Full Tilt News: Online poker operator dips into Live Dealer Casino action

When we hear the name of Full Tilt, we instantly think of online poker. For years, the site has been a major player in the global internet card gaming industry, but last year it was made clear that the operator would be expanding its horizons. A modest suite of online casino games were added to the menu at the start of 2014, followed by a domain rebranding as Full Tilt Poker dropped its sir name, henceforth known simply as Full Tilt. Now, the company has expanded its portfolio once more, bringing live dealer casino action to the virtual tables.
Betonline   OnlinePokerRealMoney.co.uk tries to dispel some legal confusions stemming from passage of George Bush's UIGEA of 2006 . Federal status seems to depend on interpretation of the wire act and other laws which were crafted many years ago and which remained high level in nature. The United Kingdom has much clearer laws including their own real money gambling commission .
Full Tilt launched its brand new Live Casino offering last week, brought to the iGaming public from the land-based casino studio of Evolution Gaming in Riga, Latvia. The studio is designed to mirror the look and feel of a traditional walk-in casino, presenting a multitude of table games, professionally trained dealers and floor managers to oversee the procedures. The only thing missing, in fact, is the patrons. That’s because all of the players are at home, playing the games from the comfort of their computer chair, kitchen table or sofa.

Live dealer casinos bring all the action of a traditional casino experience to the player’s fingertips via the internet. The use of web cams provides real-time interaction with the dealers; all lovely ladies clad in amatory attire, of course. One notable difference that many players will appreciate is that, unlike most land-based casinos, you don’t need a big bankroll to participate. The live dealer games at Full Tilt start at just $0.25 per bet.

In terms of exclusivity, the new Full Tilt Live Casino is limited for the time being. There are only 3 live dealer blackjack tables and one live dealer roulette table that depict the Full Tilt brand name. However, players also have access to the full range of live dealer casino games at the Evolution Gaming studio. That means that if the Full Tilt branded blackjack tables are full, or if they wish to play other live dealer games like Baccarat or Casino Holdem, they will have access to those as well. A VIP Suite is also available to Full Tilt’s high-rolling VIP members.

The Head of Account Management for Evolution Gaming, Sebastian Johannisson, extolled the partnership between the two leading online gambling companies. “This is a notable launch in that Full Tilt is highly committed to Live Casino as part of its offer to today’s and tomorrow’s multi-channel online gaming market.”

According to a statement from Full Tilt’s new owners at Amaya Gaming, which acquired Rational Group (parent company of Full Tilt and the world’s largest online poker room, PokerStars) a few months ago, there could be another big endeavor on the horizon. Now that Full Tilt offers online poker and online/live casino gambling, the next realistic step would be to implement an online sportsbook into the mix. While the discussion is on the table, no official announcements have yet been made.

Full Tilt’s live dealer casino games are only available in a few jurisdictional markets for the time being, with the most significant being the UK. However, there is room for probable expansion should the right scenarios fall into place. It’s no secret that Full Tilt’s sister site, PokerStars, is preparing for a major launch in the US state of New Jersey sometime in the near future. Last week, it was decided that New Jersey casinos are no longer prohibited from offering sports betting. Combine those two facts, and the potential for an American online poker, casino and sports betting site from Full Tilt is not entirely out of the question.
