If you go back 15 or 20 years, very few people would be able to tell you what the word ‘streaming’ actually meant. Fast forward to today, the word is heavily used, and it’s very hard to find someone that doesn’t understand what it means.
It may not be used as much as Hello, O.K., Coca-Cola, or Facebook, for example, but it’s definitely up there with the most commonly used words in the English language – something that people couldn’t have predicted just a few years back.
Here is a closer look at how the action of streaming (a method of transmitting or receiving data, especially video and audio material, over a computer network from a service provider to a user) has become extremely important in today’s age of technology and communication.
Why is streaming becoming more important as we head into the future?
For a great many people out there today, especially the younger generation, a pastime is no longer taking weeks to complete a puzzle, spending time pruning the bushes in the garden, or taking a gentle stroll in the woods. Instead, a pastime is streaming your favourite movie on Netflix or Prime, streaming regular sporting events, or streaming yourself playing your favourite video games, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Fortnite, and GTA, to your subscribers.
Streaming allows us to watch uninterrupted content for hours at a time, and the better the device & more stable the internet connection, the better your streaming experience will be. It’s therefore of vital importance that the internet service providers, the streaming device tech companies, and the streaming giants continue to provide us with the best possible services as more and more people around the world look to the internet to indulge in their modern pastimes.
What else can be streamed onto smartphones, desktops, laptops, and other devices?
You can also now stream some of the world’s most advanced live dealer casino games directly to your device from a growing number of fully licensed gambling sites, namely online casinos. Live dealer casino games, such as Live Roulette, Live Blackjack, Live Casino Hold’em, Live Craps, and Live Baccarat, can now be streamed 24 hours per day in High Definition.
The best live casino sites out there today are hosted at various trusted gambling websites that are controlled by reputable operators, and some of the most trusted sites include Unibet Casino, Party Casino, BetMGM Casino, Golden Nugget Casino, and Borgata Casino. You can also play a wide range of live dealer casino games at 888 Casino, Caesars Casino and Sportsbook, Resorts Casino, SugarHouse Casino and BetRivers Casino, to name just a few top sites. However, you need to be at least 18 years of age (or 21 in some US states) to play live casino games in the real money mode, and you need to register an account at one of these sites before you can start playing.
Which other types of live dealer games can be streamed from online casinos?
In addition to the traditional favourites, you can also find a growing number of cutting-edge television game show-themed live dealer games, such as MONOPOLY Live, Adventures Beyond Wonderland, Live Crazy Time, and Live Cash or Crash.
Other notable mentions include The Money Drop Live, Live Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt, Live Mega Ball, Live Lightning Dice, Live Lightning Roulette, and Live Deal or No Deal. These state-of-the-art online casino games are often brought to you by one of several leading online casino software providers, such as Playtech, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt and Pragmatic Play.
Live dealer casino games are generally only ever available in the real money mode, unlike slots and other online casino games that can also be played in the risk-free demo mode. However, the good news for low rollers is that you can often play a live dealer casino game from as little as $/€/£0.10 to $/€/£0.50 per hand/round, depending on exactly which game you decide to play.
Conclusion
Whether you’re streaming the latest TV show on Prime or watching a Twitch star playing your favourite video game, there’s something for everyone, and streaming is well and truly here to stay. Anyone can stream. It’s ultra-convenient, and in some cases, it’s free. You just need a decent device, such as a smart TV, smartphone, laptop, PC, or tablet, and reliable internet speeds.
