit to the number of games you can
participate in by Betting Behind other players.
'Waiting List' is a game queuing feature that lets you notify the casino of a
particular dealer or table you would like to play at, and receive an alert as
soon as a seat becomes available at that table.
A Microgaming spokesperson said of the new blackjack game in a press
statement:
'Microgaming has always been at the forefront of gaming innovation. We are
committed to providing players with an enhanced gaming experience and are
constantly working with our operators to ensure that our games are inventive and
entertaining. Microgaming Live Blackjack offers a real casino experience to
online players in a safe, secure and fair environment.'
The statement also reiterated the fact that Microgaming's live dealer studio
was the first to be audited and formally approved by eCOGRA’s Seals Compliance
Committee.
