Adam Joseph, head of Betfair Casino UK, stated "This is an exciting time and another step forward for Betfair Casino with the launch of Live Casino, replicating the excitement and immediacy that only comes from a live casino experience." He also made the identification that live casino is a truly winning formula, not only for increasing the realism of online gaming, but also as a great way for players who have only ever chanced their hands at the live casinos to 'dip their toes into the water' of an internet casino.

Joseph continued, "Live Casino will provide a smooth entrance for land-based players and attract online players looking for an exciting new game avenue."

Betfair is also ‘going European’ since the company’s live casino is powered by Playtech, featuring live dealers situated in actual casinos throughout Europe.

Live casinos are proving to be immensely popular all amongst the online casino community as they provide that extra dimension to regular web casino play, allowing players to be able to experience the true atmosphere and excitement of top European casinos without having to leave the comfort of their own homes.

Of course there is also a brilliant social element to live dealer gaming, since players are able to chat with the dealers in real time, watching as their lucky cards are dealt right in front of their eyes.
