Online Casino RNG V Live game shootout: Introduction

December 18 2009, Staff writer


So what's better to play online...video streamed games with real dealers and gaming equipment or good old fashioned computer graphic games with built in random number generators ("RNG") to determine outcomes?

We're unashamedly biased so will pick the live games any day, so long as you're connection speed is up to the challenge.  But I guess we have to at least try to be impartial, so we came up with a test that applies a set of consistent (un-weighted) criteria on a by-game and by-casino basis to arrive at an objective assessment of the quality of each category of game offering.  The criteria applied were:

Game limits
Human interaction
Real dealer, real cards
Game rules
Time taken to complete deal
Playability over slow connection
Game/variation range
Interface look and feel

The aim of the game was to come up with a comparison un-hampered by preconceived notions and preferences - hence the lack of criteria weighting (ie applying a bias, the criteria 'Real dealer, real cards' would be heavily weighted).

Summary results are set out below.  More details of the assessments are set out on the links provided.
