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.
