NetEnt has launched what it calls a new revolutionary new dimension to online gaming.
I suppose it is, as we’ve not seen this before from any of the live casino providers.
If your wondering what I’m talking about then have a look at the image above.
Netent has developed a Virtual Lobby for their live games. At the moment it’s an optional extra for licensees, so we’re not going to see it everywhere.
Customers will be able to brand the area, much like the dedicated areas you see at other live casinos but for a fraction of the cost.
The lobby, apart from the dealer and physical assets like tables & wheels is all generated by computer wizardry.
The lobby isn’t just a lobby, as you can play at one table and see the results of other tables exploding above them and any free seats.
Moving between tables is a simple process of clicking on another table and you’re transported there.
The product has been developed with MR Green, who has exclusive rights to some of the functionality you see displayed.
It’s been a few days since the launch and I’ve tried playing at Mr Green Live Casino and discovered a few things along the way.
In true Netent style, the first release is on Mobile and in landscape mode only – you’re not even going to see it on your PC.
The best way to access it is through the MR Green App for IOS devices.
Android I found I could access easily through a normal browser but there’s also an app on the Play store should you want that.
Success is a bit hit and miss depending on your device. I only got half a roulette table when playing on my older iPad.
Teething problems, which no doubt will be resolved shortly.
I found the load times of the lobby and games to be very slow, so be prepared to see a blank screen while all the background components load.
What I like about this innovation is it’s an innovation.
Netent has realised that it needs to do something with it’s live casino product and this is a great way to start the process.
Lets hope more developments are in the pipeline.
