May 21, 2009

Of course this act has been criticized a lot in the gaming industry. The ones who criticized the most are PPA (Poker Player Association) and iMEGA.
Many legal experts, also some of the Minnesota government, claimed that they don’t really believe that such an action could succeed.

Live Dealers on Europa Casino

May 7, 2009

The media is replete with successful celebrities who got their first shots at stardom on “reality” gigs. Entertainers such as Jade Goody, Jennifer Hudson (plus new fiancée, David Otunga), and most recently Susan Boyle, who rocked Britain’s Got Talent with her captivating rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream”.

As online streaming technology advances, Internet exposure is becoming the next serious platform for affording that lucky somebody a real shot at the limelight.

Europa Casino’s recruitment of new European “live dealers,” has one woman seeing herself one step closer to her own dream of stardom. Twenty-four year old Emily Perkins of England has high expectations from her live dealer stint with Europa. “I know that many prominent people visit Europa Casino and I think that getting my face out there will open the door for my acting career,” Emily shared.

Since originally launching the live dealer service, these games have become extremely popular among the growing online gaming community. When you consider this community numbers in the tens of millions, Perkins’ dream of achieving mass exposure seems a lot less far-fetched.

The live games at Europa Casino offer an interactive gaming experience, with players waited on by live dealers, who deal via the hi-tech video feeds provided by Playtech.
