Smart Live Casino is one of the new concept TV shows attempting to bring the live casino experience to your own living room. Broadcasting 24
hours a day, seven days a week from its London studios, Smart Live Casino allows you to play either Roulette or Blackjack live on your TV, or
via the website by streaming the TV signal direct to a Java-based console. Available on Sky TV channels 869 and 870, and FreeView channel 22, the
show is readily available to all. Offering large bonuses and free play options, as well as a poker room, slots and video poker, Smart Live Casino
has plenty to offer. With a free play option, its also possible to sign up and "try before you buy"!
The signing up process for Smart Live Casino is very straight forward. Simply enter your details (address and age), and choose your password
and thats it. There is no requirement to enter payemnet details, although the signing up process does ask you to make a deposit. If you want
free play, simply click cancel here, and you can play straight away (although you won't win anything!). If you do want to play for cash now,
its wothwhile checking out the promotions first because Smart Live Casino have a first-deposit match offer available of up to £100.
There are several ways of playing the live games. You can either play using your interactive remote control, play by telephone, or use the pop-up
Java console (pictured left) from the website. Personally, I prefer the console, as it provides a weath of additional information relating to
past numbers and statistics on recent spins and bets. The console is very easy to use, you simply click on the chip you want to place, and then
click on where you want to place the chip. The relevent spaces on the board that will be affected by the bet are highlighted. As this is a live
game, a time will appear letting you know how long you have to place your bet. If you win, you are instantly credited with the amount you have
won.
Obviously with a live TV show the main feature is being able to have a real casino experience with a live roulette table - you can actually see
your bets occuring in real time on a real wheel. Other features, such as the sign-on match bonus of up to £100, and special feature nights, like
as Midweek Madness, where you can actually get free money to play with, and, for VIP High-Rollers, there is a dedicated channel allowing huge amounts
(up to £5000) to be wagered add to the experience. Finally, if you do not want to play roulette, Smart Live Casino offers additional games, such as
Blackjack, Poker, Slots and a wide variety of flash-type games.
Smart Live Casino has many excellent features ranging from the unique gameplay experience of having a live casino in your own living room, to a wide range of bonuses and additional games, like Blackjack and Poker. The presentation throughout is slick, and cannot be more highly recommended.
