Without a doubt, one of the most important developments for online casinos was the invention of live dealer games. Thanks to ever-faster internet speeds, streaming in HD is possible. This creates an environment similar to a land-based casino. In addition, online players are able to chat and interact with the dealers, as well as the other players, sitting at the same gaming table. Online live dealer games are streamed from high-tech mega-studios, with the largest being in Riga, Latvia.

It's interesting, that throughout history, gambling was thought of as a base activity carried out by the great unwashed. The soldiers and peasants gambled in the inns and streets. Yet today, the narrative has turned a full 180 degrees. many casinos will have a strict gambling dress code to the point where traditional working-class clothes are banned. In some ways, this is a form of reverse psychology. The casinos want their punters, who they know are not rich, to feel as if they were.

Though the land-based casinos of the United Kingdom can't compare in size to those found in other gaming locations like Macau or Las Vegas, they are huge for the UK. In spite of being dwarfed by other major casinos around the globe, they offer a particularly English gambling experience. Of course, the games and rules all follow international standards, but the quintessentially Englishness, with all the mannerisms, aloofness and sophistication can make the gaming experience into something more.
