Technology and Software For Live Dealer Casinos

Friday, January 1st, 2010

The technology for live dealer casinos has made some significant improvements over the last few years, providing a whole new level of excitement and realism to online gaming. There are two predominant software development companies who have fine tuned this technology and can now provide an internet experience that is above and beyond the internet-only casinos. These software companies are VueTec and Playtech. While they differ in their basic methodology and philosophy, they both deliver a very impressive product that is safe, secure, and realistic.

VueTec is a software development company that is based in the United Kingdom. Their staff has had a hand in the operations and management of casinos worldwide with over 70 years of experience under their belt. They have been granted patents for gaming devices and methods in the UK, Europe, and the USA. VueTec actively develops and supports software solutions for real casinos, while providing an internet experience with live dealers that is one of the best available to date.

VueTec utilizes the Distance Gaming platform, which allows players to participate directly in games that are being played in a real land-based casino, with the use of a home pc and an internet connection. The software provides actual footage of a game as it is in progress. The Distance Gaming system connects the player with the casino through sensors, cameras, displays, and a game controller which has been added to each table. This allows the progress of the game to be monitored on a central server, which then communicates with each of the game controllers at the individual tables. The information that is provided to the server is combined with the actions of each internet player, allowing for a smooth experience in the game.

Games are provided to the customers through their web browser, and the software is written in Java programming language. The program will automatically download into a cache file the first time that one of the games is played and is then stored on the PC for future use. No manual installation is required to begin gaming, and no technical expertise is necessary to begin to play. This software is compatible with both PC and Mac users, which is good news for Mac players.

One of the benefits of Distance Gaming is that it is so user friendly and secure. Members can easily access to their gaming accounts, and can deposit funds either online or at the casino cash desk. The level of security is extremely high, with all communications between the casino’s Distance Gaming server and the player’s pc protected through the use of SSL encryption, making tampering and interception impossible.

In a nutshell, VueTec offers an advanced technology that provides one of the most realistic online gaming experiences with live dealers available today. It is one of the very few gaming platforms that has the technology to be downloaded by Mac users. There are no pop-ups, no installation, only one initial automatic download, and it is written in Java, which is accessible to everyone. There is no waiting for a spot at a table; when you are ready to play, there will be a spot for you. On the downside, it takes some getting used to learning how to play Early Payout Blackjack, but once you get the hang of it, you will find that it is every bit as fun as the more traditional Blackjack.

The other major software company that has the technology to offer live dealers is Playtech Software Development Co. Playtech is one of the world’s largest publicly traded online gaming software suppliers, and is a leader in the industry. They are highly regarded for delivering high quality products and excellent customer service. The workforce at Playtech is young and talented, and believes in a customer-led development philosophy. Their software carries an official certificate of RNG Evaluation from TST (Technical Systems Testing). TST is independent and impartial testing organization which analyzes the operation of gaming products to make sure that they are fair and secure. There are some pretty stringent and comprehensive legislative and regulatory requirements that are placed on casino owners and operators, and the TST makes sure that these are met. Playtech also carries a certification from ABB, with is the leading trade association representing bookmakers in Great Britain. The ABB’s helps to create an environment where the public can enjoy fair and responsible gaming.

The Playtech software company uses the Live gaming Platform, which provides live dealers through advanced video streaming technology. Players can watch the dealers perform real-time actions like dealing cards or spinning the roulette wheel, as well as communicating with the dealer through the 1-on-1 chat feature. Having live dealers in the game can help bring the online gaming experience to the next level.

Playtech’s Live Gaming system has added some new features, such as VIP Baccarrat, new Baccarat variations, and Baccarat score cards. The Live games menu offers table information with real-time table history, along with pictures of the each of the live dealers. The graphic layouts are sharp and user friendly, and the video quality is excellent. All of the Live Studio footage is recorded, so it can be reviewed at any time it is needed.

In summary, the Playtech software has some of the best graphics available today in online gaming. There is a download required, but it is very quick, simple, and user friendly. Be aware that there are pop-ups that will accompany this download. Unfortunately, Mac users are unable to access or download this software. On the plus side, there is a wide variety of games offered with this software, and the blackjack games that are offered are the more traditional games that players are familiar with. However, if you do want to play blackjack or baccarat, you can expect to wait for a seat at any of the tables since ther is only one person per seat. Roulette players can rest easy though, since there is always a spot at the roulette table.

Whether you decide to try out the Distance Gaming Platform or the Live Game Platform, you just can’t go wrong. Both have the technology to offer live dealers in their games, and they are both equally good in quality and security. This can only make the games so much more enjoyable and realistic for you. As for me, I just can’t wait to see what the technology of tomorrow will bring in online gaming

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

There are few moments that come only once in a lifetime. People want to capture these memorable moments so that they could live them forever. Today, a number of electronics devices can be found which are used to record the important events and pleasant scenarios. Such devices are being consolidated in terms of technology and design. As a result, many new companies have come into the markets in order to knock the emerging opportunities.

Video recorders are the recording equipments that can record and store different kinds of videos on a VCD cassette or CD/DVD. The digital video recorders (DVR) are the most popular type of devices which are used these days. These gadgets record and save the video in digital form on a computer. The best thing with such devices is that these can record both audio and video data from different sources. In fact, the digital recorder is a hard drive that can be connected to the computer system or a video cassette recorder. The basic function of a DVR is to convert the analog signal into the digital signal. All the functions are controlled by the automatic operating system of the equipment.

The digital video recorders boast of having several other features which give users an ultimate photography experience. There are several advantages of using a DVR. These benefits can be stated as the following.

* The DVR does not require the recording mediums such as tapes or floppy drive. It stores the data in its inbuilt memory.

* The users can enjoy recording with this device and at the same time they have the option of playing back the recorded video.

* A TV-buffer is given with the recorder that enables users to record constantly for a longer period.

* The search tool of digital recorder helps the users to search their favourite programmes. This can be done by entering the appropriate keywords like name of the show or the actor.

* This is capable of recording much longer than a VCR. The recorded data can be erased many times.

Some of the leading DVR manufacturers are panasonic video recorder, Sharp video recorder and Toshiba video recorder and Sony video recording device. Panasonic recording gadgets are full of the value-added benefits like video & audio converters, built-in audio recorders, fast searching speed and infrared compatibility. The searching speed is up to 200X and the output resolution is 1080 pixels.

The Sharp video recorder produces good picture quality and great sound. It comes with video plus feature which is quite easy to use. If one wants to plug the device into an amplifier, this stunning gadget is a perfect solution for him or her. It comes with front inputs, two rear lead plugs and a phone connection.

The look of this equipment is amazing and the sound quality is unmatchable.

The video recorders are coming in the form of built-in features of many television sets. These are produced by some of the leading TV manufacturers these days. This facility enables the users to record any particular live TV programme into the device so that they could watch it afterwards. Many CCTV companies also use the recording gadgets in their surveillance systems. This is done because the DVRs can execute recording for a longer period. Such devices can be helpful for catching criminals as these can capture the moments when the crimes was taking place.

Overall, video recorders have brought the revolutionary changes in the consumer electronics industry. The concerned companies are focusing on research works so that they could bring more innovative features and technologies in the recording equipments in the coming time. For example, Macintosh computers use EyeTV software for downloading and creating the images captured by the recorders. Many other types of softwares are also being used by different companies. Such softwares are used in places like banks, car dealers, retail stores, shopping malls, etc.
