While Newcastle isn’t hurting for actual casinos, more and more Newcastle residents have started to turn towards the idea of live dealer casino apps, perhaps to give them their ‘fix’ from home, or to allow them to play variants of games that casinos in Newcastle don’t offer.
Let’s look at why this is the case.
What is a live dealer casino app?
A live dealer casino app is an app that allows you to interact with a ‘real’ casino dealer from the comfort of your own home.
Traditionally, – well, as traditional as you can get – online gambling would have been done with some computer-controlled system. Kind of like playing a game. However, faster internet connections have changed this. While those games do still exist, more and more gamblers in Newcastle are turning towards live dealer options.
With live dealer casino apps, you’ll be watching an actual casino dealer via video link (don’t worry, you’re not on video), and they’ll be in a place that looks very similar to an actual casino. They’ll then deal cards, spin wheels or whatever the game requires. You place your bet. You win or lose. It’s all very snazzy.
It’s just easier to gamble this way
If you head out to a casino in Newcastle, then expect to budget a couple of hundred quid. Not just for the gambling (although that will eat up a fair chunk of it), but also for food, drinks, public transport etc. Oh, and you also need to have a lot of free time. Don’t forget that while casinos stay open late, they will eventually close too. It’s a lot of hassle.
Online live dealer casinos? No hassle at all. Well, very limited. You won’t need to get dressed up. You won’t need to hop on a bus or flag down a taxi. You don’t need to spend £30 on a pint (yes, we know that is not the actual price, but it might as well be). You just pick up your phone and you’re ready to go. You shouldn’t feel compelled to keep gambling, either. If you head to an actual casino, you can spend hours there, and you feel like you need to, as you’ve put in so much effort to get there. Online? Just play for a few minutes if you want. It’ll be cheaper.
More accessible
Mobile gambling is a lot easier than heading to an online casino. If you have a smartphone with an internet connection, then you have access to some of the best online casinos UK. No hassle. Play from your bed. Play from your sofa. Play on your morning commute. Your choice.
Of course, the accessibility also means that if you’re not a fan of a certain online casino experience, you can easily hop to another one. A lot of people in Newcastle are doing this, with some of the people we’ve spoken to being members of several sites. Sometimes, it’s because they want to play other games, and in many cases, because they want to take advantage of some of the amazing casino bonuses.
Remember that, for the most part, there are no opening hours for online casinos. This means you can gamble whenever you want. Although, do bear in mind that there may be limited games running during the night. This is because online casinos will only run what is making them money, and if unique variants of games get very few players during the night, then they won’t run them.
More game options
Actual casinos have limited floor space. This means that you’ll often be limited in the types of games that you can play. This is especially true of British casinos, where many gamblers love to spend time on the slots rather than at a table. This means that many casinos, including a few in Newcastle, often have most of their space dedicated to slots and a small space dedicated to table games. Of the table games that do exist, you’ll
normally find standard roulette, blackjack and a basic version of poker or baccarat. Nothing too extreme – just the type of thing that would attract the most punters.
But there are no space limitations online. Of course, you can still play the basic versions of all your favourite table games, but many online casinos are trying to spice things up by introducing more unique variants of their games for you to jump into. You may also find games that you would never find in a typical casino. This includes many game show-type games that some online casinos have started to introduce nowadays.
Trust us, you will have no issues finding a game that you want to play online. We never do, and we are always looking to shake up our casino experience.
Similar to the actual casino experience
Nothing will ever truly replicate the feel of being in an actual casino. It is a unique experience. You are surrounded by various sights, sounds and people. However, a live dealer casino does come close. It tries to recreate the experience as much as possible.
This means social features (you can chat to other gamblers), dealers who know what they are doing, sounds of an actual casino, and some of the sights of an actual casino. The only thing you’ll be lacking will be the smell, but if you can pump the scent of cheap cologne into your room, then you’ll come close to that, too!
- Final thoughts
- Newcastle gamblers love live dealer casino apps. They will continue to be more popular, too, considering the sheer number of gamblers who are now deciding to gamble online. People want a cheap experience that comes close to proper gambling. If you are into that sort of thing, then go through some of the top online casinos in the UK and choose whatever tickles your fancy. Set yourself a budget for gambling, and have some fun. You’ll be surprised at how much cheaper it is in comparison to a night out!
