The live casino is one of the best designed that we have seen, with a virtual reality layout that makes you feel that you really are in a modern casino moving around from game to game. They have gone to great lengths to recreate the sounds of a casino as well as having a detailed statistics area for you to monitor your performance at the tables which we have not seen anywhere else.
