Blackjack players can now look forward to some high quality live blackjack gaming at BetVictor Casino because the online casino has gotten into a partnership with MediaLive to establish its own live casino studio. This will make BetVictor the first online gambling operator to do so because operators usually outsource live casinos.
BetVictor has recently enjoyed a great deal of success, particularly after launching its mobile sports betting product. The live casino studio will put BetVictor head and shoulders over its competitors. Sharing his views about the new studio, Victor Chandler, chairman of BetVictor, said that the company believes it can do things better and give players a better gambling experience than anybody else in the market. He said: “As an operator you want to give that feel of a Mayfair casino which is what our customers want.”
Mobile casinos have become very popular all over Europe, and the mobile gambling market is believed to be worth around $30 million. Since there are so many online casinos in the industry, each of them is having a tough time proving that it is better than the others. BetVictor has expressed hopes that its new live studio will enable it to compete effectively with other gambling companies.

Follow the cards and the decisions
Live, video and stadium products can look similar on a screen, but their descriptions do not necessarily mean the same thing. Look for what the report actually says about the dealer, the cards and each player’s decisions. A recorded rollout does not establish the rules or availability of a game offered now.
- Dealer
- Does the report describe a live dealer, recorded video or another interface?
- Player choices
- Look for how individual decisions were entered and resolved.
- Table rules
- Keep the interface description separate from payouts and rule details.
Does an onscreen dealer tell you the full rules of a game?
No. The presentation and the rules are separate. A report may describe the video or terminal experience without specifying the deck count, payouts or every available decision.
