Paddy Power Live Dealer Review

General

The brand Paddy Power is to Ireland what Ladbrokes or William Hill are to the UK - a long established betting organization with a strong terrestrial and now online presence.  In fact, Paddy Power are the largest provider of fixed odds sports betting services in Ireland.

Primarily a sports betting and wagering operator, they only launched their online casino in 2004 under license from the Isle of Man's Gambling Supervision Commission.  Their live casino began operating at the end of 2009 and was powered by Evolution Gaming. In April 2013 they switched platforms and their live casino games are now provided by Playtech.

All Paddy Power betting channels, including sports, poker, bingo, financials, lottery, wagering and casino are ultimately owned by parent company Paddy Power Plc, a company listed on both the London Stock Exchange (PAP) and Irish Stock Exchange (PLS) and whose market capitalization as at February 2010 was over €1.1 billion.

About the stream / web cast: On 17 April, 2013 Paddy Power launched their new live casino with all games video streamed from Playtech's live site in Riga, Latvia. All aspects of game conduct and delivery are managed by Playtech.

Notable feature: Dedicated live room - Paddy Power's dedicated live room and the tables within it (roulette and blackjack) are only available to Paddy Power customers. Players logged on at other casinos powered by Playtech cannot access these tables. There are other Playtech powered casinos with dedicated tables (bet365, Gala), but an entire dedicated room is a first for both Playtech and Paddy Power.
