The division between online casinos and their land-based counterparts will be non-existent. The gambling market is progressing in that direction. One of the major signs of that progression is the emergence of live table games. The live table games are online versions of games usually played in a land-based casino. It is expected that the number of game developers offering live table games will increase in the coming years. The game selection and its variety are expected to increase as well.
