Blackjack Online Game

From its headquarters in London, eCOGRA has announced that it has endorsed Evolution Gaming with its certified live dealer seal. Evolution Gaming has proven its mettle by being the first to ever pass the eCOGRA’s intense live dealer inspection, which means live dealers in online blackjack games. eCOGRA has offices in London, Malta and Stockholm, and has a very sophisticate Internet video-streaming studio in Latvia.

eCOGRA has a celebrated client list that includes 888, Bet at Home, Bet-At-Home, Expekt, Gala Coral Group, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, PartyGaming and Unibet. Evolution Gaming is regulated through the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. Andrew Beveridge reiterated that live dealer operations were considerably different from purely online casinos that were completed based on casino software, and required a different set of best practice standards.

This is how live dealer gaming works – the games are streamed over the net in real time from casino studio. The game is managed by actual pit bosses and staffed by croupiers. Live dealer gaming therefore requires real gambling strategies and tables managed by live staff, as a result the eGAP requirements have to cover both hardware and software. EG had run exhaustive tests to ensure that live gaming ran smoothly, and some of the tests include problem gambling and dispute facilities, anti-money laundering systems, staff training, operator probity, player information security and staff access to sensitive areas. EG also tested the archiving of video recordings of all sessions, collusion controls and overall game statistical performance of roulette, baccarat and blackjack games.

Chartered Accountant Gareth Muirhead led the eCOGRA review team and spent long hours and days in Riga in Latvia where the Evolution Gaming studio is situated. He ensured that eCOGRA’s Total Gaming Transaction Review system was in place, and that the Evolution Gaming team was relentlessly monitoring all gaming activity. CEO of Evolution Gaming congratulated the management and staff on having achieved the eCOGRA certification, and emphasized that this could only boost their confidence in the commercial arena.
