Live dealer table games have been available in Michigan online casinos for a year now.
Operators are increasingly opting for their own dedicated live dealer studio as they celebrate their anniversary.
When participating in live table games, you may observe an increased presence of operator branding readily visible.
This latest trend will not only bring exclusivity for operators but also introduce new advantages for players.
Evolution of live dealer studios in Michigan
On July 22, 2021, online casinos in Michigan introduced live dealer games.
In the last year, live dealer games have been incorporated by 13 out of 15 online casino operators in Michigan. The majority of these operators have chosen Evolution as their live casino partner.
For the past year, Evolution and Playtech operated their live dealer operations from a studio located in Southfield.
In the previous month, BetMGM Casino revealed its plans to establish a private live dealer studio in Michigan.
FanDuel Casino, not wanting to be overshadowed, made a similar announcement weeks later, revealing their partnership with Evolution.
The popularity of exclusive live dealer games dedicated to specific operators is on the rise. Over six online operators in Michigan now offer unique live dealer games that proudly display their logos on the game table or nearby signage.
In the second year of live dealer games in Michigan, there is a growing trend of opening exclusive studios in the state.
What’s the benefit of live dealer games?
Experience the authentic atmosphere of a brick-and-mortar casino, all while enjoying the comfort and privacy of your own home, through a live dealer table game.
At the virtual table, users will have the opportunity to play their favorite game alongside a skilled professional dealer and fellow real players.
The broadcast is clearly happening in real-time, with the gaming screen presenting a range of audio and visual choices. Additionally, it includes a chat box to address any inquiries or concerns that might arise while playing.
At present, players from Michigan who choose online casinos have access to a range of live dealer games such as blackjack, poker, roulette, and baccarat. However, the availability of these games may differ depending on the chosen operator.
Transparency is likely the main factor that could influence players to choose a live dealer game.
When engaging in a game such as roulette, a live person spins the wheel while the player witnesses every spin. The outcome solely relies on luck. Conversely, in virtual roulette games, the winning result is determined by random number generators.
Operations at our establishment mirror those of a genuine casino. The shuffle machines are kept in clear sight, and whenever we introduce a new dealer to a table, the ongoing games and activities are temporarily halted.
The tempo of the game creates an authentic experience, ensuring a smooth and constant flow of gameplay. This enables players to engage in more rounds or spins, maximizing their participation. Additionally, individuals who may feel uncertain or inexperienced can choose to observe the game first, familiarizing themselves with its structure and mechanics before actively participating.
What’s the benefit of an exclusive live dealer studio?
Although the live dealer experience is enjoyed by certain users, an exclusive studio offers several additional advantages.
Operators will have the opportunity to provide exclusive promotions alongside their studio games, making it the most noteworthy aspect.
By participating in a non-exclusive live dealer game, you may find yourself playing alongside individuals who have joined through different online operators. Consequently, exclusive offers or benefits become unattainable in such cases.
All players are accessing an exclusive live dealer game through a single online operator.
FanDuel announced the opening of an exclusive studio in Michigan and Pennsylvania, stating that the dedicated live dealer studio will enable them to provide players with exclusive promotions. Additionally, with the inclusion of live updates featuring dynamic stats, the FanDuel Live Dealer Games are expected to appeal to both experienced and novice players. The user interface will also assist players in placing bets and even display potential winnings for their bets.
The emergence of exclusive live dealer studios is anticipated to persist in the state, as Michigan stands among only six states that have legalized online casinos. Evolution has already made substantial investments in Michigan, and now it is further enhancing its presence with the introduction of FanDuel and BetMGM studios.
Jeff Millar, Commercial Director North America at Evolution, expressed his excitement about BetMGM’s decision to partner with them once again for a comprehensive dedicated studio solution. He mentioned that Evolution’s technology is the driving force behind this collaboration. Millar also highlighted the effort put into creating a distinctive atmosphere that players would appreciate in the BetMGM studio located in Michigan, which is one of their most impressive projects. He concluded by stating their enthusiasm to further their presence in Michigan and strengthen their ongoing partnership with BetMGM.
