Be the Dealer (Casino Village on Net) Casinos

Casinos with this software emerged around year 2001, but managed to attract interest of gamblers. That’s because casinos offer players unique opportunity to play as a dealer! Each game you can try to play against other player and get money he/she loose (or you can loose your money if opposite player is lucky). Casino will take moderate 1,5% from all your winnings as a dealer (that’s less than poker-rooms rake and less than house edge in many games). But you should deserve right to be a dealer. When you play as a player you earn one “credit point” for every dollar you bet. You can spend this points by playing as a dealer. One credit point is subtracted for every player’s dollar bet.

There are dozens of casinos with Be the Dealer software (real name of soft provider is Casino Village on Net) some of them are in the same group, other are independent and at least one casino joined a group of casinos with Aqua software. I think all BtD casinos use the same financial processor and all offer identical sign-up bonuses.

Casinos offer 20% first deposit bonus up to $200. Besides players get 200% credit points for each game (you remember that this points allow you to play as a dealer). The same points act as comp-points. So if you do not want to be a dealer you can convert points to the money ($1 per 1000 points). Player who won the most during a day got special bonus ($100). Some casinos can offer additional bonuses and incentives to existing players. For example, Be the Dealer Casino every week offers additional 15-25% bonuses plus have special events (e.g. blackjack players get special bonus for 7-7-7 combination).

Casinos offer not very broad set of games (Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Pai Gow, Caribbean Poker, Casino War, slot-machine and video poker) but you can play as a player or a dealer in each game (you should have certain limit of money and points to play as a dealer). New version of software has multiplayer tables and you can chat with human dealer or other players. You can deal only against other players, but as a player you can choose to play either against casino or against human dealer. I prefer to play against other players: you can chat and you are sure that casino has absolutely no reason to cheat you ;)! Of course you can play “For Fun” to test software.

I played at two casinos with Be the Dealer software and I can say that they are honest casinos and soft is absolutely fair. Psychologically I prefer to play against other players, but I have no problems playing against casino. I’ve wagered more than $10k in Be the Dealer and lost just small portion of a bonus. Later I’ve got two no-deposits from them but free money easy come and easy go; anyway I’ve enjoyed a play. Another one was Play and Deal where I’ve got $50 through MCO (MyCasinoOpinions) redeem. I’ve managed to rise to $150 and successfully cashed out $100. At both casinos I’ve got money fast and without any obstacles.

This software isn't bad, but lately company had financial problems. Be careful depositing at Be the Dealer casinos!
