PokerStars has spent the past few months working on expanding into the online casino market. As one of the world’s most popular online poker sites, the operator aims to reach out to a wider audience by providing online casino games. The company’s latest addition is a suite of live casino titles. Live casino games are those that do not run on random number generator software.

Rather than having an RNG determine the outcome of the game, a dealer is responsible for spinning the roulette wheel or dealing the hand of blackjack. This is broadcasted via webcam, allowing the players to interact with a real person while they gamble online. The new live dealer games at PokerStars will be provided by Evolution Gaming. The company offer live dealer versions of blackjack, roulette, baccarat and casino hold ‘em.

The games were first made available in Spain in February, and now they will be rolled out in various other international markets. With nine tables, the new PokerStars’ live dealer offering is the “largest dedicated environment” that Evolution Gaming has ever created. As such, there will be plenty of opportunities for players to take part in fun and exciting live dealer games.

“Live dealer games appeal to a broad array of players who enjoy the added level of authenticity and trust that comes from seeing the action occur in the analogue world,” says Sam Hobcraft, Director of Casino Games at PokerStars. PokerStars continues to expand into other areas of online gambling. With online pokies, live casino games and poker games, the site offers up a vast selection for players.

Shortly, PokerStars will launch its own sportsbook, entering into the lucrative sportsbetting market.
