Gamers in Michigan who use the PointsBet platform will now be able to play live online games with living and breathing dealers. The move is a sign that interactive online casino games are set to be a significant force as the industry continues to develop.
Patrons of the Australian online gaming operator will be able to play Infinite Blackjack, Blackjack, European Roulette, Auto Roulette and Baccarat.
This development came as a result of a partnership with Evolution, an industry leader in the fast-burgeoning field of online playing with live dealers.
Among the stipulations of the new technology are that the video feeds must originate in the jurisdictions in which the players are and the gambling permitted. In this case, it is Michigan, which began allowing online casino games in May of this year.
The growth of this mode of gaming really took off during the pandemic, when so many people were stuck at home and the casinos were closed. Now it looks as though it is here to stay, as it brings with it the excitement of casino play with the comfort and convenience of home.
At PointsBet, they have seen the writing on the wall. As its Vice President of Online Casino Revenue, Aaron O’Sullivan, commented: “Online casino products have seen a rapid growth in the US and the team at PointsBet is responsive to our users and eager to bring our customers the experience and games they are looking for.”
PointsBet – which also operates in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, New Jersey and West Virginia – has worked hard to stay on top of trends in iGaming.
As its President of Product and Technology, Manjit Gombra Singh, pointed out: “Since the launch of our iGaming platform, we have been working to diversify and expand the casino content we offer to players. Our live gaming options in Michigan offer top-tier choices for our players and will serve as a template as iGaming expands in other jurisdictions in the US and Canada.”
