The History of Live Games

While gambling has existed since ancient times, the first organized gambling hall was established in Venice in the 1600s.  Gambling made its way to America in the 1800's, and from its humble beginnings in saloons and on riverboats, it quickly became a multi-billion dollar industry with the rise of Las Vegas.

The history of online live games begins with the Internet, of course. Once the Internet took off in the mid 90's many casino operators became interested in migrating the popular pastime online.

With the passage of the Free Trade & Processing Act in Antigua and Barbuda in 1994, casinos were finally able to obtain legal licenses which would allow them to operate online. That same year, the first online gaming software company was founded. The rest, as they say, is history.

At first online casinos were relatively primitive and their games didn’t really compare with their offline counterparts. Technology advanced quickly, however, and soon there was very little difference between the appearance of online and offline games. In recent years, casinos have been able to introduce live dealer games online thanks to the ability to stream live video across the Internet. Dealers simply deal games as they would in any regular live establishment and the video is then relayed on the site. This allows players to enjoy the presence of a live dealer just as they would at a local casino.
