RE:RE:RE:Virtual AI dealersRe: holograms, I don't think that really adds any value to players. When you play big money Blackjack or Baccarat, you want a person in front of you.
re: Disruption - There is really only one big player in the space: Evolution Gaming. Go to Bet365, Pinnacle, 888, any of them and you'll see they are using Evolution's technology. Live dealer technology itself isn't anything new but as a result theres been no innovation. Same old Eastern European woman dealing cards and saying hello to players.
Playgon - they claim to have a faster technology optimized for mobile, a better atmosphere (giving everything a luxury feel) to entice players and are going after more select markets it seems. In my opinion, online websites are offering both Evolution and Playgon side by side and seeing where the players end up.
This really is a case of Playgon simply having the better mouse trap.
