So I’ve been playing online casino games a lot and recently I discovered that I can literally feel like I’m in Vegas thanks to the live casino. Live casino means you are playing online with the real dealer that’s connected to you via the webcam. You can see how he or she is taking the bets, dealing the cards or placing the ball in the online roulette. You can even talk to the dealer and hear them talking to you. From the first glance, working in a live dealer casino seems like a dream job but is it really like this?
First of all, this is definitely a great job for those who like gambling games. This is the perfect chance to see them from the other side of the table and understand how all that casino things work from the inside. And at the same time, you don’t need to spend hours in the casino full of people and cigarette smoke (smoking is allowed in most of the land-based casinos) as there are only you, the cam and the players from different parts of the world watching you dealing the cards.
But this is actually the only difference between the real and the live dealer casino. The fact that gamblers are not sitting around the actual table doesn’t mean the dealer shouldn’t be acting like they ARE. Whether they are playing poker, baccarat or online roulette, the dealer should always be smiling and positive and, what’s even more important, should be sharing all the players’ feelings. Rejoice all their winnings and take their rage when they lose. The thing is, the gamblers are not always the good and smiling guys in expensive suits. Each day the dealer is facing many different people and some of them will not be the pennies from heaven. Some players, especially the ones who are streaming their gaming process, will be making silly jokes and trying to offend you and you should be smiling and dealing the cards anyway. Sounds like a pretty tough task, doesn’t it? And God help you if you make a mistake and it leads to the player’s loss. You’ll experience all the possible rage of hot-tempered gamblers who were waiting for the jackpot and got nothing instead.
But let’s not get too sentimental about the poor live dealer casino workers as they are trained to do their job perfectly and let’s not forget the fact that their main task is to tempt you to make another large bet as they are getting personal bonuses from the highrollers. Oh, as for the bonuses. While in the land-based casinos we can leave the tips to the dealer and be sure he or she will get them, in live dealer casino you never know if the dealer gets the tips or the casino owners.
To sum up, I can say the job of the live casino dealer is not the easiest one but just like any other job. This is a perfect way to get to know more about the gambling business from the inside and it’s also quite flexible — online casinos work for international gamblers so you can choose between morning, afternoon or night shifts and plan your days off in advance. But it demands strong communication skills and patience because you never know what kind of players you are going to meet today and what will they act like. Nevertheless, it doesn’t hurt to try. So if you are a fan of gambling games, maybe it can become your dream job and start bringing you regular salary instead of the random winnings?
