    The delay is the other way around... you see the cards quite a bit before the video.

    There is a real person there but the cards are still computer based.

    In other words, the dealer is faking it and just there for looks.

    Tell the dealer to say something or touch her nose.

    She will do it.

    You obviously didn't understand my post.

    I acknowledged that there is a real person there. They will even talk to you.

    That being said, she isn't dealing real cards. She is faking it. It's all computer generated and they have a real person standing there for show.

    Basically your playing BJ against a computer while you look at some girl I a webcam. The girl is independent if the game.

    Did you win?

    Set down at some tables and just watch how fast people lose their money.

    Casinos are tricky at best.... 5Dimes dumped the one with those issues a couple months ago and kept the others. I believe it was a BLR service... but that just shows that T. would not stand for that level of shady. I cannot see how you can go wrong with live casino and have also noticed that they are usually using 2 deck shoes and with the live feed you can easily count into them. Noticed this a year ago and guess has not become big enough issue for anything to be done about it. Not sure if they also have a DGS casino, if so then your money is good with it. Dgs has an impeccable record and also completed a recent audit verifying the overall integrity of the platform. Good luck...

    The blackjack at 5dimes live casino is not very good...

    1. If the dealer has an ace showing this is what they do:

    --- 1. ask player 1 if he want insurance..., then he gos on with his hit/stand/doble/split.....
    ---2. ask player 2 " "
    etc...

    After all of that the dealer deals their 2nd card (yes, they only deal themselves one card until it's their turn to go)
    Then they flip the card. I'm not even sure what happens if you double or split and dealer got bj, I couldn't get the dealer to answer that question.
    Even worse though, because of the messed up order of checking if the dealer has a blackjack, it prevents you from surrendering with an ace on the board. Finally, you can only split aces twice.... where it is 4x in Las Vegas.

    Not worth bothering IMO.

    When you say she isn't dealing real cards, what do you mean? There is an actual shoe there with real over sized cards drawn from the shoe that you see in its entirety. Are you saying those cards are blank and that the computer somehow shows whatever image they want on it? They look like real plastic cards, flexible and everything.

    Yah he's saying they are not cards at all, and computer generated. I really have no idea and never played in the live casino, mostly because I assume it's a scam one way or another.

    I believe the dealer is real. I believe the cards are fake.

    In other words, I think the cards are computer generated.

    Ever notice he delay after a card is dealt?

    I've actually worked with some gaming software. If you goto any Vegas casino, you could have two identical slot machines next to each other yet one will be set to pay out more than the other.

    It's all computer based and programmable. With that said, there is a certain area that the theoretical hold must be set at to be compliant with the gaming commission.

    I have no idea who regulates these online overseas casinos.

    If you play blackjack by the book, you should only lose around 52%. With that said, I feel like these online casinos have it set for you to lose like 70% of the time.

    It wouldn't surprise me if the software could be programmed to even decrease your odds of winning if you upped your bet.

    I have messed around playing blackjack at 5dimes. It seems better than other sites but I still wouldn't put any serious money on blackjack at any online casino.

    If fake cards, how do they display whatever image they want on them?

    OK, but this is where I am confused. If the cards are fake, then how do you actually see the image on the real plastic cards they are dealing form the shoe? In other words, when the lady takes a card from the shoe, it has an image on it, say the king of clubs, How on earth can they make us see a card that has whatever image they want on it? What are we seeing then?

    I've seen the delay work both ways, I've also seen it where both the animation and live dealer are in sync. I've seen them take a card from the shoe and wave it over the scanner a couple times, and in the process, seen the type of card it is (Suit and number). How are they able to display such images on these cards if they are fake?

    I seriously wonder if they are or arenīt !! Iīve played it before and I have to say sometimes it just doesnīt seem real!! and not just because if Iīm losing or not, the way the cards get dealt itīs just funky ! Believed me, Iīve played in real casino MANY times, and Iīve lost many times also LOL !! so itīs not about that. Now I just stay away from it cuz you know, who the hell could give me certainty ?? nobody !!
    I donīt buy it although I wish it was fair, I love to play blackjack but hell, I dontīwant to be robbed !! Like Mikail said, save your money for the Sports.

    I feel that the live casino is legit...

    And some one saying about the computer generated cards being dealt by a dealer sounds so stupid ...

    wow play three frikken hands and becuase you lose 2 you're convinced it's rigged? I'd suggest you stay away from casino gaming in general.
