International Live Casino Stream Planned

The collaboration between MGM Resorts International and Playtech was announced a few weeks ago. They plan to stream live casino games from real casinos with real dealers. The dealers, however, are expressing concerns about this concept.

Plans for Live Streaming

The two companies aim to stream live casino games online for players from various countries, starting in the UK and Mexico with potential legal issues in the US.

Dealer Discontent

Dealers at the Bellagio Casino, operated by MGM, have voiced their discontent in a leaked letter to the management.

• Lack of consent for privacy violation
• Safety concerns in high-crime areas like Mexico
• Fear of potential identification through AI tools
• Potential legal issues in Nevada regarding image and voice rights

Dealer Grievances

The dealers’ concerns whether safety or financial, as they may seek additional compensation for their contributions to the streams. The planned live casino stream faces resistance, and resolving these issues remains uncertain.

Similar Launch in Bavaria

Spielbanken Bayern in Norway launched live table games online in April 2024, facing criticism from the state’s gambling addiction organization but no apparent backlash from croupiers.
